Based on no knowledge, but OK.

I’ll give you that I’m an asshole. Sure.

That’s cause the PRODUCT appealed to the enthusiast in you.

Gas stations aren’t the part of the supply chain that’s in danger. There will be plenty of them for the remainder of our great grandchildren’s lives.

That is literally not how it works.

So that one guy, huh? Was it even an F56 Cooper?

What US do you live in where they ban dangerous drivers after they kill people? Because here in the USA we even let drivers who kill somebody drive home from the scene.

The Cooper’s reputation for unreliability comes from the R56. The F56 is super-reliable. And it’s been the current generation for quite a while.

The Ferrari FF is a terrible horrible no good car, and nobody should want or buy them. Doubly so for the GTC4Lusso. Never buy one. Demand for these should be low, and the prices should be in my budget low as well.

You meant to say CARB, right? ‘Cause CAFE is a disaster, and using smog in LA to justify it is either stupidity or willful stupidity. At least with CARB you might argue the ends justify the means. 

Let’s try to make it essential. The subsidy was not “artificial” your job was moved because those subsidies ultimately bear fruit for the municipality that provided them. The revenue generated by attracting jobs affects all facets of an urban economy.

How about just make better use of your time during your commute or make better life choices so you don’t have one?

There’s certainly some of both. But around here (greater Boston) the subsidized pull of jobs from the ring highways into the city has been a government pet project. And our reps from out here go along because we’ve got perpetual single-party rule. So they can cram through any crazy pie-in-the-sky scheme without…

Human life is exactly as valuable as human life.

You were embarrassed for me? Hah!

Also, if a trip took 20 hours or 30 hours or whatever - SO WHAT. You’re talking about convenience, I’m talking the survival of human civilization.

Happens to you that often?

Plenty I’m sure. I’m not too concerned about it.

The market doesn’t want a “quirkless” car.
