Between their response to this and the car thefts, I’m really happy I didn’t even bother trying to shop Kia/Hyundai for our last 2 purchases. Just doing a basic purchase at their dealer networks can be bad enough, but it doesn’t seem like corporate cares any more about their image. 

does the Charger EV cease to have a reason to exist?

My takeaway is that everyone who is actually buying a BEV truck is too busy buying a Rivian, while people who want to participate in surveys like talking about Tacomas. 

Because the last few elections have been totally boring with absolutely no events of historical consequence...I think most Americans will just be happy if election workers don’t get attacked or capital buildings ransacked. 

Biden’s green economy talk is a very new thing for him. The whole reason he was such a shoe-in for the Dem nom is because he has such a long centrist history, with multiple votes that go against all kinds of modern progressive ideas. People were/are terrified that someone any further left would lose to Trump again.…

They are also stuck in a place where they have to keep pushing it in their primaries to get on the ticket, but then dealing with the fallout in the general elections (at least on statewide votes). I don’t think they really expected the level of blowback they’ve gotten since it passed, which is why all of the new…

He looks primed to drive off in a Corvette.

Since Roe v Wade got overturned and everyone who cried fake votes lost their election/got sued into oblivion, it’s getting a bit harder to enrage the base. Waiting for the next turd that will stick to the wall.

If you’re able to get through the car seat years with the coupe, I’d figure it was easier to keep it that way.

This and the Saturn Sky are some of those cars I routinely forget existed until I see one and go “Hey! I forgot about those! It’s a near little cars and I’d probably enjoy one” and then promptly forget it again by the end of the day. A good friend of mine had a relative who loved their Sky too, just forgettable enough…

The type of hot girl that will ruin your life is the one in the cigarette car. 

Similar age, but I went to private school, so it was land rover, jetta, and recently off lease luxury cars. However, when I hung out with my city public school friends, this was pretty accurate, except for the truck. The truck was almost spot on for the country schools, but it was an S10.

I’m not even sure why Chrysler still exists, so it may simply be part of the (apparent) plan to kill off the whole brand. 

AWD wasn’t even standard. Mine was front wheel drive, but the incentives also brought it down to $17k new, which the price market they should have been competing in all along. It was great for the econobox box it was, but I couldn’t imagine hitting that starting MSRP of $30k for anything less than a Trailhawk version.

Wrecking his Ferrari

and that’s a welcome antidote to modern television

I will say that I genuinely hate the human side of the story for these films.

That sounds like dealers charging the ADM to place a reservation for a hot model. 

Almost every car company has been complaining about the 2nd hand market and even garbage companies like Ticketmaster haven’t tried auctioning high demand things. I would assume every one of them would have already tried it. My guess is that is why car companies do “special edition” vehicles with a limited production…

Reminds me of a quote I heard about life as a billionaire (more or less). Question: “What’s it like living as a billionaire?” Answer: “I can live as though everything is free. Houses, cars, restaurants, vacations, they are all free for me.”
