Sounds just like the Donk and Lowrider meets/cruises around here. They’re probably the closest thing to a perfect car culture there is, don’t endanger the public, no gate keeping, it’s 100% about personal expression, everybody is welcome and at least around here there’s sort of a moratorium on any kind of gang beefs…

Yep, this is definitely a “Little bit of column A, little bit of column B” situation. This guys is absolutely a problem, and likely would have killed somebody on the roads eventually, but he killed those people right there and then because of H20i.

I imagine the smaller dealerships will shoot for the “Certified” tier, so for them it’s only $500k. They also stand to benefit most from the fix pricing scheme Ford is pushing as they don’t sell the kind of volume it takes for a dealer to be able to aggressively slash prices, nor are they generally located in an…

$1.2m isn’t nearly as much as you think it is when it comes to bringing in an entirely new type of vehicle sales and support infrastructure. Toyota dealers had to spend nearly that much to make separate Scion “dealerships”.  Ford wants to compete with the new generation of car companies that offer a much better dealer…

What’s the badge say on all of them?

You’d think that, as an automotive website, the chuckleheads around here would at least know that Range Rover is a model name, and Land Rover is the brand. This article made my brain hurt.

I would argue with you, but given the state of Ca’s high speed rail project, I think you may have understated just how bad we are at it.

Same/same IMHO. Street racing was also a thing before Discovery started the show, and that’s where they found the “talent”. If anything they nerfed the danger out of it to some extent while exploiting the danger for entertainment purposes. I’m willing to be there’s more than a little ginned up drama on deadliest…

Not a stretch at all to say this classifies as murder, she engaged in an activity where death of another is an obvious outcome. Driving at triple digit speeds on public roads resulting in the death of another would qualify IMHO. Fairly certain they charge street racers with murder, and I know for a fact you can be…

Doesn’t Discovery have an entire show based on the premise of people dying to catch crabs? Doubt this moved the needle.

Possibly, though as a lawyer you risk being disbarred for fucking over your client, no matter how much they’ve pissed you off. Generally you’re required to continue to represent them zealously even if they can’t pay you, or you grow to hate them. More probably he simply wasn’t able to find an actual good lawyer that…

I don’t know that I’d be quite that doom and gloom about it, Tesla looked every bit as doomed as Rivian or Fisker at certain points and they’re somehow still thriving. Rivian has a few things Fisker lacked, products with mass appeal, and both Tesla and Fisker as case studies on how to make an EV start-up work or…

Who named it? I need their name and address so I can send them an award for dumbest car name of the decade. 

No, but do know somebody trying to buy a Raptor and none of the dealers he’s talked to will budge on price, including the local one. Presumably that means they’re not willing to sell them for less, and since inventory keeps changing, I suspect they’re getting what they’re asking.

Not sure they screwed anything up at all. I’d wager that every prospective Raptor R owner currently owns a regular Raptor. Selling 2 trucks is better than selling 1. By letting Dodge into the game, they now have a benchmark to beat. The Raptor was the best truck, but one could always claim it was only best because it…

Nah, they’ll be sold for much, much more than that. Local dealer was getting $135k for a v6 Raptor as of 3 months ago, I imagine these will be on their lot for $175k, and they’ll get it.

What’s wild is that he thought he was the most important actor in Iron Man. That’s almost as crazy is this hydrogen theory

To be fair, Ca has far more outages and requests that we do XYZ in the off hours than Texas. Different root causes, but same problem. At some point we should quit lying about our readiness and actually get ready for EVs

Is Tesla’s stock price, and in turn it’s value to investors, in any way linked to building cars?

I believe they’ll build it, butdon’t believe that the Cybertruck is supposed to sell in any significant volume. I think it’s a hype machine designed to finance the development of a larger platform that will ultimately become a more normal truck, a van, and maybe a large SUV as well (although the X is pretty large, and…
