American automakers sell cars that meet restrictions in california and a handfull of other states. The "other places" don't buy enough to matter.

Kno u.

Damn. Facing peer review, re-examining your data, and realizing your conclusion is skewed? America needs more of you.

You could do worse for a hype-man. You could do a lot better, also.

Fuck hyperloop. The world's automakers are scrambling to compare to tesla (and some are) and NASA can launch rockets again (really well and cheaply). Sure, Elon's a douche and does some crackpot shit but those 2 things are going pretty well. 

Man, I’d take fifty Gates, 20 Musks, and 7 Brasons over 1 Bezos. They're all at least kinda doing stuff (some more than others) while Bezos could have like, I dunno, solved homelessness or been the 5th dickhead with a rocket and chose to be an also-ran.

Bezos'd eat yer kid on tv if it got more prime subscriptions.

And yet the most high-performing cars need a service every time they're driven and are notoriously expensive to keep alive.

Dude... come on. I’m not gonna shit on your situation because shit’s real in the USA, but if you’ll literally never be in the market for a new car (and that’s fine. Send your kids to school instead or take that trip) then it’s not FOR you. 

You and Tolkein, but it still took 5 editions to get the typesetters on board.

Well don’t go hoonjng your electruc mustang or new vette. 

Yes, Ford. Something like a dangerously shit automatic tranny that’s so fucking bad yet you use it for so many years that you get sued and give up on cars altogether after that. That there's volumes of internal memos about. Sure. Yep. Caught in QA. No problem. I hear Chevy sourced only the best self-immolating…

I'm never gonna buy a tesla, but people on the ford bronco raptor post talkin bout how the fenders look like plastic lawn edging from home depot. For all the shit tesla gets about build quality around here, you'd think ford/chrysler/dodge/jeep/plymouth/chevy were paragons of flawless manufacturing that never put out…

Holy shit I havent visited here in YEARS and I get that reference. The last time was with disqus! Now throw me a ZMF, those two posters who got married, and firsties dying of canceraids OR dying in two fires. DITF! We’d say.

You're right. Never exercising is a great way to avoid a heart attack. 🤨

Paid 2.88 yesterday. Felt like stealing 

Jeez, thank you. I keep seeing these people say "oh when prices come down..." and they simply don't do that. These people are out of the market. Done. Toasted. Not buyers.

If you're thinking of maintenance costs on a Ferrari, you aren't in the market for one.

1st and 2nd paragraph? 100%. On the nose.

Well don't sit there gawping.
