Speaking of instigating, who is planting pallets of bricks in cities all over the country?

Yeah, the Tesla didn’t see the human in the middle of the road either. 

Don’t you worry, the new Q25 and Q20T sedans, with their fuel saving front wheel drive and optional all wheel drive are going to be huge hits.

Yes. Who are the Infiniti new car buyers? We sure know who the used Infiniti buyers are.

The current Infiniti lineup knocked everyone’s socks off - in 2003 when the FM platform first came out. Infiniti’s problem is that they have been rehashing the same cars over and over, and now they just can’t compete. I’m sure the new Infiniti Q25 “now with front wheel drive!” will be a huge hit. 

On the short, minimum fare trips which are about $8, the drivers earn $3, so yeah, more than 50% of the total fare. The problem with Uber and Lyft pricing is that while they pay a set time and mile rate to the drivers, they vary the fares to the passengers even when they don’t call it “surge.” So what Uber presents as

You may overestimate how much ride share drivers earn. On short trips Uber and Lyft already keep more than 1/2 the fare. They keep 100% of the booking fee, plus at least 25% of the fare - more if they can overcharge the unwitting passenger for the trip (which happens a lot). Uber and Lyft have posted time and mile

Knowing Uber, probably only 1/2

Hey, Tom, ever hear about just introducing yourself like a normal person? Could’ve easily figured out that they have an office in the building if you had been even slightly sociable.

People who trade in oil futures but never actually take delivery were about to get stuck with the physical oil, and had to unload these contracts TODAY. Today is the last day for the May oil futures contracts. If they’d kept these contracts, they’d be getting a phone call asking for a delivery address. So a panic sale.

CT4-V doesn’t sound any better

Is anyone really supposed to say “CT5-V Blackwing” out loud when describing their car? It doesn’t roll off the tongue smoothly at all. Instead of it coming out five vee, it just sounds like fivey. 

When you are selling something like a piece of furniture, you can’t really throw it in the trunk and bring it to the nearest wal-mart parking lot, lol

Yes, then there are the ones you think you’ve made a deal with, but the second you give up your address, they disappear.

If you want to throw a dealer an offer on a car, at least take a few minutes to go on the various car sites and see what the MSRP, is, what the invoice is, the rebates are, and whatever the “fair” price that sites suggests. That needs to be your baseline, not $5-10k less. Nothing more annoying to a car dealer that the

Eh, I’d say that with people spending so much more time at home, they’ve had a chance to look around and ask themselves “why do I still own that?” When you are stuck at home, eventually cleaning and organizing seems like a good idea.

I hate the black grill. It just looks like it’s missing the grill altogether.

Gas is still in the $1.80 range in my area. Perhaps because no one is driving, the gas stations aren’t refilling their tanks with the cheaper gas yet.

I think that after Dolores got shot in the first episode and almost died, she downgraded herself to a more mechanical body. if you look at her eyes in this episode you can lit rings turning around her iris’s, as if they are mechanically focusing. I didn’t notice anything like that in earlier episodes.

Because in 2020 America we can NEVER suggest personal responsibility as a solution to our problems. NEVER.
