Very, very true.  The Ikea run to Charlotte is about 80 miles.  If I can’t charge there some, I need to get home, ‘cause there ain’t no chargin’ on the way.

The UAW is only concerned with keeping them employed.  Not their conduct or performance.  

Back is fine.  Profile okay.  But the pics won’t show you that hideous front end (on purpose?).

Just go with it.  This is the last bastion for people with common sense about cars, as well as the futurists who drool over the concepts that we know we’ll never see.

Yes, that has ‘young married couple clueless about the World’ written all over it.

Buick was defined as, and I quote this site, “The entry level of the luxury car market”.

I AM looking at a Tour X wagon, though.

Yep.  And it sounds like that guy has ‘new car syndrome’, which is understandable.  I was young once.

Ponyo, Totoro, and Kiki are easier to get.  

Princess Mononoke gave me dreams as an adult.  And it had the highest body count since Mulan. (Yeah, Mulan is newer, but I saw it first)

I have gone through this exact, to-the-word, conversation.

There’s a ‘Catch-22' in there somewhere if I can just word it right.

Sure. A supposed memo, not published, from a pure leftist group with no evidence. And the article begs you to contribute rather than giving out any real information.

My Uncle had great Korean War stories about the Turks.  They fought hard.  “Kill Chinee!” was one of their favorite sayings.

If Trump came out with a vial, and said; “We now have the total cure for all cancer!”, the dems would condemn him for ‘taking away their right to die of cancer’.

Nice.  So you hand-pick the most extreme examples you can find just to disagree.  Okay, fine.  If I looked hard enough, I could probably find a 2-year-old Ferrari for $50.  With repossessions, trade-ins, lease sales, etc... you can’t just nail one number down and say; “THIS is what all these cars are worth.”.

“Semi-affluent”  is a range more than a specific.

A good question. German luxury cars (and others) plummet like a rock, value-wise. Generally, as soon as it’s off warranty and needs a $7,000 transmission job, they get dumped. In Atlanta when I lived there, you could get your choice of any 5-year-old BMW for as little as 5 grand. Rich people don’t care that their car…

Right now, it sounds like the union wants more, and isn’t even taking into account GM’s gestures.  You want to know which side your bread is really buttered on?  Let GM cancel their very generous health care during the strike.  The union gets to make all kinds of ‘exemptions’ to help them win.  Raise strike pay?  Let…

Hmmm.... I can predict the future...
