I'd reckon less than 5% of truck owners, and honestly more like 1%, use their trucks to that degree. The vast, vast majority of them use them for commuting and short hauls. A trip to Lowes. 20 miles with the boat and back. Maybe two or three times a year, 150 miles with the boat. You're an extreme end of the bell…

Tesla and Texas are both such shitshows. I urge every Texan here to go and run every appliance they own at full blast during peak demand periods. The faster you collapse it, the sooner you can rebuild it in a sane way.

Not quite the same level of idiocy, but I’ll take a Gibbs Quadski

Is 14k even close to the market value now ? I would try and beat some more cash out of the insurance company

Grand Wagoneer and Wagoneer are identical in dimensions.

Surprisingly I’m going NP on this one.
Obviously should hate this, any fake Ferrari is bad, however this one just doesn’t bother me as much, maybe because they are asking a reasonable price.

Personally, if I was in Hawaii I’d consider it for this price. The body kit wouldn’t be too bad if you pulled all the Ferrari…

$4500 is almost cheap enough to be “in on the joke”... if it were functional.

Donks.

Actually Tesla (up until the Twitter thing) had been the darling of the stock market come rain or shine. They have the luxury of not having to worry about profits, or even quality issues.  Toyota has to play by the normal rules. Tesla does not.

I read it more like “I need you all to do more work than you’re already doing, but I‘m definitely not paying you more for it”. He’s already tried getting them to volunteer their time on the weekends, which is illegal.

Using public funds to provide charging is not solely what the bill is. It also mentions privately owned places too which is totally ridiculous. If a hotel, store or restaurant wants to provide free or subsidized charging to its guests and patrons on private land, that is none of the GOP’s business. This is a huge…

I know plenty of folks in the lower class with a Tesla. Mostly cause they saved up for it.

the government is choosing to spend people’s money on something they might not necessarily want or ever use

Once we have a big correction, fed rates are 3.5+%, and gas is $6/gal no one is going to be buying $60k trucks.

The goal is to encourage adoption. First adopters are generally those with the most discretionary income as economies of scale and commoditization of market have not occurred in sufficient amounts yet. While they can afford to fuel up, it’s in the public interest to make their investment as reasonable as possible. So…

Could set a good precedent. Next up, free beer required by water fountains. 

I think both Hagerty and the seller are way, way overpriced on that Supra. The only Toyota that’s worth that much coin, and I would buy it if I could, is the Toyota Century GRMN (Gazoo Racing tuned by the Meister of Nurburgring).

Dishonorable mention goes to this VW Bus, that was bid to 55k and didn’t sell https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1960-volkswagen-bus-8/

Buying tahoes is actually one I can’t understand. If you are already going that large, the suburban doesn’t have any noticeable drawbacks. The 15" longer doesn’t actually make it harder to drive but you get more room, more comfort, and the same fuel economy. On the used market, they are often cheaper too!

Mercedes R107 SL, ‘74-’89. When the R107 debuted in ‘72, it was a 172" long vehicle, even in the US. In 1974, when US bumper regulations were implemented, the length of the car jumped to 182". That’s a huge jump outright - 10"! - but especially proportionally, with no other change present but larger bumpers. Sure,…
