The corporate ownership saga of the last 10+ years is messy for sure. But other than Spyker, none were really automotive companies that would get confusing on this chart. There’s definitely more Saabs running around than Yugos or Triumphs. Likely more Saabs than Fisker/Karma as well.

Oh well.  Imperfect data is…

Edit - nevermind. I see Geely has their own callout. My bad.

I guess SAAB is totally in “Other”? Bummer they don’t even warrant their own callout anymore.

I had a science teacher in high school (who drove a 93 RX7) that named his dog Shelby. I regret not staying in touch with this dude.

As a kid, one of my hamsters was named Lola

Yah, this is what I was thinking too. You’d basically have to have the bad luck of a cop right behind you in traffic or at a stop light. And fully agree...pretty soon AI will tighten this up. I was thinking that on Amber Alerts and similar activity. Sometimes they don’t know the plate, but they know it’s a gray 2015-20…

That’s my bad. I really should have qualified not a regular sitcom gig. I can’t say for Makin It, but voiceover work on Duncanville isn’t a massive scheduling hurdle. That was really my point — scheduling wouldn’t be as hard for her.

I love Amy P...it wasn’t meant as a knock on her at all. Just she’s somebody in…

Good point! I wonder if it would flag something like “this plate is for a Camry, but it’s on a F150". Or would it take the cop to realize.
Either way, it does make things tough! If/when I do a private party deal in the future, I’ll see if we can meet up at BMV/title office. That makes weekends harder, but it is safer…

I do the musical plate thing if it cannot be avoided.  My thinking is purely seeing *a* plate will satisfy 80% of the time.  It’d only be upon closer inspection/running the plate that it would come up as an issue.  It’s still a gamble for sure.

That’s awesome.  

I worked at a commercial insurance company for a while earlier in my career.  My office was next to one of the guys in charge of accident CSI or recreating.  He referred to sides of truck as KILL ZONE.  I had danger zone in my head from driver’s ed, but definitely have used the upgraded version since then!

For sure.  That is probably the biggest hurdle.  Who would be willing to drop nearly everything else to focus on SNL?  

Yah - I should have qualified it as regular acting like Parks & Rec or even frequent movies.  Her producing activity would certainly be good experience!

Keenan or Tina Fey have got to be the two most likely candidates right?  I guess Amy P is possible too since she doesn’t seem to be doing *that* much at the moment.  [not a knock on her career, just saying isn’t in a regular gig]

Forget Pesto...get Mr (sorry, Rev. Dr.) Yates regardless!

Exactly. *That* is the proper advice to give people with AWD. While you may get up to speed quickly & more easily, stopping (and to some extent turning) isn’t going to be any better just since you have AWD.

some variation of “do whatever you want, you have AWD”

Living in snow belt of Cleveland, the number of people with 4x4 or AWD trucks and SUVs that don’t alter their driving style AT ALL in the bad weather blows me away.  Many of them seem to drive *more* aggressive since us plebs in FWD cars are going a sane speed and…

The scene in the realty office killed me.  That was just amazing.

AC just needs a recharge.

(you can jump into the fire.....)

Interesting -- I’ve had AAA take my van to the shop twice over the years when it needed work.  One time I got it out of the garage on my own (brakes messed up, but enough to get it into the driveway) and another the tow driver helped me push & winch it out (side entry garage).  He never batted an eye at it.
