That’s an alarmingly obvious answer. Only problem is that all of the Sportwagen’s left are so far below his budget, it begs the question: Does he want to save money, or does he actually want 30-40 grand worth of car? You’d be hard pressed to even find an Alltrack selling for more than $30k.

Man who everyone is supposed to believe is a genius actually isn’t smart enough to refrain from public statements relating to whacking a public official. Like mentioning the word “bomb” in airport security and then being upset you are getting additional screening.

And then at the end of that, your new boss is the eccentric goofball that was Sergio Marchionne. God love him, but working for that guy had to be an adventure.

every chrysler exec that allowed this to happen should have been executed

What’s funny is that its racist in the passive-aggressive boomer Karen kind of way. The guy running a sport obsessed with its own opulence... is basically a suburban white woman in her 50's.

Literal lakefront property isn’t really the point, it’s that if we really do live out the climate change doomsday, only the wealthy will be able to live within 500 miles of the worlds biggest and most reliable source of clean drinking water, while everyone else drinks well water with iron and lead in it.

You are exactly right, hence the part of my comment you omitted regarding going to such a place at your own risk. Again, we’re back to the issue of CO2 being a fundamentally different animal than all the other bad shit: Even though it accounts for most of a tailpipe emissions, the other stuff like NOx, CO, C2O2, and…

I’ll put what they said a little more politley:

Furthermore, the most heavily weighted piece of the equation is impacted by whether or not the state has emissions testing or road-worthiness exams. Michigan insurance is really expensive, but they will give you tags for literally anything you have a title for.

Advertising is one way to say, but I’d say its more so that there’s a group of people that absolutely cannot wait to get their hands on these things. My intuition is that its small.

People poked a lot of fun at the FCA merger but that could like, sort of be rationalized. This ungodly Stellantis thing? I’m convinced the entire determination process was a bunch of executives from both orgs sitting at a table all repeating to each other:

The real comedy here is that I bet Musk had no idea you could do this. He moved heaven and earth to make a grade of SS steel that was cheap enough for production but also wouldn’t corrode too quickly. Turns out they could have just wrapped standard automotive steel for a fraction of the engineering/material cost, and…

Nailed it. GMT800 platform with less than 200k and no visible rust is a rare great find. Assuming the trans was maintained, this is probably the most reliable and comfortable transportation you could find for 7 grand. I’m sitting here drooling looking at the state of that interior.

Was the 4L65 more of a problem than the for 4L60? I know the latter was good to 300k with maintenance, and everything I read about the former was that it was built to be even more robust (although it would be extremely GM for those “improvements” to have somehow made it worse.)

I don’t think you should assume the racing partnership has much bearing on the consumer product front. The racing side of it is good publicity, but not really the point.

Seconded. I remember the first year after the Trump election was actually a really good listen most of the time. I particularly remember him putting Ben Shapiro, Stephen Crowder, and Candace Owens in the crosshairs over climate change and gay marriage views and making them all very flustered.

“You think negative review about a car as a new company is forming isn’t a big deal?”

I would tack on that the C8 is such a departure from the “traditional” Corvette, a lot of the traditional customer base that isn’t interested in them. There’s gotta just be less demand for them secondhand in general. 

I also love that they are talking about a review of a vehicle that probably shares almost nothing with anything Tesla produces today. Like, why is anyone re-deliberating a product from the company’s infancy? What a strange thing to have such strong feelings about.

Chris Harris is one of the few people that I might have actually held my nose and listened to a Rogan episode to hear speak in an informal setting. But knowing there is still a bunch of Tesla shilling going on by Rogan? Blech, hard pass.
