“Eighty-six happiness? Hardly. You are not your job.”

This, and treating employees poorly. The actual cars seem ok, but still more than I am willing to pay. Get it down to competitive with a Prius and give me a few more years with my xB and I might give them a serious look.

Mostly I feel pretty “meh” about them, aside from the crap fuel econ for a car that size, which pushes it into hard “no” territory for me.

“It was like taking a bag of diarrhea and replacing it with a box of shit.”

Ha! As soon as I saw that photo, I thought, hmmm...is this in Johnson County or Gladstone?

Gotta love the fuckfaces posting “this is why socialism doesn’t work” here while disregarding that in a well run socialist state, there aren’t many/any homeless people to begin with...

“I gather you do not have to live with this crap all day.”

Seeing as they pay basically no income taxes, I’m not gonna lose much sleep over Ford and GM having crap first quarters.

I agree with the sentiment and the thinking behind it, and I’m not black. This whole situation in this country is an embarrassment at best and a heartbreaking failure of basic humanity at worst, on more levels than I have time to go into right now.

Not always- I got a red light camera ticket once that was dubious for two reasons: one, I wasn’t the driver at the time, even though it was my car, and two, the light wasn’t even red at the time, but the automated system still issued me a citation anyway. Missing an entire day of work to sort that out was really fun.

I assume that most of these folks aren’t drunk from 9-5 monday through Friday? I might be wrong though. 

The pictured Hyundai looks pretty close to the Black Cherry Pearl of my ‘05 Scion xB. It’s not my favorite color ever, but I like enough to have owned two basically identical xB’s in that color, so I must not be mad at it.

That red...yes, please and thanks.

Holy shit, POStal actually made it!

Oh, I agree, it’s just that especially downtown here it’s now assholes in cars AND assholes on scooters. Gah!

Yeah- that might not be quite a 1:1 analogy. I guess a Sportster is Tele-ish, but most of the bigger bikes are more like your John Mayer Signature Strats of the motorcycle world? Maybe that’s a closer fit?

No, I hate them because 99% of the people on them where I live and work are fucking idiots with no consideration for anyone else, traffic laws, right of way, so on and so forth.

“Tesla makes far and away the best electric car readily available in the United States and, in many respects, one of the better cars of any kind. Which is to say, they don’t have to do this. They don’t have to create all these false promises. They could just... keep making good cars, but more of them—focusing on scale

In my mind, what needs to happen is that, in guitar terms, H-D needs to stop being a Paul Reed Smith type brand, and get back to making the motorcycle equivalent of Telecasters- solid, simple, sturdy, reasonable, ultimately cooler too.
