Holy shit, trolls; I’m just going to say this once. I’m a white man in his mid-30's who pointed-out that black passengers in vehicles are ostensibly more-likely to be murdered by police officers than white people.

“That’s second... behind a nice hot German”

Like how the guy in the Jeep was like, “WASN’T US!” That’s about the time I’d be pissing myself.

Cheap glue, and constant changes in temperature and humidity; it is a recipe for failure.

It’s subject to a lot of temperature fluctuation, especially heat when parked outdoors, and there’s no reason for an automaker, say Chrysler, to spend money on an adhesive that will last 26 years.

There is a lot to unpack here...

The automakers just want a set of rules to follow that won’t change on the whim of whoever is in office. GM, Toyota, and FCA are saying that they want federal rules that govern the entire country, wherever those standards end up being. Ford, Honda, VW, and BMW are probably more pragmatic in understanding that…

I had a different thought. If you are good at something people want you don’t want your competition getting into it. They like that buyers want this and being the best with minimal competition means kaching.

WHAT IS THIS CALIFORNIA EMISSION! I MUST KNOW!

3rd Gear (trying to be helpful): GM’s EV intrinsic value is embedded in the overall brand. GM has no demonstrated ability to meaningfully monetize their EV intellectual property. Separating that business from the mothership allows for it to have a chance at not being completely fucked up by GM, hence it has the…

Neutral: He will complain about it on Twitter, maybe sign an EO that affectively does nothing, then brag about doing something. Then something something jobs, employment, us manufacturing, liberals destroying america, etc.

why don’t they just make the whole truck out of tailgate?

Country and western? 

I think that they should make them so they swing both ways.

Got myself a John Deere Model A tractor for a screaming deal because of the virus. Dude was happy to get the money. And the fact that its a tractor and not another project car means it TECHNICALLY doesn’t violate my wife’s moratorium on me buying more cars.

The difference between $150,000 and $250,000 is fairly significant, though. It means you can essentially spend an extra $100,000 on housing (leaving out tax implications) while not changing your standard of living much. And that’s not to mention things like maxing out social security, 401k and 401k matching go up,…

The number of comments on here which start with the base assumption that the CFO of a large multi-national company can’t figure out the cost of living difference between Detroit and San Francisco is absolutely astounding. Or that the CFO of a large multi-national company is being a fool for leaving Michigan because…

the good deals are coming, when people run out of money and there aren’t enough buying whatever houses, cars, boats etc that are for sale...

Exactly. Smart, rich people don’t want to live in Detroit. No amount of “durrrrr, the cost of living is so expensive in the bay area, seattle, etc.” These guys are making well enough money to live comfortably in those cities, this is the CFO of GM we’re talking about here, not some factory worker. 

“The tech industry pays more; the tech industry is faster paced with regards to innovation; the Big Three tend to offer slower upward mobility, and living in Detroit can be, well, cold and suburban.”
