Really depends. A single dude (or lady) making that much money could afford such a car if their other expenses are in line and the car is a priority for them. Cheap apartment/mortgage, no kids, no expensive hobbies? $75k/yr could easily get you a Caddy if you’re OK with a loan especially if you’ve saved enough for a…

You’re spot on, and Lincoln has kinda gone back to the more ostentatious American luxury idea and it seems to be working. They haven’t turned it up to 11 though.

Agreed. Certain types of vehicles benefit from manual transmissions, I don’t think A->B commuters necessarily fall into that class. And that’s what Caddies are meant to be, really nice A->B commuters.

Yeah, maybe $10 worth of DQ is a different ask than a massive spike in taxation to pay for those things.

This.

Which is exactly the opposite of what they should be doing.

Thats kinda my point. The Confederacy is an easy one and one not many people have to expend much thought or energy on.

This was always your destiny, David.

Could be that he’s been in an echo chamber for a while. If you surround yourself with people who agree with you all the time you might not realize that the rest of the world doesn’t agree with you.

Much of Chinese history is every bit as brutal and inhumane as the Confederacy was. That they were able to do it for nearly a millennia doesn’t really get them much credit in my book.

I guess it depends how you define “sleeper”, I don’t think any stock car qualifies. I always defined it as “looks like normal car, MUCH faster than normal car”.

Yeah, my comment was mostly just me being frustrated at the virtue signaling. Banning the Confederate flag is easy. The Chinese flag isn’t nearly as easy, but if a company actually has morals instead of just virtue signaling you do the hard things as well as the easy ones.

I don’t think there are many “limits of the human body” type things where I can best John Cena, but that was before I knew how many empanadas he can eat.

I’m curious if the Chinese flag is still allowed.

Tesla’s paint quality is so bad that it’s probably difficult to establish whether it was a shoddy repair that led to differences in paint thickness or whether your car being painted in a tent in a parking lot caused it.

So they removed the Impromptu Convertible option without compensating him? Typical Tesla playing games with features after sale.

Same.

This.

I’m guessing all their safety ratings are null and void if they do this. Have to be tested with the equipment you plan on delivering to the customer.

He said in another comment that he’s putting a Green New Deal sticker on it after it gets wrapped. The man doesn’t know the meaning of “subtlety”.
