The thing I find hilarious is that nowhere more than the U.S. do cars dominate discussions of the “future of mobility”. Know why? It’s because everywhere else already has it figured out.

Looks like the CFPB is performing a useful service. Let’s eliminate it! 

You fold in a whole new topic with this....and I dont want to derail the topic at hand but its the internet so who cares;

I wonder if car dealers realize that when they write loans for 6+ years that means that there will be less people buying in 5 years? Or do they just assume they can keep writing longer and longer loans and the market will just keep rising?

The stupid thing about milk is that he could be totally screwing over the dairy farmers he claims he’s arguing for.

Both Canada and the US support their dairy industries. Canada does it by the government controlling supply. Below a certain level of imports, there are no duties. Above that, they face stiff tariffs,…

Us “resist” types are still very much against “the shadowy CIA that topples foreign governments and the FBI that bugged MLK and had blackmail files on almost every semi-famous person on Earth”

This is not my experience. I had 2 LS2 GTOs, did over 40,000 miles between them in all weather conditions on summer tires. Had a 14 Mustang GT which I put 92,000 miles on, and did about 50,000 of those miles on summer tires. All of these cars were daily drivers, so they saw plenty of rain, including torrential…

Your pay may be on a sliding scale from month to month, but your student loan payments never will be.

Is a bastardized 300 SL still worth 2 million? I thought the value of classic cars is directly proportion to how original the car is. Chopped-off roof and sticking two yellow lights in the iconic SL grille seem anathema to that. The most expensive 300 SL sold in auction was a 1955 that went for $1 850 000, was in mint…

I agree with this take 100%.

Case in point: many enthusiasts, myself included, don’t buy new. We buy old used cars, or we buy the newer cars just off lease, because we know that that’s where you get the better deal ( Jalopnik has done articles dissuading people from buying new). So if we are all clamoring for manual transmissions, but none of us…

You don’t actually mention in that condescending post why would it be damaging/unsafe to pop it into neutral at 10mph and brake to a stop. But please, tell us what the “Italian who well knew his stuff” said.

3rd Gear: You failed to mention a lot around this story, which just gets much more interesting.

I raged quit that show after just a few minutes.

So more:

Check this out. The people that shot this video edited it so it’s sorted by color:

Much of Tesla’s current debt is convertible into stock above a certain price (around $356/share). Below that and Tesla must repay in cash that it does not have.
