I have and yeah, it’s ridiculous. Meanwhile we (not me specifically) go to actual sit down restaurants and pay for food stuffed with more salt and sodium than 50 Australian lifetimes worth of Vegemite. I'm from the Midwest where salt is essentially the only seasoning at half the domestic and commercial kitchens. 

Chevy, BMW, Toyota, Subaru (I believe), FCA through MOPAR, and I’m all but positive that Honda does. Nissan is offering things with Nismo. All authorized factory built performance mods that don’t void the warranty.

“But that is part of the appeal of the premium car - you can have it your way (though not as much as in the past)." considering they have far more models in the past decade than any time in the past (when you claim there was more choice) you're contradicting that statement and your entire argument. 

White American cuisine is so boring even the English would ask for a bit more flavor.

A car that’s faster, quicker, better handling, more reliable, has better materials, better fit and finish, and better build quality than virtually every vehicle that’s existed until that point, with technology which they literally could only find in science-fiction, and a sound system better than what all but the…

1: Thousands upon thousands of VW electric and diesel vehicles are purchased with government subsidies. They may be their own corporation, but they definitely have direct partnerships with numerous governments.

1: You have the absolute freedom to read whatever you want. That includes not reading this. Especially if you hate it every time. Is it anti-intellectual sadomasochism?

“An Audi A4/5 has the same level of fit and finish, is quicker, feels more lively, and won’t result in any guilt about buying from Geely.” uhhhh, there’s quite a few shitty things VW has done throughout it’s history, and you can separate Audi from VW as much as you can Volvo from Geely.

“It honestly sounds like Bamco thinks the F&F fanbase will eat it up." are you suggesting F&F fans have ever been concerned with quality? 

Nirvana is WAY too current of a band for them to listen to. Damn whippersnappers.  

“By most accounts, you need to ingest a lot of this virus to get sick from it, so that means either prolonged exposure (like say being near the same infected person for several days, or being near lots of infected people several times a day.)“ Where in the world did you hear this?

“So you’re agreeing with me. It has improved. Average is perfectly fine." welp, this IS America, so that's certainly the prevailing opinion!

You say that, yet this was just posted today on this very same website.

Those decrying this as desecration are the same who hate classics not being driven and who hate "liberals" for regulating old vehicles off the road. Well, this could address both of those issues. Yet they hate this just as much. You really can't please some people. 

Is the pink slip his old asshole? 

I’m not even here to bitch about the price, though the US auto market is absurdly overpriced and lacking in any basic trim vehicle. But holy shit are people jumping on TommyK154 simply to defend price gouging. Wow, keep licking that corporate boot!

I didn’t notice the price until I saw someone’s comment about it. They’ll be holding onto this for a while at this price. Maybe the owner doesn’t actually want to get rid of it, and that price is their way of keeping it?

Take ALL of my internet points for the Letterkenny reference!

Get back to me with studies involving 125k people gathering outside. Such as the spring break gatherings which . . . resulted in record case numbers. . . 

The hacker community is notorious for targeting owners of small motorcycle dealerships in the bible belt to falsely paint them as racists. Or, and I know this is hard to imagine, Harley Davidson riding and Confederate Flag waving good ol' boys in the bible belt are actually racist? Maybe??
