So true. When I went to the University of Connecticut in the early 90's it was basically a prison camp of outdated 50's era buildings. I used to sleep under newspapers in my dorm room (silly me for expecting heat) until the day they turned the heat on each fall. Now you go there and it looks like a luxury resort.

Everyone in that room jumping is thinking “I’M RICH!!!!” Poor kid

She literally said “don’t feel bad for me, I get paid to do this” right after that.

You might need to take out a loan to cover the babysitter. GNR played 3 1/2 hours when I saw them on this tour. After a while it felt like we were all hostages.

I am speaking from my 7 years experience as a car salesman.

Because the average consumer has the attention span of a gnat. They put zero effort into buying the right car in the first place, then want to trade it in 2 years later, but are way upside down on their 7 year loan. Very few people will actually pay out the entire 84 months and then keep the car. people who plan to…

The only things not permanently 50% off at Kohl’s are ties before Father’s Day.

Interstate driving is where these fools should be concentrating. Take the monotony out of the long drives. It would be easier to program for as well - see Cadillac’s Super Cruise. But no, these guys are dead set on tackling the hardest problem first - city driving.

As a full time ride share driver, I snuggle comfortably into my bed every night after reading these stories. Fully autonomous taxis are so far from reality, it’s not been funny.

I’ll worry about these bumper covers right after I’m done ranting about all those stick on fake fender vents I see on old Corollas.

Just brings up the obvious question: Why a BMW Supra???

This new X7 grill looks like a Hitler mustache. Sorry, not sorry.

Yes. While I am turning my nose up at these “conveniences” now, I am looking forward to a voice activated home and these delivery services for when I’m old and don’t care that Amazon is spying on me. Heck, maybe Alexa will call 911 for me when she hears my last gasping breath.

Seems like it’s time for home builders to get with the delivery culture, and design houses which have delivery entrances that let drivers put the packages in a locked portion of the home, but keep them out of your actual living area.

At a certain point these artist/moguls only need to release an album to keep the buzz up on the rest of their product lines. I’d guess her next album will come out when sales of everything else cool off.

Not much of a coincidence that when the giant boat sedans of the 70's started shrinking in the 80's, SUV sales started to take off. People need the space. Today’s sedans with the coupe rooflines are useless, so people are buying crossovers instead.

6/7/19

Yes, but they barely sell. There’s no money in them. I used to sell Hyundais, and in 2008 the $9,995 base Accent hatchback had a dealer markup of -$4. Yes, the invoice price was higher than the MSRP. Even at $15-17k, there’s probably $100 difference between invoice and MSRP.

1. Check your rearview, then check in front of you. If there are cars behind you and NONE in front of you, you’re driving too slow. MOVE OVER.

Aside from the Nissan Versa, which still sells in large numbers, pretty much no other automaker is selling large quantities of sub $20k sedans. People would rather bury themselves in an 84 month loan on a crossover than buy a more affordable sedan or hatchback.
