I would not trust the dealership or the customer

I think the issue is that they said one thing, it didn’t get driven, when it was clearly a lie. I’d be pretty pissed off too. If they were like, yes we had to test the engine and drove it a bit, I’d be much less likely to argue about the 8 miles. Though 8 miles does seem a bit more than what’s needed.

“Violence isn’t the answer” etc etc

The gofundme should be for a lawyer. He should not have to pay without a judge telling him to. Corporate Americans make more costly mistakes all the time without the risk of personal bankruptcy. But a judge might see that differently, or maybe so. IANAL.

What’s your industry?  I think it’s bullcrap that the guy was fired for this.  Unless this was the straw that broke the camel’s back in a long line of mistakes, I think it’s too harsh.

When I was beater shopping I used to set the minimum price at $500 or $750 to weed out a lot of those. Didn’t work all the time but certainly helped a lot. 

Then your riding position is terrible. Every, and I mean e.v.e.r.y. XC racing bike I’ve owned in the past 20 years has had a front suspension. Lauf bikes is now making a suspension fork for its gravel bikes.

I don’t think anyone with any measure of intelligence is recommending ditching a perfectly good car for an expensive EV to save money. That argument comes in a little bit when comparing new cars when you’re ready to get one. Gas where I live is about $4.30/gallon right now. If I fill up once a week, that’s about…

I mean with gas prices right now most people would be saving about $200 a month right now or more.

It’s largely because these guys grew up listening to their dads and grandads joke about being bullying assholes and pulling stunts like this, and how the sheriff would give it a wink and a nod and do nothing, and it would just be a funny story to tell later.

1: Do asshole thing and show it for all to see.

An EV people claim is bad but is actually good is the Mini Cooper EV. People complain about the 110mi range yet the average american drives 50 miles a day and almost no one road trips in a mini cooper. they weigh around 3000lbs, do 0-60 in a respectable 6 seconds, and cost $30k. The reality is that most homes have one…

The GMC Hummer:

Tesla Model S. There, I said it.

Jalopnik has always been transportation, broseph. And being interested in cars doesn’t mean you have to be a fan of them in all cases.

Nah, I like Jalopnik. It’s all y’all complainers that should take a hike finally instead of whining in the comments of every article that offends your fee-fees.

I was always under the impression that you simply couldn’t open those passenger / emergency exist doors while the plane was in flight. Maybe the plastic cover of the door moved a couple inches, but I doubt the door itself did.

Send out checks to everyone—more money supply—so there’s less value. And we get inflation—only an idiot couldn’t see that effect coming.

i think it reflects poorly on Carvana in two respects. first, a big part of their marketing is that they thoroughly inspect their vehicles and don’t sell any with this kind of damage. they stress this because their business model makes it difficult to thoroughly inspect their cars before buying and impossible to take…

Half of the joy of driving an old car anyway is the old power train with the associated noises and smells (at least for me).
