I don’t know about $6,400. It’s clean and should have a lot of life left in it, but there is nothing remarkable about these cars beyond being big and inexpensive. In that way it’s a more modern iteration of the Malaise Era boats that had little going for them beyond their size. $5,000 is a more reasonable price to…

What’s missing from the data, however, is context. Fun colors are overwhelmingly found on the least and most expensive of cars, with a dearth of hues in mid-priced vehicles and downright monotone offerings for most luxury cars. Those luxury cars also often depreciate fastest, while budget-friendly cars like the Mirage…

Musk certainly doesn’t care if he burns out his workers. From his email about everybody needing to be in the office “at least” 40 hours a week, to pushing the factory workers to hit some output numbers that would only impact the money HE’S making, he’s clearly ready to burn his workforce out long-term for some…

Re Indian EVs, saw a bunch of these on my last trip there a couple of months ago. Makes so much sense in a city. It’s a Honda, and I think it’s called the U-GO. 

Fresh off of announcing he intends to lay off a tenth of all tesla employees (which was fresh off of a very obvious attempt to get them to quit so they wouldn’t be fired/paid unemployment), Musk expects them to work harder, knowing they could be laid off afterwards, or if the layoffs are already in progress, he…

And the smarmy VP of Sales would say something like:  If I have to do your job for you then I don’t need you.

Never before have I ever seen a CEO so hell-bent on destroying their own company. From turning off customers by revealing that they are more or less a MAGA idiot, fucking around and getting themselves in trouble with financial regulators, loudly proclaiming he has a “ bad feeling” and that he needs to lay off 10% of…

“So we need to rally hard to recover!”

I flew from Connecticut to Nebraska to get my Atacama Yellow Z4 35iS.

Damn! What snake bellied bastard crawled up under a Honda Fit for a catalytic converter?  Sorry about your bad luck but pretty sure the thief “earned” his bounty being that damn desperate!  

Why get another car at all, since you’re in NYC? Ride out this market on public transportation. Unless you live in furthest ends of Queens or Staten Island, you truly do not need your own wheels.

That rear side window aft of the c-pillar looks a mess. Wtf were they thinking? What’s with all the extra lines and black trim going no where? Man… it’s a train wreck.

My billing rate is a lot more than 10 bucks an hour. 

I cannot imagine trying to sleep on a sunny day at 2PM, just to be the driver for the 3AM shift.  I wouldn’t be able to do either.

There is no amount of money I wouldn’t sacrifice to not be on a bus for 42 hours. I would sell plasma before I took a bus ride that long. The last time I did that was because my choices to get to my location was either a 10k chartered heli, or a 12 hour mountain pass bus ride to my destination in the Himalayas. 

How is something like “blind spot detection and lane departure warnings” an option.  It’s standard on every Toyota and many other manufacturers. 

Yeah. The author is correct: this is the only car where the massive Lexus hourglass grille looks right.

If I had $100k laying around for car, this would be near the top of the list. Nori Green please.  Although that blue looks sharp too.  Or maybe an orange convertible. 

Here is my question then: If it was your dollar, would you rather buy this, or a C8 Corvette?

It’s a marvelous machine in a sea of mundane. Powertrain is superb.
