I can see that. It’s a fun vid, there’s a big ass Fuck Yea! American muscle-powered, 4-wheel drivin’, Daisy Duke Ass Grabbin’, 700hp luxo barge squealing its tires around one of the most well known German proving grounds....It’s ridiculous to see that truck anywhere in Europe, to begin with.

Again, however, all of the…

But profits. Sure, I mean, it’s bad for the global economy and whatever, but what about next quarter? THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

My favorite bike innovation was the “Bike Shark” that plugged into the end of your handlebar and made your pedaling 25% more efficient. So many races won...

That’s true of any of the upcoming EV truck.  Sure some may be able to tow big payloads but their range is gonna suffer MASSIVELY, especially of what they are towing is a large trailer those are pretty much aerodynamic bricks.

Zero. They are not charging market adjustments if you order. The one they had on the lot yesterday was ordered and the dude backed out. They had a freaking $13k ADM on that one (HAHAAHAAAA). Which some fool will probably pay because they don’t want to wait 5-6 months. The total was over $40k, wrong color and was an…

If a company is unable to find people internally to hire and move into higher level positions, then that company, its management and leadership are failures. The people in charge are no focused on the company and wanting to improve it, they are interested it the politics and their own carriers, that the company and the…

Management shouldn’t be hired externally. If a company actually values their workers, they’ll train them up from the lower levels to allow them to move into management roles.

How often are cars abandoned in front of your house? 

Don’t call me out like this...

How would we know.  Jalops don’t buy new cars we just comment on them.

Holy shit, that is excellent.

“After a lot of market research, we’ve found that our pay rates are in the 85th percentile”. OK, perfect, I’ll do 85% of the work I would at Boeing.

Written quote, so not an actual contract. I still won’t fully believe it until I’m actually driving off the lot.

Weird! Dad has wraparound shades he never takes off, questionable facial hair to cover his no-chin and a ball cap to cover his bald head!  I totally would have pegged him as making completely different lifestyle choices.

The problem with “Just-in-time” is everyone only reads surface deep into it and doesn’t truly understand the philosophy of it. People just think that inventory=bad when that is not at all the case. Toyota had a chip shortage like 10 years ago (I think during the Japanese tsunami?) and so they adjusted chip inventory…

Some of them can, but honestly, is that something that needs more encouragement? As someone who spent a good portion of my last trip to Usal Beach digging out teenagers stuck in their mom’s Pilot, I think we need more awareness of where NOT to go.

I would not want to be on Ford’s marketing team. Maybe Tesla did the right thing by not having one.

ready.
