Profits are not paid to executives.

I agree.  I am amazed at the size for what people do with them.  This past summer I had the pleasure of owning a smallish truck, a Jeep Comanche sport truck.  It was great having it as I'd never had a truck before, very useful for moving things without having to hook up the utility trailer.  I did have trouble with…

Growing up in ND you see plenty of relics. Like the Nekoma pyramid on the prairie. It was operational for all of 1-2 weeks if that before a treaty shut it down.

At 43k it burned a quart every few hundred miles? I know someone who’s had three WRXs all of varying vintages and all with head gasket issues. Mine just turned 43k and I’m getting nervous.

OK, I’m glad you brought up the WRX. I bought a ‘13 in ‘14 with 8k miles on it. I knew I was buying a car with a cheap interior because all the money went into the drivetrain and I am totally fine with that. But good God, the quality overall is awful. The car had rattles and squeaks everywhere pretty much from the…

So at first I thought you were saying that your wife was out of commission with her whole rear end removed...

My complaint is that moving a 4,000 lbs object remotely without being physically near some sort of e-stop makes me very queasy.

Agreed, that’s a good way of doing it. My way involved progressive tax credit based on the income of the purchaser, but that model inherently begs to be exploited. Your way actually puts lower-income people into EVs, and those are the people make up the majority of the driving population.

But those are Canadian Months, that’s only 72 months American.

I misread the headline as the Olds Diesel and was wondering how they were going to meet that price point. I’m very disappointed. 

When I worked at GM in the early 2000s, we did crash simulations on a software called LS Dyna. Obviously, the level of fidelity and sophistication has increased tremendously from then to now, but the basics were still the same. You made a finite element model (mathematical representation of the structure) from the CAD…

I hope the judge doesn't approve the settlement unless he steps down as CEO as well.

I mean it’s your opinion, but my vote here in Indiana shouldn’t count more than somebody else’s vote. We’re not voting for a governor; we’re voting for a President. Direct voting is really the only way it makes any sense.

Even so... you do realize the EC was intended to be re-evaluated every so many years, right? It…

I bet Andrew’s accident wasn’t too far from your mind while driving these.

If Ferrari asked me to induct some new owners, I’d tell them to fuck off or write me a check. I’m not their dealership team. I’ll show someone around a car I’m enthusiastic about of my own volition, on my own time because I like it (the same way I might write a positive and instructional review on amazon), but I’m not…

I like it.

My whole house smells like it. So does one of my Jeeps (a gallon of 80w-90 spilled in the cargo area). The smell never goes away, but I’m not complaining.
