It seems to me the Tesla owners I know are the same guys who were showing off their Palm Pilots as “the next big thing in computing”. But only Early Adopters would deal with the inconvenience of manually entering contacts, manually synching to shitty software and the rest of it.

Drugs to placate the masses, and prostitution to supplement whatever the government decides is a base level of universal basic income.

This is one of those annoying issues where I completely agree with you, and simply don’t know what the correct solution is.

Let’s see - in my garage in Maine I have a 230hp BMW wagon, a 190hp Land Rover Disco I, and an 80hp Triumph Spitfire. That’s 500hp! Cost me about $50K all together

Oh yeah, supercharged Atom definitely beats NSX :-)

First and second gear only, all in a school parking lot just to get the basics down. They were not allowed into traffic (their dad has an ‘05 Outback stick for that).

Guys, after a little stalking I can tell you you’re talking to a guy with a dang car lift in his garage.

Why is that, release the clutch slowly until the car starts moving, then apply gas when you feel ready to go faster. It’s mindbogglingly easy.

Whoever designed these wheels, when they die, should go to a hell of having to clean the damn things.

Mid Gen-X, to young boomer parents.

A 5 year loan on a $50k truck is like $1000/mo. Even with a $20k trade in you’re still looking at $600/mo. That is A LOT of money.

Any dealer would be elated to give you a great deal on your trade on the condition that you pay whatever price they ask on the purchase.

Sorry that’s correct, 1M not M1.

just walk in and say “Hi, I’d like to buy that car over there and will pay whatever price you want”

Barack Obama publicly opposed gay marriage until running for re-election in 2012. Hillary Clinton, until 2013. Not because this is what they really thought, but because they prioritized winning elections over what they personally believed.

I don’t know when the “I don’t need no stinkin’ expert” phenomenon began

Downvoted for mentioning the LFA without a link, and then linking Chris Cornell.

2) Create a captive finance arm. More profit is made in new car finance than in actual vehicle sales margins. It’s something that Detroit has done right for years.
