What it’s got going in its favor:

I don’t know of a single bell that ticks.

I don’t see their views all that differently. I think Farley’s worry about referring to them as transitional vehicles is mainly to prevent mediocre products from being built. Just as much effort should be put into making great hybrids as they’ve been putting into creating great EVs. Looking at them as “transitional”…

Honestly, I’m excited to see how this plays out because either way means lower emissions. And isn’t it nice to see the American auto industry trying to figure out what’s more efficient rather than how to make trucks bigger? (I KNOW, they’re still gonna make trucks bigger. )

Incoming Pedantry: Big Ben is the name of the largest bell in the tower’s bell-house, not the tower itself. The tower was called the Clock Tower. It was renamed to Elizabeth Tower in 2012.

Less.

This has nothing to do with those. This is not an automated seatbelt, it is simply an arm that extends to push the seatbelt to where you can easily reach it to grab it and manually fasten it around you. BMW has had the same on much more modern coupes, and I assume Mercedes still does this as well on thiers. I would be…

I now have an S 550 Coupe. Those seatbelt presenters sure do help. I’m glad they’ve improved upon them in the intervening several decades, because the new ones are much better.

The one and only thing I actually did not like about my 93 VR6 Corrado was those stupid seat belts.

Two versions of these little helpers - the Straglematic you encountered and the door-mounted Ejectomatic that, if the door opened in a crash, would leave the occupant unsecured and ready to be tossed out. 

I hated those motorized mice in cars back in the day. I lived with those for years. One needed to open the door slowly and wait, if you rushed out of your car you risked strangulation. 

My dad had a vehicle where there’s a rail that comes up over your shoulder when the engine was turned off. He was the driver for 99.9% of all trips. Then we took a road trip.

We stopped at a convenience store and he wanted me to drive. He was holding a Big Gulp full of orange soda...in his right hand. I turned the car…

I think a lot may depend on how the big funds vote the shares and I would have to think that they are not amenable to a “retroactive” Musk pay-day. It might have made more sense for those funds to vote for Musk when it required him to achieve a targeted share price — “Hey, if the stock goes up, we win even if we have…

It is (but probably shouldn’t be) astonishing to me what is happening with the billionaire class in the US right now. Economic inequality is the highest it’s been since before the Great Depression, we have a guy running for president who wants to INCREASE that inequality, and he is considering appointing a billionaire…

They voted yes the last time, but a court overturned the result, because the board mislead investors and were in the bag for Musk, as the court ruled.

Maybe it's 3 mil CAD?

I don’t see where this $3,000,000 is located. 16 cars for $3M would be $187,500. I don’t even see a single car worth that much. It’s like they are using fake drug pricing for cars now.

You sure it’s not a Corvette by Lincoln?

approximately 450 kilometers (280 miles) east of Lambton County

C1 Corvette. Not MK1. It’s not a fucking VW
