To be fair, they start pretty well equipped at like 85K and a huge chunk of people buying these take a fat tax writeoff that basically refunds 20-30% of the purchase price. So at ~60K net price for a super capable ridiculously fast truck, it’s a pretty decent value proposition which is why they sold very quickly,…

Pretty sure they’re canceling it for emissions target reasons, the TRX sells plenty fast

Am I reading it right or does the last paragraph say they just get 5k instead of 6k if they exceed the income threshold?

And show who the at-fault party is in each collision. For all I know, maybe 95% of these are instances of a meatbag driver messing up and smacking into the law abiding robo-driver. 

100% on your side rant. My previous job was completely up to the employee whether to work in the office or not. I personally liked to have a few days a week in office to see people, get out of the house etc.

I love coconut, but most people I know who dislike it the reason is the texture. EX: Girlfriend can’t stand solid coconut in food and says it’s like eating wood chips, but absolutely loves coconut red bull. 

Why would someone pay 20K for a used 20-30,000 mile bolt that’s about to run out of warranty when a brand spanking new bolt starts at 26,500 with 7,500 in tax credits to get back?

I mean, the whole concept of a conflict of interest is a single party with conflicting interests. So by nature going from two independent owners to a single combined owner fundamentally changes the potential for a conflict to arise.

I’ll give you better, and “bigger” I guess kind of since subways options are 6/12 inches and JJ is 8/16

Based on how ridiculously unstable this couple was, my hope is they end up laying the bike down before they even exit their neighborhood the first time the try to ride 2 up and they come to the realization that they are better suited to touring the country in something like a Mustang convertible. 

100% on this. My parents have had almost exclusively v8 cars for the last couple decades. Last time they were in the market for a car, they could tell the EV thing is coming but weren’t quite ready to take the plunge but did go with a PHEV and after a year with that PHEV, the next time they have a car needing to be…

My only critique of the MSF course after taking it two times is they seem a little lax on that final exam.

I did similar and highly recommend it. Did the MSF course, hemmed and hawed about buying a bike for a couple years, then decided to retake the course before buying and it was the best decision.

I don’t understand how they’re surprised by the number of people who asked for the seat replacement.

First gear reminds me of a saying finance professor I had who told the story of losing a bunch of money because he shorted a lot of stocks about 8 months too early for the 2007-2008 crash. “Sometimes the market can afford to remain illogical longer than you can afford to remain solvent”

The problem is one dude owns 99% of the stock, so he’s able to heavily influence the price 

I don’t think there’s anyone here who read 1st gear and thought +/- 15%+ swings every single day was somehow based on the underlying business fundamentals.

This argument is kind of like the people who say you should support local mexican restaurants instead of taco bell when really not many people are actually sitting there deciding between Taco Bell/Grocery store sushi versus going to a real restaurant. 

You could make the same argument about any 20 year gap in vehicle generations.

Did its “go” maybe not live up to the massive hood scoop appearance? Perhaps.
