I would pay to watch a reality show where the person in scenario #1 makes financial decisions in each episode and walks us through his/her “logic” while doing so. Gold. Pure gold.

Prepared food.

Bourdain explained it very simply all the way back in Kitchen Confidential (I paraphrase here): “you know why everything we make tastes so good?  We use lots of cream.  And butter.  Real butter.  Lots and lots.”

That’s a Chrysler 300 with some JC Whitney body parts on it.

I’m pretty sure there are a couple of former GM engineers looking for work.

Call me when there’s cocaine involved.

no. Ghosn is a businessman who uses cars to make money. He is NOT a car guy who happens to make money. There’s a difference.

And there’s about a 10 day difference between you doing the work and the company sending it offshore for cheaper.

Why even have full coverage? A deductible is how much you’re on the hook for if insurance pays out. If you aren’t going to have them cover anything, just drop to liability only and save the money.

Think of it as a hardtop Miata. Because that’s what it is.

VW knows that Golf is dead in America, except for having moar power with GTI and R. And VW killed the 2 door format a couple of years ago. So a dedicated coupe, underpowered, is completely dead. Nothing to see here. Move along.

yeah, I call bullshit on “$21K out the door”.  That’s a car price of $19,200 plus tax/title/doc fees.  Maybe in 2014...

a new domestic hybrid system where there was no connection between the engine and wheels

Despite the MARTA acronym (Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority)

Cue the Dems to dictate to everyone else what they must do, in order that the Dems can continue to get into their Suburbans and drive themselves around town.

blah blah blah blah All that blabber can be reduced to 4 words:

Lighten up, Francis.

It’s the holidays. “How quickly can we phone in actual work and keep readers interested? Oh I know, share a few already made Youtube videos!”
