Word. There’s shit I will buy online, and there’s shit I’ll absolutely, under no circumstances, buy online, and car is waaaaaay to big a ticket item to buy online. 

If you are going to talk 70's trucks, you got to show the best of the bunch...

Really? Seems that discussion is occurring all the time...
Surely the years worth of arguing over how big the $1T infrastructure bill should be included these very arguments.

My case to go downtown by car: 30 minutes; by public transport: 1h45, not talking when it is -20 in Winter. My choice is made, free or not, car.

Truth in labeling, it’s taxpayer funded transit, not free transit. Those busses and trains run on money, and it comes from somewhere. Subsidizing poor people’s rides to work is a public good but be honest about who pays

Dealers have obviously pulled worse shit than this (and I’m sure direct to consumer sales stores have and will in the future too), but there is something to be said about being able to walk your ass into an actual building and talk to someone face to face about an issue.

Trick question!

There are fewer and fewer race tracks with each passing year.

Civil Asset Forfeiture isn’t a good thing when it’s used against people who have not committed a crime.  When it’s used against criminals it’s a wonderful thing.

You know they are in their forums complaining about how they are the victims here. So much caps lock.

I know you know that those are two different scenarios.

“Mercury everything - Ford Everything”

If Ford met the NHTSA rollover requirement at the time the truck was built, the lawsuit is 100% bullshit.

They’ve sunk their entire R&D budget into electric. But they need something before the fruits of those efforts come out. Dodge is a “sporty” brand, and everyone loves ‘em some CUVs, and so...

Oh, Imma @ you, because that comparison, based on interior parts, is wild af.

Man, does everyone forget:

Imagine being THAT detached from reality.

I don’t get the internal strife. You work for a large auto manufacturing concern. It’s not like Alfa created the Tonale without using Stellantis support. Engineering, parts, money, manufacturing... What percentage of the tonale is Stellantis corporate? More than a little. I get that Alfa needed a win, but Dodge needed…

Someone could slap Alfa badges on a 90's Lexus LS400 and idiots would still be frothing about how poorly built and unreliable they are. It’s the same amoeba cell mentality that underpins racism and cultural stereotypes.

Turns out Americans would rather own something they can buy and get serviced at their local Dodge dealer as opposed to trying to find an Alfa dealer within driving radius that will still be open in 5 years. It doesn’t matter how nice this car is, if the only way you could get one in the US is by going to an Alfa…
