I would if Alfa could keep their dealerships from going out of business long enough for me to stop by.

Plugging the car in is outside the Rolls Royce’s ultra luxury image? What kind of magic trick do the current cars do to get gasoline into them? Or does the average Rolls Royce customer just throw the car away when the tank from the dealership runs dry?

My Audi A4 which had a not-too-dissimilar 1.8T engine went kaput before 100,000 miles, but that was probably my fault.

Some parts of Arkansas are beautiful. Those parts are not in NE Arkansas, unfortunately.

The difference in interior quality between the 2012 Sportage and the 2016 and 2018 Sorentos we had was night and day (and our Sorentos were nearer to the bottom-end models than to the top).

Yikes (though Houston is a good nine hours or so from Amarillo itself).

My favorite is still the E30, but I’m very old.

I mean, the body-colored center part of the grille and the number plate are an improvement, but it’s still not made it’s way all the way to attractive or even “it’ll only take a couple of beers to find this hot”

Yeah, we were coming from Amarillo, and it was a significant drive - like a good 5 hours.

I’ve only seen one here in Texas, and judging by the traffic, I don’t think people have given up driving here all that much.

Hardware is great in a growing market, but you want to have a piece of the monthly fees for when the hardware part of the market matures and you can’t make a living off only selling a new box to someone every couple of years.

This guy named Mel who owned a diner outside Phoenix who bought a good-as-new Porsche 924 for $20 from a lady who looked suspiciously like Elvira several years back. The car ended up getting stolen and stripped, and since he bought cheap insurance, they were only willing to pay him the price that he’d paid for the car

When I was growing up and we’d go visit Angel Fire and Red River about half the houses would have Texas flags flying from them.

I only got rid of my 2016 Jetta manual because the lease was up.

I don’t disagree, though I have a ‘19 Tiguan, and it’s not that small. It’s like Sportage sized (actually nine inches longer), and Kia sells two SUVS and a Soul that are smaller.

I’ve found that one at a time is plenty, but you’re own experience may vary.

For many years, I only had one watch, a decently nice/shiny one my Dad had given me when I graduated. I wore it everywhere with everything because it was the watch that I had. It never would have occurred to me that not dressing to match the dressiness of my only watch would be suspicious.

40 seconds of de-escalation, huh?

Realistic doesn’t get the press that boosts the stock price and drives outside investment. Just doing even a slightly average job well is too boring.

I can’t imagine they’d have posted a similar “joke” about, let’s say, corporate managers like:
