Quoth Wikipedia: “A coupe or coupé (/kuːˈpeɪ/, also US: /kuːp/) is a passenger car with a sloping or truncated rear roofline and two doors”. Oh my god I fucking hate Kinja.

but there’s one clear loser” Oh, she’s a loser, all right.

Um, is Stellantis really a “US manufacturer”? The corporation is a US-Italian-French conglomerate HQ’d in the Netherlands...?

They were originally spec’d to last 24 years, which was later extended to 30. So they’re doing all right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_LLV#Production

“The smell of pee, pot, and gasoline” would make a killer country album title. Or at least a lyric. Yes, but it would be a lyric from a ‘90s Tool song instead.

Oh yeah, that guy looks like an upstanding citizen and a good neighbor too, I’ll bet.

His personally weird behavior is annoying enough. But I’m even more annoyed by his apparent belief that he and Tesla are too cool for school when it comes to how to design a car, and don’t need to take any cues from the rest of the industry that’s been doing this for over 100 years. Things like having no instrument

They apparently have some pretty fancy cars. Maybe they should sell them.

“Takeover”? You misspelled “riot”.
