And the dealership would’ve gotten away with that markup, too, if it hadn’t been for you meddling Jalopniks!

This car has been listed for sale since the moment ID.Buzz deliveries have started. It’s become a bit of a local joke about how greedy dealers are. Because I mean come on, it’s just a wrap. It’s not special at all.

My local church has an Astrovan all kitted out like the Mystery Machine, with the slogan “there’s no mystery, it’s God”.

That explains why my wife is happy just sitting in the garage at night....

I test drove a K4 last month before getting a new Jetta. It was very meh behind the wheel but it’s got a lot of trunk space compared to the Soul, Civic, and Corolla.

In partnership with Hitachi, Aston Martin introduces the new “Magic Wand” system for EVs. 

True, but they’re not coming in on trucks backed with cars/parts fresh from a factory.

So normally I would come on here and call conservatives a bunch of pejoratives, but I’ve had a number of social media interactions that make me think perhaps people legitimately don’t understand how economics and government budgets work. So this is going to be a rare, good-faith attempt from me to explain this stuff…

That GOP motto hasn’t applied since Reagan. Since 2015 it’s:

And nobody - NOBODY - raises prices for nonsense corollary reasons like the oil industry. Tidal wave in Philippines? Gas gets more expensive. Russia invades Ukraine? Gas gets more expensive. Gas is too expensive? Gas gets more expensive.

Stop...just stop.

Collatoral personnel damange is a problem, but the thought of Trump and Musk flying together on a hastily assembled aircraft.... I mean, I see some upside potential.

That reminds me of one of the times I was on jury duty. The cop testified “defendant held out his left hand with the drugs in the palm of it.” Defendant gets on the stand, his lawyer has the court reporter read that back to us and then asks defendant to hold up his left hand. He had a congenital birth defect where…

“You know, one day honest citizens are going to stand up to you crooked cops!”

A lot of the forensic “sciences” boil down to some dude’s Mark 1 eyeball. Forensic firearms examination (along with other tool mark comparisons) is sketch as well.

“This is pretty much the poster child scenario of why it’s NOT good for people to be as armed and paranoid as the GOP establishment wants them to be.”

I think it’s 50% being scared about everything because of a high consumption of Fox News and 50% just itching for someone to set foot on your property so you can get your gun off... also due to an over consumption of Fox News. 

Is the famous “southern hospitality” I hear so much about?

See, the problem here is that everyone assumes that they’re the good guy with a gun. And unfortunately, all those good guys are tryhards who really REALLY want to show just how good a guy they are and so the second something happens, out comes the gun and... this.
