Are mechanics running into the same age gap issue that most trades have been dealing with for a while now? A lot of 55+ with eyes on retirement and not a lot of people available to back fill? 

there’s more than one...

I usually take that argument as telling people to buy a cheaper car and get winter tires for it instead of feeling like they have to spend the extra money on an AWD car.

Most local group use international standards as the base for their rules. It is much easier for a club or state athletics association to take something like these rules or the Olympic rules and then modify them as needed. A bunch of US states are already pushing laws to ban trans athletes, so this makes for an easy…

This looks like it would be a great resto-mod project. Not special enough to care about originality, but still looks good and has a solid body. That said, not sure about going almost $10k in on a malaise era GM car. 

I may have confused the Panda with the 500L that was sold here. 

The USA mostly has a Fiat Panda, we just call it a Jeep Renegade here. 

There’s a major multi-decade movie franchise built around Japanese tuner cars racing in the streets (and FAMILY).

Domino’s has been a big hit with millennials, which surprised me a little, as there is nothing hip about Domino’s.

It would probably be a lot easier to stomach if Ford wasn’t also bleeding money on recalls. 

Money and childcare are also the 2 big reasons that stop people from getting divorced. I bet divorce rates would be closer to 75% if everyone could afford to live on their own.

I assume a profit is being made on every line-item cost to everything I buy. No business charges what they need to survive, they charge what they think you are willing to pay. I just wish it was part of the advertised MSRP. They know where everything is being shipped, have already averaged the costs to determine what…

I would think you’re better off just using the batteries as extra capacity and then keep the regen breaking. That should remove a lot of complexity (ie cost) and the safety concerns of amateur drivers having power behind the hitch.

They’re good for people who work from their cars, in general. The driver seat is quite annoying to operate a laptop or write things down.

1st - The top executives at Carvana already cashed out a bunch of shares last year when the stock was high. While I’m sure they’d like even more money, tanking the stock and walking away isn’t the problem for them that we would like it to be. 

I would assume that anyone actively turning off their seatbelt warning would also prefer that the object be gun shaped (along with most other accessories in their life). They are also likely to desire a bottle opener in their car. It really is a complete product for that well-regulated militia driving around. 

Waivers are applied for by the people funding the actual build, not the companies supplying the physical parts (I am assuming this program is similar to the Buy America program that has been in place for roadway infrastructure since Obama). That could be a very convoluted process about who’s legally responsible for…

They are likely concerned with the primary issue of the Buy America components - it can be really really hard to find them and get them on site in time, even if you can ignore the added costs. Arguably, we are better off long term by continuing to enforce BA as strictly as usually, as that should incentivize more…

I’m guessing that it is because of the price point, but Corvette seems to be the only brand that gets away with the idea of a “supercar” you’re supposed to DD, while cars the NSX, i8, & R8 all get knocked for not being more supercar like a Ferrari.

Too bad they can’t save us from their dealer network.
