That is your opinion and that is fine. I get it. I just know how I did things. I also know “If Attila the Hun will get me that car for $1,500 under invoice, I’ll take it.” approach is a big reason why people leave the showroom. Think about the salespeople. They are people before they are salespeople.

Got a car at a dealership that was pretty hassel-free, not to mention the purchase was made a few thousand below sticker. So far so good.

From my experience in the car business turn over is high for several reasons:

The whole dealership model sucks for everybody. I buy a car and some poor person has to offer me a bunch of shit during a pointless exit interview that has no value. My favorite being a long term warrantee that overlaps the factory warranty and charges for it. We both know all of his offers are crap. I refuse them…

If they can go where the car is, why can’t they give it to you in person?

It’s not going to look like that. It’s not going to have those gigantic wheels. It’s not going to have that futuristic facia. It’s not going to have suicide doors, It’s not going to have a retractable steering column. It’s going to be a Golf (or a Polo) slightly modified and electric.

1st gear “I don’t trust human drivers around self-driving cars”. I can’t even use my radar cruise control because, at minimum, it leaves a 2 car length gap, so people zoom into that gap as they weave through traffic. Of course, the cruise robot hits the brakes when that happens, opens the gap, and it happens again and…

Neutral: Make them safe. You can’t talk to people about how much safer autonomous cars will be until you’re blue in the face, but they won’t believe it until they experience it, or at least have seen enough evidence to believe it. Right now, the most people have heard of autonomous cars is about people being killed by…

self-driving cars are like the metric system in the 70s. we keep getting it shoved down our throats and keep getting told how awesome it is, but absolutely no one is interested in adopting it. besides the people trying to sell them, who the hell wants self-driving cars?

Which is the reason that all of the top five publicly traded US companies are technology companies. The jobs are lost but the wealth they generate is retained.

Too complicated, just pump in NOOOOOOSSSSSS until you crack a piston or blow your floor panel out.

Ebay turbos/turbo parts aren’t necessarily bad. The turbos themselves, if balanced properly, are just about as reliable as your average mid priced turbo. I don’t care if I buy a 9k dollar kit for my Mustang from Hellion, I will still question, learn, and adjust things to fit my situation. The stupid part of this whole…

Venture Bros did that and it was as good as you imagine.

In the real comic, Peter makes his own web solution. This was highlighted in the reboot.

I had a discussion about this at work recently and I wonder how far unions would go to prevent this. Strong Unions like the Teamsters and UPS have a lot of truck driving employees to protect. Losing these jobs to automation would be pissing a lot of people off.

Huh, so the Ram drive lines are so bad that replacing them with giant squids is an improvement?

I’m so baffled. I don’t understand how this movie could lose $115M. I don’t understand how this movie could cost $115M. Is this some kind of The Producers-esque scam? I’m serious, I think that someone should investigate this production.

This doesn’t surprise me. I saw the preview for this at the theaters and the only thought going through my mind was “This is it. This is what society has been reduced.” Maybe I’m just cynical, but the quality of movies over the past decade has been on a steep downward slope. So much so, when a good movie actually…

Hardly any less plausible than being stung by a spider will make you shoot silk from your wrist.

It doesn’t really seem any more implausible or poorly acted than The Fast and The Furious, and that spawned like 10 billion sequels.
