Car dealers. Porn. Texas. Lies. Lawsuit.

None of this really matters since China is going to leapfrog the US in technology and everything else while the billionaires just circle-jerk and infight.

I think they missed a perfect cross-sponsorship opportunity here.

Why are you asking us all to reveal the answers to one of our internet account security questions?

My dad had basically that same truck in red. 4cyl/5-speed (or might have been a 4-speed). Lord, it was so much fun to zip around in. I’d love to have it even now.

Ok, so I just watched the video and I was wrong about lack of sunlight. But the realization that you’d literally start getting tunnel vision makes it even worse. In a few years it will probably be like something from “The Jerk” coming to life.

I won’t deny that I kind of like this car (and I’m in my 50s), but no way at that price.

Regarding the mail trucks — you’d think that with Elon’s influence and a peek out the window at that hugely effective fleet of Amazon electric vans all over the place that the Trump guys would at least realize that maybe electric really is the better way to go. But common sense hasn’t stopped them yet, so whatever.

Imagine the monotony and mental abuse you’d have to endure being a driver on that job — probably long hours, crap pay, and nothing but loud, annoying, self-absorbed convention goers — often drunk and obnoxious — making the same dumb comments and jokes over and over, every 5 minutes. Plus nothing but artificial light…

Don’t give them any ideas.

You’d have to be cuckoo to pay this price for a t-bird. Granted it’s clean and a great example of the generation, but it was aimed at 50 year olds back in 1989. Anyone feeling nostalgic for this thing is in a nursing home having his diapers changed.

I admit I don’t know that much about the questionable management allegations and all, but I do love the look of their products and do truly hope they make it to market. Their little bus is what the VW microbus should have been — relatively affordable, funky, roomy, and infinitely configurable for everyone from flower…

Actually, that’s a pretty good point. Nissan launched Infiniti and pretty much relegated Nissan to step-child status, and it’s never been the same since. It used to have some fun (if not great) cars like the Pulsar, the Hardbody trucks, the 240SX, the 300Z, the Maxima 4DSC, etc. Even the base and SE-R versions of the…

I’m thinking there’s a nice clean Subaru Forester or Honda CRV out there just waiting for you. 

This reminds me of that Mark Twain quote of “If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.”? I think something similar applies here.

Agreed; 95% of the parts you’d ever need for this thing are likely sitting on the shelf of an Autozone within a 5 mile radius of your house. And there are doubtless thousands “how-to repair a GM issue” videos on YouTube to break it all down.

Yup, here it comes... graft, kickbacks, shoddy work and labor practices that are cruel and unfair to workers. Send those non-union coal miners back underground for 10 hour shifts with no breaks, overtime or safety gear... fine by me; that’s what they voted for.

Exactly.

You've just summaries my use-case, too. 

Oh, hell no. At least yesterdays mini Mercedes wore its tuner-level badges legitimately. This thing is an absolute poser/faker/loser car, and it’s overpriced, too.
