One man is already prepared

Why are we talking about mystery taxes when the next to last paragraph says “retailing and distribution margins have increased”

Gas prices are expensive because the people who make and sell fuel are charging record prices for it.

Your repeated use of the word “tax” to describe something that not only isn’t a tax but isn’t even tangentially related to any government is, at best, shoddy journalism. At worst, it’s unethical shilling for the oil industry. Had you bothered to read your primary source, you would know that Borenstein is describing a…

Dude, you’re doing yeoman’s work for the oil companies here by calling it a tax, when it isn’t.

The city should really be working with a small business owner like this. They could store the vehicles in one of their impound lots for him. Charge a nominal fee for towing, paperwork and storage. Win-win. /s

As if selling Chrysler products wasn't enough of a scam already...

Maybe I’m just a small brained dummy, but I am 100% for anything that is within the letter of the rule book but outside the spirit of the rule itself. It’s how you get innovation and differentiation. Unfortunately, that type of innovation typically gets shot down when the rule book is changed to eliminate that…

Put another way, 1 in 20 Ram 2500 owners made bad decisions about drinking, but a full 20 in 20 made bad decisions about car purchases.

Hey Lawrence, I haven’t read your article yet, but I just wanted to say that I’m very happy to see you all back at the desk. This is the first Jalopnik article that I open. Congrats to you and your colleagues for making it through in rough times.

“For $2,000, you got a five-inch unit in a terrible position.”

The central argument of this article doesn’t hold up. If $36,000 is their current average cost, then their lowest cost vehicle could be thousands lower than that to build.

You did not analyze if Tesla could profitably sell a $25,000 car. You analyzed if Tesla could sell their average car today for $25,000.

“The average cost to build a Tesla being $36,000 seems fine when the cheapest model you can buy is $44,990.”

To be fair can F1 really ban a country from flying their military over a racetrack

Yeah, to me there’s a very large difference between hypermiling where you are going slower than the average speed of the traffic around you (40 in a 70), and hypermiling in bumper-to-bumper traffic. When I used to commute every day, on my way home it was common to have traffic come to a stop (or nearly a stop), then…

Is cruising slow in stop-and-go traffic to absorb the shockwaves a dick move now? That’s how I drive, as well as people in manual cars, and after about 10 minutes people will catch on and everything’s moving better 

Kia Stinger.

WRX hatch would be the answer here, but Subaru forgot how to make those.

All rational recommendations. What’s happening at Jalopnik?!?

I can’t fault the core logic.
