I have a feeling economy cars will be around - as they disappear from new car listings, used ones become ever more desirable to those of us on a budget, wise enough not to buy a cheap luxury car.

That is a thousand times worse. It is actually painful to look at.

That’s the answer I wanted. I even searched for their price list online before I posted, as I was curious if he was buying some crazy special coffee like that indonesian stuff that’s been pooped out by civets, but the internet gave me nothing.

No, apparently it’s a bikini coffee shop. Then you are paying for more than just coffee, and the price is fully justified. Aside from the fact that he’s been coming there repeatedly, so he wasn’t hit with a surprise bill, either.

Unlikely to have been scrapped; at least aluminum is eminently reusable. Still an utterly pointless waste of effort and energy and material and so on.

I literally cannot think of a single positive thing to say about this.

It’s funny to me when Tesla Stans celebrate the profit levels of Tesla - they are only making huge profits because you are overpaying, right?

Bit of an escalation, but I ain’t mad at her.

I think this was more a case of “F em and ship, I have so much at stake on this thing finally making it into customers’ hands.” The money from the sales of these jokes is incidental.

Well, since 40% percent of the country will never call him on his idiocies and the other candidate is a geriatric genocide supporter I guess we are stuck.

This one must have been written by AI; same odd types of hallucination and vaguely alarmist, unfounded statements.

He makes bonkers promises on the spot - he just promised to remove income taxes from tips, clearly just an impulsive statement with no basis in reality or any actual plan.

To me that was painfully obvious the first time I heard of it. I laughed in the face of the dude who was all surprised that his insurance went up (Contractor, hyper aggressive in fully equipped crew cab pickup truck in NYC). I drive a slow car and I have hypermiling tendencies, so I think I’d actually save money, but…

We all had a Mr. Krevis. Did he ever hand you guys one of those tests with quadrants and you found out you were a libertarian?

“Just over two years on the market and something about the XM seems to keep buyers away”

Small, passing interactions while walking home from the train and when I bump into my neighbors are quite nice. If we had a better work-life balance, I think we would be more interested in having more friends and so on.

I recently moved into a house, but thank goodness it’s in a suburb established around the turn of the century (no, I mean around 1900, young whippersnapper). We have small lots, walkable streets, a very busy and vibrant main street, usable sidewalks and hordes of grade schoolers riding bicycles everywhere. It’s…

I glimpsed one in the back lot of some sort of fire department repair area; not sure if that counts. Also saw one on the lawn at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, which was embarrassing.

The Coriasco Familiare, a custom-made station wagon version of the 127 uses the taillights from the Renault 6. Obscure on top of obscure with a little obscurity on top.

Right?! The second one auction ends they copy-paste the description for the next auction, changing the text from 400 to 300 miles or whatever.
