Same. 

The conversion is $39,995, and that’s on top of the truck itself.

...it’s not selling because it’s not worth anything near what you still owe on it and you just don’t get that.

Not necessarily. The big hang-up is that not too many people have more than $20k cash sitting around. So if you are selling a near new used car -there just won’t be too many takers, even if your price is on target.

Big Old’s 98's and Buick Electra’s did a great job with that button-tufty velour kind of interior. But I still think nobody could do a bordello red interior like Chrysler. Google a late 80's Fifth Avenue. Relatively compact M-body, but they had amazingly thick carpeting, deep seats with a million buttons. I wish…

Yeah, but in the early 1990s if you saved your lawn mowing money and looked right you could pick up a nice Monte SS, Olds 442, Grand Prix LE, or Buford with a 307 and lots of life left for $3,500 max and fly under the insurance radar. And Edlebrock catalog and shop teacher willing to tell you what to do could make…

Well, that defeats the purpose of me wasting time at work.

And people wonder why trucks are so popular right now...

Nothing better than seats that are hard as rocks, narrow, over-bolstered, and a massive center console to store all your trash in.

Bench seats. Column shift. Throw your trash out. Get off my lawn.

God damn do I miss roomy interiors like that. “sporty” can suck an egg.

I cannot applaud you enough for shopping for a fun convertible and having the good sense to say no to a Miata, the pumpkin spice latte of convertibles

you can get a croissant for $7.00

nothing ruins a trolls day more than a friendly gesture. i reluctantly accept your fist bump. (notices the golden fist is made form nazi boullion) 

More like J Swerve amirite?

FIFY!

Isn’t this pretty common for IPOs though? Major investors and others are able to get in way below the IPO price point and sell off for immediate profit, the stock drops, settles, then over time rises if the company is actually functional.

This is far from the truth. If there was a cross-platform standard in place - or some centralized system - that allowed GPSes to share their intentions then traffic can be strategically routed to different areas in order to decrease congestion and overall travel time. E.g. it’s rush-hour and people are leaving the…

Unfortunately your point about the drivers doesn’t really track. Neither service screens for personality, and many if not most drivers work for both companies. Your pool of data (two rides) isn’t nearly big enough to generalize about an entire company.

This IPO and it’s complete razzle-dazzle roadshow to obfuscate the lack of legitimate financials should be very reminiscent to those of us old enough to fully recall the dot.com bubble environment of 1999 to 2001.

If the idea of a corporation bluffing and bullshitting about its “wokeness” on the way to billions of dollars is shocking to you, I strongly recommend you not look too closely at the politicians who do the same. It’s just one more flavor of koolaid to give the masses while shaking them down for money. The concepts are…
