HooptieCon?

Is it wrong that every time you guys mention ‘patina’ my inner Rustoleum becomes enraged?

She can make a goddamn PB/banana/bacon sammich for herself. Lord knows I’m sick of them. Anyway, I’ve got these televisions that I need to shoot first.

People are lazy. They want the car right now and drive it home. Nobody wants to do any homework, nevermind, perish the thought, wait a while or travel to get the second or third most expensive purchase they will ever make.

Right after the truck driver farted his chipolte in your fresh off the trailer car.

You need to travel a lot more. It’s not even the worst city in New York state

Question: If this Type RA wing was truly functional and worked would it theoretically dent the trunk if functioned as a downforce apparatus?

remove the spare tire

How to make your regular STI weigh as much as the RA....remove the spare tire.

If anything, kudos to the companies who recall more often. That means they are willing to fix their mistakes rather than sweep them under the rug for the car owner to pay for down the line. ALL cars have flaws in them, they are far too complex to be 100% perfect.

I was going to write something sarcastic but the real issue with Tesla is planning and launch estimations. They simply believed that they could push technology out the way a Silicon Valley startup can. As we know, belief does not always translate into reality.

Recalls are honestly nothing to judge a manufacturer for. They’re part of doing business as a car manufacturer, and if Tesla ever gets its shit together they’ll actually be far less likely to get bitten by other companies when it comes to recalls. (See for example, Takata)

I’ve been saying for years that I like what Tesla is trying to do, but people don’t understand that buildings cars is Hard.

If Tesla goes under, I hope Toyota buys them. Toyota production numbers and quality control plus tesla innovation would provide for hundreds of thousands of these cars in short time

Ha, that would be something. I could just see Toyota walking around the NUMMI plant, shaking their heads and saying “Do you even know how many Corollas this place used to crank out?”

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Normally if they are offering credit like that, it’s an either/or situation with some other cash discount. So you need to compare with what they’ll offer if you don’t take the 0% and decide which is the better deal.

I dunno about a van, but I know a bus with a stripper pole you can get for cheap. The ladies will most likely just flock to it.

Hear, hear. I’m glad that my bad decision years were while I was still young enough to have time to learn from them and eventually watch the effects recede into the distance with time.

I think everyone needs, at least once in their life, to have bad credit and be forced to buy a car at a buy-here-pay-here joint. This experience will make you understand far better than any number of articles what it’s like to pay far too much for a POS car with no recourse if things go wrong.
