I loathe that motherfucker. He’s deliberately spreading hate and disinformation. The difference between Smith and Poilievre is that she’s dumber than a sack of hammers. She tries to pander, says something dumb, backtracks, apologizes, and lather rinse repeat. She’s a moron. He on the other hand, knows exactly what…

Don’t forget Poilievre. He’s like a nerdy male Danielle Smith.

Oh my friend. Between Didulo, Atur Pawlowski, Danielle Smith, the Diagolon idiots, and a significant percentage of the population that voted for the People’s Party of Canada in the last federal election... the crazy is strong up here. 

I currently drive a ‘97 Silverado, and can confirm: I feel like I’m driving a Festiva anytime I pull up next to one at a stoplight. lol

You could see the tires. From underneath the new one.

Yeah you couldn’t see it behind the current smallest Silverado you can buy today lol.

I’m not voting on this one

Great condition, not modded up. Just too much money. It’s a truck, with lotsa miles, no cab storage. ND - not going to reward a runaway used market. $8500 and we’ll talk.

Maybe Ford has decided to take a page from Ferrari; by intentionally constraining Maverick supply as a way to keep the prices high and the dealerships happy (no discounts/mark ups). It will work out for Ford so long as people are willing to wait for their Maverick (or pay those dealer mark ups).

The fact that all auto makers stopped offering small trucks for the U.S. market, tells you that everyone misunderstood the buying public. I guess when you consider how popular big trucks are (even though more than 90% of owners don’t need them), I could potentially see how execs were fooled.

I have no idea how Ford could have foreseen this problem. I mean make a vehicle that is:

“And there was great rejoicing” said every Ford dealership. If anyone thinks the dealer mark up isn’t going to go up, I want some of what you’re imbibing.

Fuck off dude, the guy walked into Stewart’s car. 

I am both astonished and not at all surprised that one could think that riding a moped in violation of motor vehicle regulations is comparable, in any possible way, under any possible circumstances, to the state using a 5,000 pound vehicle in a manner that is extraordinarily likely to kill a man.

One asshole isn’t deliberately trying to kill the other.

This is attempted Murder. End of story. Unless the moped rider was shooting at people or endangering others, there’s no excuse for this behavior. The cop needs to be behind bars.

I’m not sure what’s worse. The $5000 markup over MSRP, or the fact that a $25k vehicle tries to be sold for $50k.

Dealer pricing is something that has always completely escaped me. We pay a fixed price for virtually all other new items, why on earth does a new car have to be haggled over? Even new-construction homes generally follow a fixed price.

It’s not the dealers colluding to a fixed price. It is an agreement between Ford and their dealers on a sales practice and they have the right to do that as the Franchisor. 

I factory ordered my Land Rover Defender in 2021. Waited six months and then picked it up at the dealer. Built exactly the way I wanted and paid MSRP. Fine by me and was the least stressful car buying experience I have ever had. It worked for me because a dealer would never order the build I selected so I was…
