I’ll provide a little bit of a counterpoint. My wife rides a 2020 Himalayan. Her 120lbs is great for the bike. She keeps up with me on my R1200GS fine when we are riding be it on road or soft off road. I know I could light it up and rip 0-60s in 2.5 seconds and top out at something like 125 and she isn’t going to…

I know, right? LOL

I recently bought a car and the salesperson was reasonably useful, pointing out the differences between trim levels and showing us the models they had in stock. He did not try to upsell or play games.

May?!

1. Don’t know much about the cars they are selling

Its years beyond its should need to die. Like probably 20 years past.

“Good salespeople would help find ways to match people to what they need, and be able to talk about the advantages of their product. Without desperation.” I agree, but how many people come onto a car lot unsure of what they want? Haven’t they already decided? My guess is people are there solely to test drive (maybe,…

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.

I’m surprised how many red states signed right the fuck up to support this. I would have thought Arizona of all places would be NOPEing the hell away from this calling it some kind of ‘phony digital ID’ or something.

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?”

That’s Anne Rice for you. She has this thing about weird, uncomfortable types of love. Sometimes it works in the context of the novels, and sometimes...it’s just weird and uncomfortable.

Wait till you read Game of Thrones!

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,…

Oh, just wait until you get later into the series; underage sex galore!

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.

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