This is why I have zero interest in renting out my car, my house, my horse, or literally anything else I own. People will just destroy it all without a second thought.

The guy is financially ruined and will face serious legal charges for sure.

$30,000?? LOL!

Doesn’t even need a description of the person since he knew he would have them on the Ring recording! There was literally no reason to do this. He was just another nutjob that dreams of being able to do this sort of thing one day. He was probably absolutely giddy when he did it, but it will end up being a mistake that…

I’m gonna say Maserati. Who are their vehicles even for? Lets go over the offerings:

I was back and forth between them and Mitsubishi. Practically speaking, Chrysler is a dead horse that just keeps rolling downhill, but a ton of people know they exist and think it’s a real brand. When I owned a Mitsubishi, many people were shocked that I was able to buy a new one because they thought they stopped…

Heh. You read my mind.

Chrysler literally only has a minivan. Like don’t get me wrong, it’s a pretty nice minivan, but its still one singular vehicle. (and no, im not counting the Voyager separate from the Pacifica because its literally the same vehicle, just for fleet buyers).

Stellantis. If it wasn’t for Ram and Jeep, nobody would care at all that they were still in the US market, and even Ram and Jeep are going to fall away soon with the “WTF?” decisions that have been made with the brand lately. It would have been Nissan if it wasn’t for that, but Rogues and Kicks-es are still going to…

Booby trapping your property with explosives would likely result in felony charges.  Just follow Mark Rober’s lead and make some stink/glitter bomb packages.

That sounds about right. If the driver was the owner, I could see a “deliberate wreck” might rule out insurance, but since they were renting insurance ought to pay the owner, then go after the renter unless there’s something in the rental agreement that affects that. It looks like the driver basically admitted to…

Odd take.  Their sales in the US have continually grown year over year, with the exception of 2022.

In this case, yes, the Turo insurance should cover this, IMHO (but I would not be surprised if they worm their way out of it). The insured is the owner of the truck, they are in the business of renting them, and it’s not like you can vet who is going to decide to be a vigilante with your truck. So Turo should pay out…

Exactly this. With a CT they’re not getting away from you, and the police can spot you instantly. Get their tag number and a description of the thief. Do what the police dispatcher tells you.

1. Fuck package thieves. Genuinely, let them get hit by a bus.

Plymouth wasn’t irrelevant for most of its existence. The whole idea of the brand was to cater to car buyers who couldn’t afford a Chrysler, Dodge, or a DeSoto. Plymouth was crucial to Chrysler’s survival through the the Great Depression.

*Puts flame suit on*

Buick.

Buick. What is it you say you do here?

Of automakers still selling cars in the US market, my initial thought is Mitsubishi. There were a few years in my career where I ended up at the LA Autoshow every year, and I’ll always remember their sad little booth tucked in a back corner (granted this was like 5+ years ago). I think they may have made some headway…
