I have something like 80 gigs of music I’ve been collecting since the 1990s. Lately I just want to get back to albums instead of endless singles. One day I’ll put all my digital music into playlists and get rid of probably half of it. But anyway. I feel like as I get older I just want to listen to something that’s…

You mean dealers don’t give bullshit reasons about why they don’t have “room to budge” on a price, only to come down significantly later?

You do need alcohol. Especially when you’re getting families together. At all costs get an open bar. Agree on the seating. Keep the ceremony and dinner short and sweet. Agree on getting a friend to marry you. That friend knows you and will be more sincere and funnier than an officiant who is reciting a planned speech.

Can someone please explain how the dealer model works from a dealer purchasing perspective? Do they actually buy/finance inventory? or do they pay to keep it on their lots for a fee? What do they actually pay and what are their margins on an actual sale, without the bullshit explanations that dealers give.

CP: Normally, 2500 for a running car like this one is NP all day long, but the prices for an XJR in good condition are low enough that after the general maintenance needed, I’d rather just spend the 8-10k for a nicer one.

Instead you prefer to waste time by clarifying your perspective and making snide comments about whether or not someone should Facebook less? To address your data specifically. You’re comparing apples to oranges. Both immigration policy and circumstance in Europe are completely different. Attitudes would be really hard…

Eh. You’re making some generalizations based on data that imply you’re OK with deporting illegal immigrants because other countries do it while ignoring a bunch of context. It isn’t a huge leap. The points people are making to you aren’t really too unfair, and by not out and out refuting them and taking a specific…

I’ll never chill. You chill.

Cherokee isn’t really marketed or sold as an offroad vehicle, it’s a city SUV. Toyota 4Runner - and the Land Cruiser Prado, which actually is the “Land Cruiser” in this video (essentially a 4Runner), are specifically more rugged offerings. For more road-oriented SUVs they have the Sequoia and Highlander.

Turns out its the LC Prado in this review, which is a 4Runner

Fair enough. Except we are both wrong. The Land Cruiser Prado - which is in this review, is actually not a Land Cruiser - it’s the 4Runner platform.

Isn’t the Prado on the same platform and available there?

Let me rephrase. The 4Runner is among the best offroad SUVs available. Period. Just because Toyota has two of them, seems like it shouldn’t be left out.

No 4Runner? Props for the cruiser but the runner is no slouch

Eh. It’s a little more complex than that. I don’t think buying new vs. used really comes down to whether or not you believe in fun cars and want to enjoy cars. And what you’re suggesting sounds a little like a situation where the majority of America wouldn’t be able to enjoy cars if they thought like you do.

One. I’m not American. Two. I’m about as left as they come, but hey - an irrationally hostile response was probably a great way to get your point across about multiculturalism and anti-isolationism.

I’ve said LEGOs since the late eighties. Maybe it’s incorrect, but I wasn’t the only one. If a word is misused for over 30 years doesn’t it get automatically accepted into the English language and entered into the OED?

Wellllll... I think you’ve moved the goalposts a bit in this post from the previous ones, but I won’t harp on it too much. That said, Tesla represents the type of niche, high-risk ingenuity that was the hallmark of US industry in the first half of the 20th century. It shouldn’t surprise me, but it does shock me after…

They’ve completed the car. Initial reviews are good. They have a line of people literally waiting for their max capacity for several years... provided the actual car is profitable (parts and manufacturing/marketing costs, not GAAP), and given the relative maturity of Model S manufacturing, I think you’re being overly…

The neat thing about how this works is if there aren’t interested parties they won’t get the money. Literally 100% of stock buying and selling is marketing, positioning and hype. You’re shouting at the sky because it’s blue.
