So far, we have the “best vehicles to make an Uber driver broke”.

Hahaha

I did. Sorry you’re butthurt. :)

Damn skippy. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He took the gamble knowing this was a predictable result, and he shouldn’t get butthurt about the delay he brought on.

This isn’t Amazon. There are very good reasons for 30-45 days supply being the optimal target - here’s just a few of many: You can’t ship a car by UPS, and dealers need to stock a wide enough variety of units and options on each model to make sufficient sales in between carrier deliveries. Cars go by rail from…

IMHO, I think the Prius has sold well for years specifically because it doesn’t blend in; it appeals to a large segment of people who want to signal to everyone else that they are being virtuous, while requiring no real sacrifice compared to another plain vanilla conventional car. They’re nicknamed the “Pious” for a…

Priuses sell well, and they’ve always screamed “I am an electric econobox”.

Don’t sugar coat it, tell us how you *really* feel

FireAero trikes, gen 1and gen 2. I owned the blue one, many years ago.

Non Union auto plant pay and benefits are as high as they are - typically well above average local manufacturing pay scales - because of union assembly plant wages and benefits. If the union jobs and pay scales went away, you can bet that those nonunion plants pay scales would drop back to whatever the lower local…

You should see the Aprilia Scarabeo scooters we sold the NYPD about 10 years ago. They became marked units.

California has no state safety inspection. Of all the places I’ve lived, I’ve never seen so many completely bald tires - like, slicks or corded - as I’ve seen here. Mostly when I lived in Southern California, but also here in the Bay Area too. Also, cars with different size tires on each corner, totally useless old…

You’re not wrong - I bought a 1964 VW split window pickup in Lubbock and drove it to LA, then to philly. Anything that tops out at 61 mph, rpm limited across west Texas is either a slow death (boredom) or a sudden one (getting rear ended by a King Ranch dually pulling a 12,000 lb trailer at 85). This 2cv is much more…

This is a near- perfect Conch Cruiser for winters in the Keys.

Hey, for once it wasn’t a fuckin’ Camry.

I can only speak for us, but mom bought a Mazda 3 new in 2007, and didn’t buy another 3 because ours was too fragile for average potholed northeastern roads. In just pothole damage- over 60,000 miles it went through 12 tires, two wheels, two front wheel bearings, a pair of rear shocks that failed completely by 25k,…

The husband is a pastor at a local church and they’re in their late 20s, a Prius seems like a totally normal choice to me.

And seriously, 18 GW fully supplies about 12.6 million houses and is same as nine new nuclear plants like Indian Point, which serves 1.4 million houses by itself. “Not a lot of power”, my ass.
