Is there really anyone out there whose $50K+ purchase would be significantly swayed by something as trivial as part time 4wd versus full time 4wd(come on guys can’t we just call it what it is, AWD?) with a center locker?

Imagine you are an insurance company and imagine there’s a law limiting how many customers you can have and you’re one away from the limit and the law says you have to charge every person the same premium.

At least in my experience, their algorithms seem to at least partially account for this. Like if Car A would be $500 to insure as my only car and car B would be $600 to insure as my only car, if you decide to buy and insure both and only have one driver on the policy the rate is probably not going to be $1,100

Radio phone. I’m not sure exactly how it worked in detail but radio-based versus microwave on modern cell networks. 

The most likely explanation for the drop in interest appears to be Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s personal behavior.

I will admit I don’t closely follow the underlying details/circumstances of train accidents, but have any of the recent accidents been situations where the facts suggest that it somehow may have been avoided had the train had additional people on board?

A 76K truck with a 1.4k payment means the payment is 1.8% of the vehicle price per month. The truck and it’s payment seem fairly reasonable, the only part that doesn’t seem reasonable is someone acquiring a 76k truck with 1.4k payment if that is not within their means. 

Nailed it, came to say exactly this. This freaking old timey video is the best dang explanation of a differential that ever has or ever will exist. 

Pretty bold of you to assume that “can I afford it” is a criteria that even cracks the top ten list of importance for the average US car buyer...

If you’ve been paying attention to the airline industry lately, you’re probably aware there’s been a string of incidents that Boeing probably wishes hadn’t made the news. Considering how much negative attention Boeing has attracted recently, including news that its CEO plans to resign, it would be understandable if…

So we’re comparing the CO2 to make the battery with the CO2 of fuel burn and just going to pretend that every EV is charging entirely off renewables?

Grammar police and a phallic joke all in one comment? It’s a shame this site only let’s me grant you one star for your achievements 

Reminds me of a story from college.

Standard practice, the options for a manufacturer are remove it and re-install at the end of the show, or leave it installed for some show-goer to eventually remove it and then buy a replacement after the show. 

Love the color but come on bro it’s a thread about paint colors and you select a pic with the least amount of visible paint possible haha 

While add-ons are generally a ripoff, the one factor you don’t give credit for in your comment is it’s not just the dealer selling you something today versus tomorrow. Some of the value to them is getting you locked in today buying from that dealer versus potentially buying your service from some other dealer down the…

Talking to that finance guy at the end of any financing deal is like talking to a brick wall. On multiple car purchases I’ve been similar to you and bluntly led the conversation with “I do not want to buy any add-ons, so if you want we can save time and skip the pitch. If your boss requires you to show me the options…

My bad, so many ads and popup boxes on this site I didn’t notice that last sentence snuck in after the giant “sign up for our newsletter” box.

Some of these like the Ranger Raptor make sense where it’s an awesome enthusiast cars and dealers have a super small allocation. But what the actual f*** to 28K markup on a base trim Blazer EV that Chevy is going to make as many as possible of? 

Trump is guilty and a POS, but your example is not really applicable to the defense he tried to make. Their argument is that he lied to the banks to get the loans, but he repaid the loans on time and in full, so the banks don’t really care and suffered no negative consequences from his fraud. you example is…
