Why would I buy this? I want people to know I’m a douchebag asshole on first sight of my electric truck. I don’t want them to have to guess. Cybertruck is the only guarantee.

Yeah, it’d be over 5 times mine if not for property tax/insurance escrow, but we also bought it 20 years ago.

I did taxes and financial statements for a BHPH dealership for a few years, and I was amazed at how many repos they had (and also how much mark-up there was on the cars they sold and how quickly they made a profit even with cars that were eventually repoed)

When I was 16 in 1987, I tried to put $10 worth of gas in my car, and the 14 gallon gas tank wouldn’t hold that much and I didn’t do the math ahead of time (plus, I didn’t know how much was in the tank at the time. I just knew the gauge was on or near empty). 

I’ve seen an actual Envista in my suburban town. More than once even. It could still be a hoax, but at least Buick is putting enough effort into the hoax to have one driving around suburban Dallas.

My mother in law has a Forte. The fit and finish on it is pretty nice as cheap cars go, and it drives fine. It rattles less than my Cadillac.

It’s definitely an improvement in the looks department over the previous model.

I have seen one in Plano, Texas. Only saw it once.

Don’t worry, the Legislature will swoop in and cut more school funding. That will solve the problem.

Right.

My Dad had one of these circa 2007. It was not a happy ownership experience for him, or so he says.

So they’re saying that they needed actions from a fearless crew in order to prevent the Bayesian from being lost and so they could possibly end up on shore of an unchartered desert isle where they eventually open a hotel where the Harlem Globetrotters play a game against a bunch of robots while the host of Supermarket…

With a pattern of events to show that it was foreseeable that something bad could happen, it doesn’t seem like quite as big of a stretch as it could be in charging parents for kids’ behavior. With documented cases of not only her knowing that he was driving at dangerously high speeds and that she was aware that such…

And the Lyriq sold more and it still has Carplay.

I mean, only the most-recent GM EVs lack Carplay. The rest of the line-up still has it. The first non-Carplay GM vehicle was the 2024 Blazer EV. Between the Blazer EV, Equinox EV, and Silverado EV (the 2024 Lyriq still had Carplay as recently as the 2024 model, we’re talking only a very small portion of GM’s sales…

The Equinox EV starts at a lower price than the cheapest Tesla and even the ID.4 starts at about the same price as the lowest-priced Tesla , going by MSRPs anyway (there don’t seem to be base models of the Equinox near me, but the ones on the lot are also being discounted, apparently).

They appear to already being doing that in many towns.

Before Red Light cameras were made illegal altogether in Texas, the tickets they issued were civil citations that were different than regular traffic tickets. So if you didn’t pay, they could ruin your credit or hold your registration, but they couldn’t arrest you.

That story actually improves my opinion of Clarence Birdseye.

I guess I would put Holmes in a different category than Musk. Holmes had a business that was entirely a fraud. Her reputation quickly went south after that fraud was exposed.
