I don’t think that’s a totally fair assessment. I’m no GM fanboy, and I’ll admit the interior quality of my current fleet Equinox is far below my previous fleet Cherokee (but it spends a lot less time at the dealer, so there’s that). But in general, they’ve been making pretty fine vehicles the last 10 years or so.…

When you have the emotional intelligence of a toddler, it’s hard work coming up with words to describe how someone might be feeling.

A friend, real smart guy, called me up to tell me it was the biggest win he’d seen. This guy knows big wins. You know the democrats never win like this. Sure, they win sometimes. But never like this. In fact no one has ever won like this before.

In general I agree - I know the Cayenne is generally regarded as very reliable, but at the end of the day we’re talking about a 12 year old German performance car. The price you pay is the cost of entry, so you need to think total cost of ownership.

Suprised by the number of folks NP-ing an 11 year old VW.

As some other commenters mentioned, our utility provider has incentives you can opt-in to for smart chargers. It’s a small amount for the “basic” membership that just allows monitoring (which you can then couple with off-peak charging incentives or not, your choice), and a bigger amount for a plan that let’s them…

It’s not the worst I’ve seen, but yeah - I can get a rusty one up here in NY, no need to go all the way to California for it. ND at that price, but I’m a pretty big fan.

He may just skip the promises and tell investors to go fuck themselves.

Exactly. On a Vanagon the weekender is worth, what, 3x as much?

I was going to share the same sentiment, and then deleted my comment because I was bogged down in the part about Chinese spying.

Going aftermarket on the fuel injection controllers is sometimes a great solution on cars this age - but issues with said system make you wonder if you’ll need to rip everything out and start over again. So yeah, ND on the intermittent issues (and the cat delete).

I think the new one is also quite terrible. But this grill within a grill mess, and whatever the hell is going on down below (are those supposed to look like brake cooling ducts?) is just...I don’t have a better description than terrible.

I think the 1500s are worse. This attempt at a front end design has not grown on me at all. I’ll concede the HD pictured above is also ugly AF.

The “but I’m just a little old lady” excuse is overplayed - especially when driving. We need retests for driving in this country.

They may have had to stop the carwash. I’m assuming she either

Having worked for an OEM (and then at other much smaller companies that went through their systems upgrades with consistently terrible (but predictable) outcomes) I think it’s hard for most people to grasp how hard those transitions in the business are for companies that large and that multi-national. The old standards…

“More of the EV talent is heading out than in,”

At $27,000 I was expecting this thing to be mint, and I was still going to ND someone else’s project (because, well, it’s not a mint E30 if half the car is other cars).  This....is just offensive. I’m upset Rob would subject us to this.

I’m not a native Torontonian, but I do make it across the falls and up that way a couple times a year.

I completely understand why new technology has to trickle down (to some extent) from the upper end of the market - because there’s more margin there and because there is less price sensitivity. But I completely agree that
