So, by that argument, if someone were to shoot these murdering executives in the head and they died instantly, it seems it would barely register as a crime? They died instantly, so all’s OK! Of course, the real suffering here if the poor executives having to pay expensive lawyers to weasel out of any kind of…

They buy the things because they’re selfish cowards. Appeasing their fears falls under the hierarchy of needs, which takes precedence over concern for others. For many, empathy is a luxury for those with fulfilled needs. That’s giving credit for the higher thinking capacity necessary to understand consequences of…

Yeah, that’s rich. Maybe not among some obscene country club set, but you’re in the 1% of 1% of the world population as am I. And I could claim the same “self-made” nonsense and for similar reasons, plus in spite of a sociopathic father I was lucky I didn’t have to kill to protect others, but good for us working and…

Exactly, they don’t “want” to move them in a smaller car—they can, but they feel entitled to more. You should see what people in countries with even bigger families that aren’t full of entitled wusses get around with because they have to.

How many of these concerned people as pedestrians are also the assholes not paying attention when they’re driving?

Are you confusing them with McLarens in general that aren’t Murray’s cars? If not, which Murray cars are you referring to? The Formula 1 cars for which reliability is not expected, the Rocket that there is only a handful of and is basically a 4-wheel motorcycle, or the McLaren F1, known for endurance race wins and…

Underrated tires and usually can be had for a really good deal!

People who buy HR-Vs care about looks? It might look different, but the last one was also ugly as hell and sold well, so I’m in doubt of aesthetics being the reason for sales drop unless the eunuchs who buy these parade floats have a fondness for a very particular kind of ugly.

I guess that this is Dodge answers my following question, but why does this need to project outwards beyond some minimal pedestrian awareness requirement? If the driver wants sound feedback accompanying throttle input change, then the driver is the only one who needs to hear it on the inside of the car, not people…

Sloth and Good Boy graphics. Not sure if I would keep it simple or cover it with different scenes. I guess it would depend on the cost since I’d have to get them printed on vinyl—painting them myself would be beyond my ability.

My old boss was bombarded with emails, so he would skim, missing important information even in simple bullet format. Adding dry humor to the emails made them longer to read, but he would actually read them. Small sample size, sure, but so’s the one used to reach the conclusion put up by The National Academy of “Science…

Who is suggesting that? Is this a reply to someone else? The DeLorean—as commented multiple times here—was SS over composite.

So’s working with 3mm thick SS and the production of it. He could get the same effect from only using it as a decorative finishing skin. And it only eliminates a paint shop if it’s built in its own factory, not in one shared with cars that require painting. Not only that, they’re eliminating a cheap and easy way to…

The panels are supposed to be 3mm thick. What cost savings are there other than with production ones self-imposed by the abjectly stupid plan in the first place? The whole idea for this should have been a throwaway drunken “what if?” conversation. If this asswipe just wanted SS (because of the common abbreviation’s…

Because the stainless steel was only a finishing skin over composite with the DeLorean and Middle School Musk intends on building his stupertruck out of the stuff, including really thick body panels (I forget the measurement—3mm, maybe?—it was something absurd that made me laugh when I first read it).

And too dumb to look into how DeLorean used it—as a skin over composite panels.

I said the same thing when my Focus ST blew a smoke screen at 180k. No sign of head gasket, so figured turbo coolant seal. Replaced that—which took a month to get—and no fix. WTF, a cracked block?! How? Nope, found the TSB that lists 2.0 and under Ecoboost engines in pretty much every application except Focus ST (I…

Damn, that’s rough! I get feeling bad about dumping it, but it’s not your responsibility to fight the billion-dollar corporation that screwed up to get them to make it right. Plus, the next person will probably never buy another Ford again after what’s coming, either. Ford had their chance to make it right and chose…

Yeah, I was interested in a Maverick hybrid, but it seems the waiting list is measured in evolutionary timelines. Worked out well for me, but it wasn’t Ford who got my money (not that it was a high profit item).

Thieves with USB sticks rejoice! Finally something worthy of the term “joyride”!
