As I said in the last article about this car when we were still speculating on price and figured it was going to be German car money. RS3 all day! Even loaded with some options that I wouldn’t choose (Technology Package, Driver Assist) the Audi is still less money. Nicer interior, more power, has all the latest safety…

Next to none; there were like 300 million cars on the road at the time; C4C took out about 690K of them. Saying it had a big impact is like saying removing 2 cars out of a market of 1000 can completely upend the market. This is one of the most annoying myths of the recession that has Keith Richards’d on.

C4C has zero impact what-so-ever on the used car market. Anyone who thinks it did is just drinking koolaid and has never actually looked at the situation.

It’s what Henry Ford would have wanted.

Totally cool if they interfere with our elections, just don’t build our cars!

My experience with these cars was that I couldn’t understand why anyone would tune them. My first drive was in a series 1 (2010) bone stock about 6 months old when I drove it. I was fucking staggered at how fast it was. My only benchmark for insanity before that was a LP640 and a bone stock Ford GT.

If you haven’t owned one, I know you won’t understand, but these cars are in a category that really only belongs to... well, people who love cars.

I can’t figure out what this $2,000 piece of clothing is for other than the centerpiece of an Elton John Halloween costume:

Ideally by voting out DJT in one year.

You’re correct, in that they’d have one fewer hurdle. You’re incorrect that GM would be in favor of that. The way it stands now in America is that people are less willing to move jobs because of the impact it may have on their health insurance, and employers know that.

Neutral: EVs will eventually disrupt EVERYTHING. Yeah, that came across like some sort of Bay-Area Tesla Fanboi rant, but that’s not what I mean.

I must disagree: under Trump the EPA has excelled in protecting water and air quality, as evidence by the many, many legislative actions he has taken, for example: drilling in nearly as US waters and expansion of offshore oil; opening the Arctic refuge to drilling; realignment of the definition of hazardous chemicals…

The system that exists now is bankrupting everyone.

2nd year: as a guy who sold cars back in the day, even I wonder why a salesman deserves a commission off me. I already go in knowing what I want, and lately with my own financing. All he doing is going on a test drive with me and asking the sales manager if the price I give is acceptable.

Do we throw transparent plastic on the ground because it’s hard to see? Do we dump waste chemicals in the river as long as they’re as clear as water?

Neutral: Pay for your damn pollution!

Interesting point unfortunately disproven by this very case. You’ll note that stricter emissions requirements are, in fact, a more progressive cause, and California has demonstrated no interest in ‘federal supremacy’ making their norms country-wide, but is instead simply defending its own state right to set an…

Pssst, we are a very strong headed ‘millionaires in waiting’ type of people. No one wants to raise taxes for something to help them now when it could cost them a lot when they magically get really rich from all their bootstrap pulling.

I am generally puzzled by this, can you help me understand?

That’s precisely the response I would expect from a murderer like you.
