Weight difference is only 73 pounds?

Don’t even think about telling me, you stupid son if a bitch, what portion of my income I must surrender to fund your choices. Nothing is free, you arrogant asshole.

That was the cost of the hub assy alone, at the time, before any labor was included. A hub assy that should not have needed replacement on a 40k mile truck. If I had double that mileage, I probably wouldn’t have been so pissed off. The piece of shit truck I owned had over $4000 worth of warranty work done to it in the…

aThis X1000. I think there’s a lot of folks that fail to realize how normalized corruption is in that market. It’s really nearly a requirement for doing business in Japan.

Yeah, fuck Nissan, with a hot poker.

I really, really thought he was fucking with us, and was going to roll out the real deal at the end, but nope...just some half-ass electric quad.

It wasn’t just the problems with the truck. After, relatively politely, explaining my displeasure after only driving the truck for a handful of days for my first month of ownership, the owner of the dealership told me, “Look, buddy, we don’t build them, we just sell them. What do you want us to do.”

Yeah, I took a bath on the trade, but I wanted it fucking gone.  Seriously considered torching it after getting turned away from the fourth dealer after they told me they weren't interested in my business, and I couldn't, in good conscience, sell it to another private party.

I guess it wasn’t bad starting the second month I owned after the cats got sorted. So, from about 33k miles to 41k miles, when the first front wheel bearing went, the truck pretty decent. Got a lot of compliments on its looks, at the time the body style was fairly new.

Tell me this is a sarcastic response to Torch.

I bought one used from a Nissan dealer with 30k miles in it over a decade ago, and put 30k on it. It was the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Needed a new front wheel bearing (full hub assy, it was like a $500 part, if I recall correctly) at 40k miles, and the other front at 50k miles. But before that happened the…

It’s a rather silly trilogy of five books, but there is some surprisingly relevant material in them. I highly recommend the entire series.

Woof. Not Bertone’s best work.

How do you forget something like that? It’s not like you forgot if you bought that $20 DVD of rented it from Redbox, it’s a thirty fucking seven thousand dollar expenditure.

How does one not know whether he leased or purchased a $37,000 vehicle?

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso…

I have thought about how they play out in the future. With Musk at the helm, I don’t see any of these entities being stable, reliable, profitable companies. They have potential, but with an outspoken, narcissistic, volitile, sociopath running shit, I just don't see long term investments panning out.

Tesla’s valuation makes no sense. I understand the possibility of growth, but they are hardly a startup anymore and have barely managed a profitable quarter in its entire existence. A good chunk of their revenue is from, as I understand it, selling carbon credits, a revenue stream that is likely to dry up as…
