1st Gear: Stellantis: White collar workers are 97% vaxed while the UAW self reports 50% vaxed?

I totally agree. The Challenger is not quite my jam either, but, they are very good at being exactly what their buyers want them to be, a big comfortable and fast GT car at a relatively modest price.

The Challenger definitely appeals to a lot of different demographics for a lot of reasons. My observation is based on what I see around here, which is no where near any military bases.

The thing with Challengers is the owners REALLY like them. It’s kind of the Tommy Bahama of cars.

The U.S. military definitely uses the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds as a key component of their public relations efforts. Having seen both of them on a few occasions, I’m all for their efforts.

Yes, keep them away because if they fly over a sporting event and you stare real hard at them while listening to the national anthem, you won’t be able to resist the urge to visit your local recruiting office the next morning.

C’mon, “inexperienced pilots” are not flying for the Royal Air force Acrobatic team, or in any other county’s military formations over major sporting events.

Here’s the “yeah, however”: Military pilots have to do so many training hours anyway, so they can either fly over some remote area, or, they can fly in front of thousands of people, look cool, and add to the pageantry of the race. 

1st. Gear. Autonomous driving is a nice party trick for the most part.

You sure about all that? 

If you ever get to Memphis, do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon at the National Civil Rights Museum.

So Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati are cool, though? Good to know.

“Luxury”, or at least luxury features, have been creeping downstream for years in cars we don’t really think of as particularly luxurious, hence the price increases.

I always think more along the lines of “spot the douchebag”, rather than “racist” which has devolved to become the new catch all label for *people we don’t like”.

Listen bitch, I pack my TruCoat on everything at $1595.00.

I’m struggling to grasp how where these two idiots worked has anything to do with the auto industry other than a weak assed attempt by Jalopnik to further their narrative that dealers = bad, or in this case, racist.

You misunderstand my point. No, I don’t think the dealer would knowingly hire a blatant racist.

So, the dealership rightfully fired these racist idiots.

Conceal carrier checking in. When I’m in my car, I have a loaded Colt Cobra, sitting 6 inches from my dominant hand.

Huh? Were you trying to respond to “VagueDreams” the potty mouth Starbucks employee, or me?
