This is just not true. Volkswagen has repeatedly said the Model Y and Mach E are NOT the competition they’re aiming for. But people continue to fabricate that they did. I’m not saying don’t compare them. But to flat out lie saying Volkswagen sees them as their competition is disingenuous, and bad journalism.

Musk: A study in auto-fellatio for personal gain.

To paraphrase an old joke: “apart from the Model 3, what has Musk ever done for humanity?”

Logos, not always but a lot of times, work with association. I mean, Ferrari’s prancing horse is a good example. We associate that with Ferrari because that is the strongest connections that we make, while that particular logo’s origin is closer to Porsche.  So the new KIA logo, while it’s not all that communicative,…

lol you don’t have to explain yourself. There are tons of people who literally don’t spend anything over 15k on a car and get their money’s worth for years. If you know what you’re doing you don’t have to spend more.

AA is in a bad way, no getting around it. And they are so heavily leveraged, it’s really a major problem.

By comparison, I know both Delta and United’s respective pilots unions came to agreements to avoid pilot furloughs.

If your business has staffing shortages, it is your fault. No one else. If you don’t have enough people who want to work for you, it’s because you don’t pay enough. Supply and demand applies to the labor market as well.

I wonder why American Airlines would have a staffing shortage, then I look back to this from their pilots union:

Really? Two owners? That’s all it takes for a jalop-bait article?

If you go through my posts you’ll find me to be a big Harley critic. And yet, it appears they’re getting their house in order. It remains to be seen if their efforts will be enough to change the negative impression most people have of them, and they still don’t have any middleweight stuff that appeals to me, but…

But chasing ring times also means that a car needs to be capable on straights- in turns - at stopping and acceleration. Whereas chasing 0-60 is totally uni dimensional.

In 2010, if you would have told me that I’d be lusting after a 500+ horsepower Kia crossover that could do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, I’d have sooner told you I was likely to fornicate with a blood relative.

It's gorgeous.

But between my second vaccine shot and that day will be the roaring twenties.

Understand what difference, between fraud and legit business? Well I sure hope so, but investors not falling for outright fraud doesn’t excuse said fraud.

$30,000 will get you a ~2010 E63 AMG and when the tow truck drive shows up you can tell them all about how your station wagon has over 500 horsepower.

The majority of americans may own SOME stock, but the richest 10% of households own 84% of publicly traded shares. For low income americans who own stock (less than $35k HHI), the median account is less than $10,000. So a 20% runup in the stock market does nothing to repair the damage of even a month or two out of a…

FWIW, I’m not totally sure an independent inspection would have caught this either. Unless there were other issues during the tech’s test drive, or some external evidence of severe damage, IDK who would be pulling interior trim apart (C-Pillar, Trunk) to check for abnormal weld marks. Granted, there might be other…

Unfortunately with modern reliability and safety standards, this car with forced induction would weigh 500 lbs more and cost $45k. At that price you’ve gotta compete with a load of capable options, where as the current positioning leaves the miata as basically the only competitor.
