Car dealers are one of the few retail industries with a salesperson, and that is what makes it terrible.

So why aren’t Uber and Lyft drivers just hiring on with Uber Eats, GrubHub, etc. to meet the rising food delivery demand? Why does the city need to be involved?

Someone is going to pay $12k for this so that technically makes it a nice price. But, $12K for a 90's jeep that is too nice to take off road and too crappy of an experience to enjoy as a daily driver makes it a CP.

There’s also the fact that prior to ELBs there was fudging of the paper log books on a massive scale, as evidenced by the sudden shortage of trucking space when electronic logs finally became mandatory.

Stagea R34 and R34 send their regards...  The 260RS was the ultimate Grocery Getter

“Mid 2000s to present will go down as the worst styling trend in automotive history.”

We just cancelled the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo 9 days into its 20-day run. The event attracts 2.5 million +. There is an article in today’s Houston Chronicle detailing the effect of that cancellation on everyone, including ride-sharing operators. To day they’re devastated at the loss of income during the

The good thing about getting the Coronavirus when driving for Uber is that the executives get to take 60% of it.

Suing the City of Detroit would be less lucrative than selling copies of the Quran outside a southern Baptist church. 

The guy might well be an enthusiast. Sure, those aren’t “good” cars, but they are all weird and different from your average boring car. A lot of enthusiasts appreciate cars that are for one reason or another objectively “bad” just because they did something notable or different whether it is styling or features or

Good lord no. No.

Isn't GM's MO to be innovative, bungle the launch, fix it a couple years on, then cancel it? 

it wouldn’t even be so crazy to have you order online and pickup at the dealer. From what I understand in Australia (where I live) the dealers don’t really make money of the car sales, it’s all in servicing and loan payments.. something the online model can coexist with.

No, they cannot call up the lienholder, not without your assistance and approval. They wouldn’t know with whom it was financed--not unless you tell them--and the lienholder isn’t going to release a payoff value without your consent.

Having spent a decent amount of time in LA, I LOL every time someone refers to LA’s roads as somehow being bad. That is HILARIOUS to anyone who has spent any amount of time in a city that has similar traffic and ACTUAL WEATHER. Chicago, Detroit, Boston, NYC all have terrible roads. LA??? ROFL! Are they baby butt

An Aerostar in 2020, let alone one without rusted rockers? This is truly some SoCal weather witchcraft. SoCal — where your car lasts forever, which it will need to do, because that’s how long you’ll be stuck in traffic.

“Concentrate, Samir please!!”

Sure they have. Volvo, Mercedes and others use it on trucks too. Thing is, the article doesn’t mention GPS anywhere. This is a predictive system based on analysing the road ahead and eventually using vehicle to infrastructure communication.

I’d rather have a lower mile and lower price then add the charger later knowing that it wasn’t ripped to death. 

I specifically looked for a non 4x4 for the better gas mileage
