I’m trying to figure out why that white couple was even standing the engaged in a conversation about bumping into someone while walking out the door. You say “oh, excuse me” and keep on walking. I’d have been down the ramp and gone and that black lady could’ve jawboned me all she wanted.

The real question is are those truck images on your instrument panel your actual truck as built, or just a generic F150 crew cab?

Yeah, do they even know who the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th owners of BMWs actually are? Is the 4th owner who paid $6k for the car at the buy here pay here going to create an account and sign up for the heated seats?

Totally. Then it will be custom “exhaust” sounds and turn signal chimes. There are already millions of rubes paying for cellphone wallpaper and ringtones.

Why is it that the owners are always convincing everyone else what a great idea renting is?

The poor XTS wasn’t a real Cadillac either, but at least it sold well to it’s target market of old timers. 

Cadillac has one problem: it doesn’t make Cadillacs anymore. They are trying to compete car for car with the Germans, but it’s just not working. No one wants a compact 4 cylinder sedan from Cadillac. The CT4 is not even remotely what the average consumers mental image of a Cadillac is. Until they start making

Note to neighborhood busybodies: check your facts before you come out all hot and bothered.

That’s the ridiculous part, that having shredded cheese is the only way she CAN eat a fajitas. Like it’s otherwise repulsive or it’s physically impossible to eat without cheese. Every part of a fajita dinner is delicious. Easily eaten without cheese. 

Just in case you thought every white person was like Ken and Karen in St Louis, or like Central Park Karen - upper class racists assholes. White people can be low class trash too

Can he handcuff them together until they become friends?

Barefoot in the yard is not a great place to defend your home. Yeah, they might’ve got a couple shots off, but if the crowd rushed them they’d be on the ground quick. Then what? They should’ve been hanging out an upstairs window.

No. Many states actually require firearms safety courses before they sell you a pistol permit. But in most states pretty much anyone can buy a long gun if they pass the instant background check. 

She’s holding her pistol like her drink needs to be refilled. Looks like the first time either of them held those firearms.

These people started new Twitch channels in about 5 minutes. Their followers will be forced to join Twitch as well. I know it’s super hard to tap your phone screen a few times, but I think everyone affected will manage. This is pretty much nothing like real people losing real jobs.

Seems like a pretty straight forward negotiation: GM wants money to compensate it for what FCA did. GM should already have a number in mind and what’s the bottom they’d accept. No reason a CEO shouldn’t be able to negotiate that alone.

So is Mary Barra somehow afraid to be on her own in a negotiation without a team of lawyers behind her? 

good point

The real question is why didn’t they just move the gear selector somewhere else, like onto the dash? Seems like a rotary shifter on the dash would’ve been a simpler idea. But I assume that Ford truck buyers don’t like rotary shifters, so that’s why they didn’t do that.

I’m not making a racial comment. I was talking about how everyone these days is so self focused that they HAVE to win every dispute, and keep escalating until they do. But when you play that game against the police, then physical force gets involved.
