I’ll take a used OG Audi A7 over these guys....

NO Tesla has already cornered that market

FFVI is the definitive Moogle.

I’ll raise you one: Blob-era pickup trucks

Anyone reasonable would see Elon Musk attached to something and immediately get as far away from it as possible. Telsa stans don’t think like the rest of us.

Jalopnik was ruined years ago. I still look once in a while because of semi-interesting car content. But this site is very clear example of the enshitification of the internet and letting web 2.0 bs take priority over content quality.

I don’t think you understand what snake oil is. Both wraps and ceramic coating serve a purpose, snake oil is something that claims to do something but does nothing.

The Q45 from 1990-93, I believe.

I swear this isn’t really funny to anyone but me but, as if through a weird form of compulsory word vomit, I feel compelled to tell this little story every time the F-Duct comes up in conversation.
