Brakes that overcook after one stop from 60mph are what I call shit brakes.

Went to a Tesla showroom recently. Didn’t drive it, but sat in it and poked around a bit.
If they do move it Miami, they better make sure it has plenty of tight, hairy corners to entice drivers like Verstappen to dive-bomb their teammates and cause wrecks! That shit is entertaining.

People tend to either stop buying cars altogether or buy used cars during recessions. I haven’t seen data suggesting people shift to smaller, lower-cost models; high gas prices are the biggest factor there.
Sears responded to changing consumer preferences (e-commerce, specialty stores, Walmart/Target, etc.) in numerous ways explained by other posters, none of which were particularly successful. They were largely reactionary measures to stop the bleeding in absence of any long-term value proposition. I worry Ford is in…
Keep in mind that most value investors (at least in the Benjamin Graham or Warren Buffett sense) are on a multi-year time horizon, as it’s very difficult for a company to achieve the intrinsic value these investors are aiming for in the near term.
Yes and no. Many large investment funds do care about long-term results because they pursue a buy-and-hold strategy. Many mutual fund managers, for example, have raised serious concern about US companies’ under-investment and hoarding of cash.
Neutral - letting one’s management decisions be dictated by yearly or (much worse) quarterly earnings results and the resulting effects on stock price sounds nice, but is actually a pretty terrible way to run a company, at least long-term.
Someone refresh my memory here....but aren’t most of these unintended acceleration cases caused by idiot drivers hitting the gas instead of the brake while attempting to panic-stop?
I wonder if some those are just THAT cheap, or have that much patience. I’m not, and I don’t.
That’s how it works here in Richmond, VA, as well as in parts of DC. Overall it’s a good compromise.
The argument has two sides. Our infrastructure is significantly underfunded due to 1.) the gas tax staying flat since the early 1990s, and 2.) state/local budgets being increasingly consumed by healthcare and employee benefits/pension costs. OTOH, having worked around the government as a consultant, I can tell you…
This. I worked for a major global management consulting firm a few years ago. I saw salaries for my level across cities. People working in expensive cities (NYC, DC, LA, Bay area, etc.) made higher salaries than those in lower-cost cities (ATL, Dallas, Miami, Charlotte, etc.), but the adjustment was not enough to…
Seriously. I live in a dense urban neighborhood and have seen people (mostly local college students) straight up ramrod other cars, even when they had plenty of room to pull out. F@#$@ these disrespectful assholes.
That picture makes me think, “God bless the South, where we deal with that crap once a year at most”. Yet another reason I’m not moving further north.
Correct. Walking through Times Square makes me want to get mowed down by a taxicab after about 5 minutes. Almost everywhere else in Manhattan is A-OK (except around Xmas time).
There are only two hacks for the area around the Eiffel Tower:
Glad to hear he’s safe, but that Speciale:(
