Y’all are missing the point here. This is another case of the Chinese just stealing what they want, with complete disregard for rules, regulations, laws, or the environment, for that matter. They do the same with intellectual property, technologies, fisheries, and even wildlife for their stupid superstitious…

I love the New 500e and adored it on the streets of Berlin last summer. Living in Palm Springs it would be an ideal around town and valley car. Price will be important, but if it’s reasonable, I’m in.

Those guys would probably be willing to give their gravesites to help the living (since they gave their lives to begin with), *BUT* I suspect they would strongly object to having a bunch of pirates profiting from their gravesites to sell metals on a gray-market.

First / Neutral:

What happened with Bentley and Rolls-Royce is fascinating.

This makes me beyond angry. I saw a recent similar story on youtube the other day and one undercover reporter found that at one salvage yard they were cutting up scrap from a WW2 wreck and there were human remains entangled within. I cannot imagine if that had been one of my relatives who died on that ship only to…

Keep in mind, we (Canadians) have more earners in the income brackets that support these purchases; i.e. we make more for similar work, especially in the public sector. Our minimum wages are higher, our benefits are cheaper and cover more, and we have a better federal employment insurance system. The “free” healthcare…

“90's Ranger-size” doesn’t seem to be an option

It says something that, until I scrolled down, I actually believed that the cardboard cutout at the top was what he put on his yacht. Jeff is nothing if not classy.

I’m “that guy.” If the CEO wasn’t an unhinged genius who I have no intention of supporting financially or otherwise, I’d probably have a Tesla parked in my garage now, and if not I’d have ordered a Y at this fire sale price. It’s not like the class-leading infrastructure is going away, and I’d have this fancy high…

Fuck Mush.  I’m not giving him any of my money.

I love colors! 

I used to live near a pretty wealthy man who drove a Nissan Altima. He had a modest house. I later found out he owned 3 houses, in different countries. Retired at 45 after selling his business and was busy traveling the world and learning languages.

Thank you!

They also seem incredibly dangerous. I remember the article that came out when this latest design of GMC-brand SUVs started, where the writer had his child stand in front of a parked truck and you couldn’t see them over the hood.

Very few can afford to ford a fjord in their Ford.

Would I buy some of these in the abstract? Maybe. But at the moment, I grow less and less interest in supporting a dictator that’s trying to undermine democracy (we seem to be trying to destroy democracy well enough on our own, thank you). I’ve slowly made efforts to try to buy less Chinese manufactured items. I feel…

I have a hard time buying Chinese stuff period. In my industry, the Chinese have flat out stolen designs and screwed a lot of people out of their jobs as a result.

None and mostly because I don’t want to help support a government that persecutes its people in such a awful way. I know- most of the shit sold at stores is Chinese made. I try to find products made elsewhere ( Taiwan, Vietnam, the US, Mexico etc ) first. Just last week several men were arrested and given 18 year…
