America is at peak “look at anything but my tiny-dick” energy right now, big stupid plastic garbage like this is meant to look tough to hide how afraid its buyers are.

So I see that GM and Toyota are facing off in the ugliest grille contest.

WTF is going on with that tailgate?! And looks like Toyota looked at the all-grill BMW and said “hold my beer..”

I think it needs about 10-15% less... everything. 

there’s some report floating around Deerborn [sic] that shows that Ford ends up making more money w/o a dealer network, but it’s too expensive to get the network replaced quickly state franchising laws prohibit them from selling directly.

“America” is an ancient word for “land of useless and parasitic middle men”.

Every time I hear about a rightwing COVIDIOT dying of Covid, I smile inside.

I do not understand how car companies spend billions of dollars and man hours on research and development of their product, yet they allow the customer experience at the point of sale to be such a shit show.

I have no idea what you are talking about...

You mean all the people winning the HermanCainAward?

It has become extremely hard to care about the people that have chosen the stupidest path forward.

“and lawyered up right away”

Yes, it is terrible when people have the nerve to exercise their Constitutional rights and it clearly means they are guilty rather than following their attorney’s advice.

Coming soon to a strip-mall parking lot near you!

The only people who enjoy the dealership experience are dealers. I’ll buy a car from a fucking vending machine with a well-stocked brochure rack. If you really need a person, it’s to make a copy of my drivers license before I go on a test drive.

It’s a good analogy for restaurants. There are small family owned places that are fantastic, and there are small family owned places that suck shit. But walk into a Buffalo Wild Wings anywhere, and you’re 99% sure what you’re going to get. 

3rd Gear: “Decision” to not unionize my ass. Toyota, Tesla, and every other non-union manufacturer have spent massive amounts of money fighting against unionization efforts while lying to their employees about the union boogeyman.

nothing of value was lost.  it was a crap patch job on a vehicle meant for another market. i cant believe people spent money on them. 

Not with that grill, ever.
