Why is this an article on The Root? “There’s no telling if this Karen would have received the same treatment (if she were black).” - that’s it? There’s no real stories about actual black people being treated unfairly anymore?

Tell me you’re talking out of your ass without telling me you’re talking out of your ass. Based on the 2023 Cars.com American Made Index, out of 388 vehicles vetted, the Wrangler is 25th most American vehicle and #3 most American vehicle by a non-Tesla domestic automaker behind only the Corvette and Durango. (and 19th…

I’m not on BaT as often as C&B, but they seem to cater to the more well heeled car guy. Either way, C&B was built on Doug’s personality and everyman-ness. Like they say, when something’s free, you’re the product. 

He’s also ruining the market for affordable enthusiast cars. I still watch most of his videos because they give comprehensive reviews of the cars, but it’s not just a regular guy nerding out on cars. C&B is a place for rich dudes to flip allocated EVs, whose market is softening. Meanwhile, Doug wets his beak on every…

“Thiiiiiis, is me ruining the warranty policy for Carmax customers.”

I think Doug DeMuro was singlehandedly responsible for CarMax changing their warranty policies. This couldn’t happen today.

The thing I hat, and this really grind my gears. Is people buying cars with no intention to keep them and just to sell them. I can’t say how many times I’ve gone through the auction sites and seen new cars with less than one tanks worth of mileage on them being sold (I remember there was a huge craze back with the…

That is not even close to being accurate.  He made the offer, waived due diligence, sale closed.  Tough shit.

Elon Musk decided to buy Twitter. He did this on his own and unprompted. He made an offer. He signed a contract of his own free will.

No one forced him to enter a legally-binding agreement to purchase Twitter at a dramatic overvalue of his own making.  He was forced to adhere to the legally-binding agreement that he’d entered into of his own free will, that’s true.

So you say since 2005 but then say his license was revoked in 2015. Which one is it?

Potentially unpopular opinion: Put huge tariffs on their cars or give them the “chicken tax” treatment. China itself puts massive tariffs on our exports, cars included. So its only fair to do the same. I will fully admit I am a hypocrite seeing as how I buy a lot of Chinese made things, which these days is unavoidable…

China’s basically the epitome of “copy my homework but change the answers a bit”. Not saying there’s no original ideas over there, but when you have the source code, it’s pretty easy to duplicate and make it your own. Couple that with owning lithium mines and vast amount of lower classed workers that get paid dismal…

I guess industrial espionage and acquisitions have some benefits when you have a vast and diverse domestic manufacturing base to execute plans with in place already.

How do you review a car and not know it’s a diesel?

Creating brand new reef structures on the other hand...

First off, why are we paying to maintain them if they have a crew provided under the insurance? Really, we seized them to screw over those in power back in Russia, just let them freaking rust and rot tied up somewhere and hand over the remains if that time comes or auction them off whenever enough time has passed. The…

Freedom isn’t free. Screw the Russkies.

Well, it shows that they were aware of what’s going on.  Can’t claim you didn’t know what was going on if you like the post.

No one in this story seems particularly likable...
