I thought the exact same thing. You can get a low-trim Frontier and add this and be at 45-50k, or for like 48 you can get a colorado ZR2 that’s superior in just about every measurable category and is better equipped at that price point. 

Let’s face it. The only people who have this kind of money for a car are the ultra rich, but the only people willing to buy this car are enthusiasts or serious flexers. The people who would flex would probably spend $300k plus on a Lamborghini instead, so between the two target buyers there’s a very very small market…

So the Challenger SRT Demon 170 has the aforementioned MSRP of $96,666. According to the monroney, this particular Demon 170 has $16,605 in options. They’re options that turn it into less of a drag racer and more of a drag racer you can live with, like heated and ventilated Laguna leather seats, Harmon Kardon audio…

Porsche purists are going to absolutely lose their s*** over a Porsche that’s electric, 4 doors, and biggest differentiator being touted is the range.

So to sum things up, your stance is “I’m not against SUV’s, but SUV owners are ‘the thing I hate’”? 

If someone starts a kickstarter/gofundme I would gladly donate to this cause. I’ll double my donation if the restaurant of choice is a little Caesars and location is Rome. 

I wonder if perhaps union lobbying had anything to do with the slow adoption. I’m sure a technology that removes 2 union jobs per truck was probably met with some significant resistance 

Not only did they just acquire a pilot program version of what other cities have had for decades, they’re patting themselves on the back for being “early”

This is a wonderful demonstration of our society today.

The big attraction of a move to Texas, CNBC explains, is that the state “is more lax about paying large sums to CEOs.

If we’re going to get technical, they’re wheel covers not hubcaps, a hubcap only covers the axle hub, not the whole wheel.

Exactly “Meh, it’s only wearing on literally the only part of the tire not really meant to endure wear, no big deal!”

I would love to see data on whether these onlyfans stickers actually drive any significant sales for the models.

A good chunk of these are unintentional strikes.

Exactly this test looks pretty stupid. They’re designed to take cars going semi-parallel to the rail and keep them within the rail. Nobody expects them to fully stop a vehicle coming at full speed and perpendicular to the rail.

To be fair, guard rails aren’t designed with collisions perpendicular to the rail in mind. They’re there so if someone is following traffic going parallel to the rails starts to veer off course it corrals them back in, they’re not meant to be some impenetrable wall you smash into like that. 

Nobody is arguing that insurance companies won’t or don’t like writing these 750K policies. I’m saying the cap doesn’t make it any easier for the insurance companies to make more money.

And if you’re the insurance provider, it’s like counting cards in blackjack; $750k is less than one-fifth of the risk that [a crash] really poses, so you really can’t lose

Maybe you should read the linked article (not just the title) before stating that someone is misquoting it. Literally the third sentence:

“The procedure was part of a Food and Drug Administration-approved clinical trial.”
