Harley is the only one of those listed companies that I would actually like to see go away.
Hertz isn’t great but they are not actively a horrid company with worse dealers and even worse customers. 

Cold setting has a proper name: plastic deformation You are stressing the material past its yield point so that when it relaxes it takes a permanent deformation. this will work much better on a steel frame than an aluminum one.

David, we like you around here. With the cars you like, please drive UNDER the speed limit at all times. We don’t want to see you killed. Can your cars even go faster than the speed limit?

“Safe” is subjective and relative.

Anyone want to place the following bets:

Tears For Lower-Tiered Startups

Because a significant number of small businesses operate on very low margins (or their supply chain does). Many don’t make enough profit to have a rainy day fund. Those that do may only keep a month to six months worth (while assuming lower revenue). Having no revenue at all come in will very quickly eat through that.

The simplest way for Ford to get my money would be to make a car I want to buy. But they cancelled all those in an attempt to sell EcoSports, so I’m not in danger of buying a Ford any time soon.

“in a market that can’t get enough of big and stupid SUVs."

If I have enough money to buy this why wouldn’t I spend it on a P1 or a LaFerarri or a Chiron or _ or _ or _?

“Isuzu was SOOOO ahead of the ball on the SUV craze in America, but it still didn’t keep them from pulling out of the north american market.”

What kind of “experts” don’t suggest a Honda Accord Sport 2.0T which is a similar motor to the Type R.   Comes in a Manual Transmission and is a great family sedan and what I’d expect would be Honda reliability. 

I find your lack of a GTI on this list disturbing.

As someone whose office just got renovated recently to a more “open concept”, it’s really not as good as a lot of people want to think.  I do like that we actually refreshed the interior to a cohesive theme instead of the years and years of additions and moved walls and mismatched carpet, but open concept means you…
