Seems like a pretty slick weekend toy hauler. I’ll take it.

77.1%, according to the US Census.

77.1% of Americans are white. By these numbers, Uber is clearly discriminating against Caucasians.

I trust my kids more than I trust automated Ubers.

Yes, and when they’re smoking weed behind McDonalds, all they have to do is put the car in drive with the emergency brake on, and you can’t get ahold of them....

Symbolic, at best. There will always be an option to say that you’re a passenger. “Just disable that”, you say. Oh, you silly person. Apple will get sued into oblivion the first time someone gets kidnapped and thrown in a trunk, but can’t call 911.

Crumple zones = legs.

Why does this thing get such lousy gas mileage? I can get 36 in a VW Passat with several full grown adult passengers and assorted luggagey things.

There is a top limit here in Texas for car loans, but I think it’s something like 27%. Above that is considered usury, which is illegal.

You forgot to factor in risk, which makes it a very primitive financial model.

Tote the note lots will do it. I used to work for a company that manufactured software for that industry. You would be amazed at how bad these loans can be. 9 year old Civic with 135k miles? That’s a $12k car, at 21% interest. These people don’t make money selling cars, they make money on repo.

Neutral: Never forget - half the population has an IQ under 100. For every coherent person, there is an idiot going 8 years on a 65k mile Kia and 9 years on a 1998 Benz with 80k miles.

The latest Genesis I’ve driven was a 2014 (drove it last fall) - Loaded, with the big honkin’ V8. I test drove it, buy did not buy. It felt cheap, and felt like a bargain basement car. The engine was conceptually cool, but did not hustle like I was hoping for. I was underwhelmed, at best. I also test drove a used…

Actually, this is their job.

Screw that noise, you need a Ural.

1st Gear: All I can think now is “I want a LotuVo.” It would be a 1900 pound two door wagon with a 280hp turbo four, that handles like it’s on rails, goes 200k miles between tuneups, and has 17-star safety ratings.

There is nothing more to say. Shut down the internet, it’s time to go home.

Solution?

Weird, so was I. It’s like going to a fast food restaurant, and seeing a dude that looks like me, eating what I was going to order!
