Man, for years my normal first two sites I opened rotation was Autoblog and Jalopnik. As you mentioned, there was a strong difference in the two blog styles that complimented each other very well and left us, the readership, with a wealth of information on all the goings on in the auto world.

Judging by the CTs I’ve seen in my city, it seriously only take a few weeks for it to look like said gas grille.

It doesn’t look exactly the same - the actual stainless steel finish looks like shit. The finish is inconsistent between panels, and they often develop a green or brown sort of scummy patina on them. There’s a Cybertruck in my city that I see every so often and the stainless steel finish in person looks godawful. It…

So, about two weeks then?

I love to spend $4,200 on making my car look exactly the same.

$4200 to wrap a vehicle that’s all flat panels. There are ZERO complex curves or body lines to follow. This is the automotive equivalent of wrapping a boxed birthday present.

She was technically here illegally.  Entering on a tourist visa and then getting a job without a work visa.

Well if Vance wants to get rid of legal immigrants too, I hope he starts with Moreno, who is an immigrant currently trying to steal and American job in the senate after stealing untold amounts of money from his car dealership employees.

He likely didn’t overstay his visa, he was an unlicensed driver but had a state issued ID. Most of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield are here under TPS visas. Locals are just incredibly xenophobic.

Hell, Trump’s wife was also an immigrant, though I suppose she demonstrated some “special skills” as a model and soft-porn actress to justify her visa. If there actually are millions of illegal immigrants in the US (they aren’t technically illegal if they are awaiting asylum hearing, but I digress) and they are…

The next step is they’ll say that the Haitians are killing and eating the kids on school buses. I know RFK Jr. had brain worms and I’m pretty damn sure Trump does, and if someone still supports Trump they also have brain worms.

So was Joseph here legally at the time? If so, do Vance and Trump still support Bernie Moreno for the senate even though he is also a legal immigrant while blasting immigrants for all of the nation’s problems??

Their autonomous taxi killed a women back in 2018 and they sold their Advanced Technologies Group to Aurora Innovation.

Insurance makes sense for a $100K contest, but I’m surprised a dealership that can afford a $15M donation would bother with insurance for a $5K prize.

I’m not talking about every situation. Just this particular one where it was so damn close, the kid was announced as winning, and the rules were not clearly explained to him.

Even if the insurance company wouldn’t cover it, they should have immediately chosen to take the hit and pay for it out of pocket.

The insurance company is the bad guy here, the dealerhsip is the GOOD GUY for once.  All of these are backed by insurance companies so the dealer took this out of their pocket to make it right.  The dealer should get nothing but good press for cleaning up after the insurnace company.

“a good way to make a little extra money on the side… in recent years changes at Uber have made it increasingly hard to make a living”

I will probably get some flak here, but it most likely was an insurance-based denial. Any of these contests that you see to win prizes (hole in one, kick a fg, make free throws, etc.), the sponsor company will get insurance for them. And it is really up to the insurance company to pay out the prize if it is won.
