Why are you pretending this article is outside of the system and not part of the problem?

My Costco specifically has the long hoses that can reach either side. Mine is on the driver’s side but 98% of the time I end up on the opposite pump pulling the hose across.

It used to be every time I saw a cloud of blue smoke chugging down the roadway it was an Intrepid. But now I don’t think I’ve seen an Intrepid in a decade.

You’re right, the Korean cars are much faster than the bubble-era stuff, and for a fraction of the price.

Is this related to my Costco taquitos getting recalled?

The whole article doesn’t make sense because they’re comparing the average price of an EV, a PHEV, or a normal Hybrid. They’re not actually listing out the premium automakers charge for the same model in a PHEV version, which is much more relevant. For example, the base Prius Prime lists at $5k more than the base

The local Fleet Farm has an employee that drives a Ford EcoSport with a license plate that says “DJTMAGA” on it. 

The footage 100% looks like a Black Mirror episode where they digitally removed the attackers so that everyone would think this guy was a crazy idiot.

I’m not sure what you think Ray-Bans are, but you’re thinking of either wraparounds like Oakleys (over 30 years old) or those horrible baseball player ski goggle Pit Vipers (under 30 years old).

I’ll defend Doug’s writing to the death. I’ve watched maybe 20 seconds of YouTube Doug and will absolutely not touch the stuff.

Anything that’s been optimized for YouTube is going to be abhorrent to a normal person.

Wait...did the Truck Hierarchy article get taken down already??

Just here to say this is the kind of snarky killjoy sh*t that’s massively turning me off from this site.

In this case it’s not about picking the perfect stock, but how the simple market average always beats a car as an investment.

Every time one of these “cars as an investment” cases comes up I always have to do the math. Invest the original $565,000 purchase price in 2011 in just the Dow Average, which has averaged 10.3% annualized. Today you’d have over $2mil.

AI wrote the article? No one with a brain did a sanity check on the numbers? There’s a KBB article that makes the same mistake, quoting current used car values as original MSRP.

Yes, that’s how you’d mechanically overrev an engine.
