If you live on Long Island and drive into Manhattan on a daily basis you deserve every bad thing that happens to you, and worse.

This is intentional. The controls engineer designed the calibration to filter torque so that the acceptable jerk (rate of change of acceleration) is not exceeded. There are very different requirements for these types of vehicles compared to passenger.  Transit busses have similar requirements for jerk.

Fill it with hamster wheels. Make those little brats earn their ride to school.

The clearest signs that these fees are a profit center are the complete disconnect between factory location and destination fee (cars built overseas are supposedly cheaper to ship than cars built in the center of the country?) and the fact that no US automaker is willing to let you pick up at the factory and waive the…

Twitter could be worse.

You don’t get to be the richest person in the world by being well adjusted.

Ok, so like whenever I see a car driving at night with their headlights off, I flash my high beams at them to hopefully get their attention and convince them to turn their lights on. Some idiots do not do this because they are afraid that the car driving with its headlights off is actually going through some kind of…

$900 isn’t enough. We need to return to golden age of flying prices. Too many uncivilized individuals have access to air travel. It was pleasant during the pandemic when airlines were just shuttling mail across the country without the headaches of pax.

$900! The worst part is that after all of that...you're in Boston. 

Only the poor ones. Median sale price is over $1 Mil in DC for single family homes now.

The majority of the free money came from the drastic cuts in taxes that those deranged with support for Trump have overlooked, just a continuation in a long line of funding the wealthy that the Republicans have performed.

Also ten months ago: Worldwide demand remained low due to ongoing pandemic.

2nd Gear; Let’s not forgot inflation and all that “free money” that’s been flowing from DC. The US dollar is losing value. The oil markets are based on USD, but when every other currency is rising against the dollar, a global commodity like oil will cost more USDs per unit (gallon/barrel).

When gas was crazy expensive under Bush after the Iraq war I remember a bunch of conservatives saying not to blame the president but whatever. 

A: Said pipeline was only about 10% completed and was providing zero oil and hence had nothing to do with supplies.

B: You do realize that if we wen all electric that would drive down demand for gas.... right?

C: Gas prices are not controlled by national demand. Its international demand and whatever is produced in the…

Pretty hilarious that you would frame second gear in that way since last time I looked, our side doesn’t whine and then attack the nation’s capital in defense of their crooked leader...

You are literally the whole market for this car.  There is no other reason for anyone else to want it

This is the car equivalent of a new-in-box eMachines Celeron 266. I mean, it’s retro, rare and mint - but... why?

I believe you misspelled “government agencies aren’t given the money they need to do their jobs”

I’m sorry, but folks from states with no front license plate requirement don’t get to complain here. :)
