I would like to see the household income demographics of the buyers whose cost data went into this study. It will be interesting to see if there is any sort of correlation or causation between income and car purchase prices but I am sure all of us will not be surprised to see that prices are going up way quicker than…

Even if he is an engineer, he’s a really bad one. Guy thinks a high-level architecture review is a code review. Thinks that more lines of code submitted = more gooder developer. At least he’s good at fooling people.

Sold the last of my TSLA stock yesterday. Sure I missed the peak but it was a 382% gain overall so I’ll take it, especially for a buy I made on a whim at the start of 2020. I lost faith in that stock a while ago, just needed a push to exit.

regardless if you think it is good or bad price, can we applaud the person who was able to keep that vehicle looking that good driving around New Orleans? The city that has such bad drivers they just said, “fuck it, if you cant act right no more left hand turns. You will have to drive up half a block and make a u turn…

Musk / Tesla / Twitter:

In six months Teslas have gone from status symbols to the automotive equivalent of MAGA hats. It’s astonishing; I’ve never seen any brand lose so much goodwill for such a stupid reason before. 

If you’re going to spend ultra-money on a rare car, you want the unwashed masses appreciating what you blew a fortune on. Such a old Ferrari or Duesenberg. But since no one knows about this thing, no one will care. ND.

The Maverick is the old S10 in spirit. It’s simple, cheap truck transportation, and it can tow well over 1000 lbs and a full sheet of plywood. Yeah, it’s huge by comparison, but that’s because a modern vehicle needs to do it all to be successful today.

No. Don’t be an auditor. I hate clients who think they know the law and come to me when they’ve been violated. More often than not, they have shitty cases because they’re shitty people that don’t present well in Court.

I’ve watched that channel and it is informative, but I wouldn't talk or react to the police like some of them do. Remember, they have an absolute, unquestionable license to kill, and some of them are eager to use it.

But watching some (most) of those vides is scary as fuck.

Does your Capri look like my old one pictured here back in 1983? I added the Rally Cat stripes to it.

Yeah if the service has a stream of new content I can see paying for it. But seats are heated or not heated, there is no reason to pay over and over for an unchanging feature.

Paying subscription prices for cloud-based or other external services doesn’t bother me. Sirius already costs $X/month. If you want to charge for OnStar, or for some other ongoing service that has recurring expenses, fine.

I don’t want this car... I NEED this car.

Again, you're completely missing the point.

And if you’re speaking to someone from Taiwan, it’s best to refer to them as Taiwanese, not Chinese in the sense of being part of mainland China. 

It’s been almost three decades that I moved from Germany to the US, so things may have changed in a way I haven’t registered in the years since. But back then, Germany was very particular about type certification. That froze specs in place - and doing anything akin to tuning that had impact on one of the certified…

Completely speculation, but maybe one of our European friends can offer some input. I think some European countries (not sure about the Netherlands, but based on old episodes of Top Gear it seems like in pre-Brexit England anyway) class vehicles for registration and insurance by engine size or power output (since you…

To be clear, Foxconn is a Taiwanese company. While that's technically China, it can be confusing to describe them as a Chinese company when usually that refers to companies headquartered in and owned by mainland chinese nationals.
