If you drive in Doral, FL close to Miami International Airport, there are dozens of lots full of crashed US cars heading to their new homes in South America and the Caribbean.

The robots building them don’t know where in the world they’re at.

I already see Argo self driving cars pretty regularly in Miami - but on surface streets at low speed.  I’m terrified to see them at high speed on the highway.

On any other card, I’d agree with you. But my Discover is literally only used for 5% categories in person - meaning gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants during relevant periods.

Funny this was written, I literally just went through this with Discover. I only use it for 5% categories (right now, it’s gas stations), so guess which card suddenly had random $100 transactions appearing on it from gas stations and pharmacies I’d never been to....

It’s cool, but not $40k cool.

The US never got this generation of the A3...

It’s Ford. That $20k car will be $15-16k after incentives.

I’m actually Uberdiamond... not because I use Uber a lot, but because we order a lot of food through Ubereats at my office due to some labor intensive projects recently, which I pay for and expense.

Damn. $23k for new and unsold 2017s. That is a lot of car for the money.

An odd situation, but in PR (still US for purposes of this), AAA is horrible, and the local competition that’s better won’t offer roadside on cars that are 10 years or older, and have over 100k miles.

In Miami, this thing. Marlins Park - the taxpayers were fleeced out of over $1 billion for this hunk of crap.

This inspired me to look at minor league caps.... and I ended up buying some.  Whoops!

Third question. This happened to me at a Mazda dealer not long ago on a used 2017 CX5.  They offered me a sizable discount on a new 2019, but nothing that was as good of a deal, so I said thanks but no thanks and walked away.

I do work in the industry (and even so I was in shock), so I spoke with my colleagues.

The reason is that the rarity of the car means parts are harder to come by and claims will be more expensive and take longer to settle.

I nearly bought one as a daily last week, until I got a quote to insure it. Great GREAT fucking car though.

I’m the Miami resident who apologized.

I had a Mazda6 grand touring loaner over the weekend. Other than a little bit more road noise, all I could think was “why would anyone buy a BMW over this?”.

I’d pay approximately $11k to ship a refrigerated container full of beer from California to San Juan, PR, $7-8k from Houston or Pennsauken, NJ, and $5-6k from Jacksonville. That was door to door, and included fuel at the port of San Juan to keep it refrigerated.

Neutral: Twingo Hellcat please.
