Quick, someone send that driver a Jalopnik sticker, and a hood with a cougar that says “me”!

It is honestly hard to tell sometimes. Is he really this stupid and incompetent? Or is he going for the long con and playing us all for fools?

You’re trying way too hard. Either he’s spiting Chuck Schumer, or he sees this as a “brilliant” form of leverage to get Schumer to agree to some other deal. Never mind that he’s yet to get Schumer on board with anything and has repeatedly torpedoed deals Schumer would have agreed to.

You definitely sound like someone I want to buy a car from. And by “buy a car from” I mean “punch in the nuts”.

Fuck off. I hate being in car dealerships. I hate negotiating; not because I’m a pussy but because I hate the lies and “I gotta talk to my manager” garbage. I don’t have the patience for it. I generally hate the bullshit car sales people spew. I guarantee I know more about the car I want to buy than the sales guy…

What does it benefit a dealer to send an itemized quote via email?

Dude, elsewhere in the business world competitive bids are sent, deals are negotiated, and contracts are signed for many many millions of dollars all via email. Why should buying a car be any different.

Coming into the dealership is why people go online. No one has all damn day to “negotiate like a man” at 7 dealerships to get the price they are looking for. A test drive plus dealing with a sales manager and getting a 4square sheet made is 1 to 1.5 hours minimum. If i can send an email and get a good price without…

B8 S4s and their related A5, A6, A7, SQ5, and Q7s have proven to be reliable. The 3.0T and ZF 8 speed/DSG combo is a fantastic combo.

But does it come with Audi’s legendary unreliability from 10 years ago?

I’ll admit that the 3.0 is a reliable motor if you can admit that the 4.2 is a boat anchor as soon as the word “timing” arises. Let’s not even get started with the 2.7. As someone who has owned 4 used Land Rovers, I wouldn’t even take an Audi Allroad if it were free.

The 3,0 supercharged engine has proven itself to be bulletproof.

I doubt that will stop people...

I read this as two separate but inextricable statements.

In 2017, GM sold 217,000 Sierras. If each Sierra gets 0.15% better fuel economy because of a 62 lb weight savings, the fleet economy number will improve fairly meaningfully.

I thought I’d heard it’s a carbon reinforced thermoplastic, which will be incredibly tough. Too bad the outer fenders are still steel and will rust out in under 10 years.

but without the rich Corinthian leather!

Psst! *looks around, leans in* None of this is supposed to accomplish anything. He’s just trying to look busy and important until the whole thing blows over

And do what exactly? Tell them they can’t make violent games anymore? Let’s just get rid of violent movies or tv shows then. Or here’s a novel idea: revise gun laws so a random teenager can’t buy it off the street and shoot his school to pieces.

Good that you became acquainted with your car, I’m sure that V10 is jammed in there, ha. Were you out of warranty by that point? I’m amazed that misfires could be caused with that little amount of buildup, I’d suspect a glitchy coil or plug initially, not that I’m doubting your findings. I had misfires once because I…
