I think some people like cars for other than financial reasons. Glad you feel the way you do. Some enthusiasts are ok spending money on their hobby, just like people loose money on rock climbing gear, tennis rackets and dogs, have you looked at the depreciation on dogs.

Yep. Frickin Kia and Hyundai were/are doing that with Stingers, Telluride's, and the like

Nah, this is just a dealer repudiating a contract. The situation you mention is not even close to the same. Here, you sign a contract for a car, and off to the order books it goes. Car comes in, dealer says “I’m altering our deal. Pray that I don’t alter it further.” You’ve already had the deal; the dealer is just…

Aint no car worth putting yourself in a worse financial situation than if you just said “no”.

I walked away from a deal over $100. We had an agreement on a Wednesday, I was going to borrow down payment money (I was awaiting a tax refund...just a family loan for a week or two) and would take ownership on Saturday. The car was being transferred from another dealer as they wanted a Forester and my dealer was…

This is 100% false. these markups are not nickle and dime for a big chain at all. they have scale so multiply that $5-10k extra profit for all of their allocations and its tons of money.

Making this into a “American car mfgrs” thing is bizarre.

This.

That Mike Levine tweet reminded me that I somehow got blocked by him on twitter (honestly not sure how as I never replied to him and like Ford products). After doing some searching around, it seems to be very common... so not sure how many potential Mach E customers he’s reaching with that offer.

I don’t know for certain who issued the DMCA challenge to the video; of course people are suggesting Tesla was behind it, but I don’t think Tesla would have copyright claims to a video they didn’t shoot.

I emailed CarMax, told them I was interested in a car, they brought it to me pulled behind a Mercedes Sprinter with a full office inside. I test drove it, agreed to buy, signed the paperwork inside the van (they never even set foot inside my house) and they drove away while I had a gently used 1 year old car in my…

Agreed. Took a plane to the next State to save $13k on a truck.  Two other vehicles I passed 4 different dealers  to get the deal and vehicle options I wanted. 

Ahem. I am aware of that. I didn’t talk about CBD having psychoactive properties itself but the effect the ratio of CBD to THC has. Please watch the study in this documentary that I based my original comment on (you will probably need a VPN):

Nah it’s a Dylan thing. Every Dylan I know had a dirt bike in high school and survived biblical accidents on it.

The type of high you get is dictated by the ration of THC to CBD. More CBD for a given amount of THC is a mellow high that gives you the giggles and munchies etc. Less CBD means more likely to get paranoid and unpleasant. Weed these days is typically “skunk” which is bred to have as much THC as possible which skews…

Not really a matter of opinion. A drug’s hardness is determined by the addictiveness, toxicity, and potency.

Not only that, this happened in Corvallis. The whole town is basically 4 square miles with full bus service, plus there’s a dispensary within walking distance from anywhere in town. And they do deliveries too. But I did LOL when I got the alert on NextDoor. Even more amused when all the “Why would they build such a…

This story makes me suspect that I was lied to as a kid. I thought potheads drove like this.

Remember folks, always wait until you get home and you’re settled in for the night before blazing up. Too much shit like this happens and it’s gonna be the death of freedom for potheads if it doesn’t stop immediately.
