Yeah, there are a lot of people who manage to have a fair amount of engineering expertise without the basic science education you’d think would support that. That guy who crashed a rocket to “prove” Earth is flat is another example. He was able to make several viable rockets before the fatal crash.

The guy who “proved” 1x1=2 is one of the smartest people in Hollywood?

Thank you for posting the proof. I really enjoy that the “Sky People” gave us bad math to keep us down and that it is included as part of this proof. Also, that he has included conservation of energy and “universal equilibrium” in his attack on multiplication.

1. Invoice price became a bad tip as soon as it became trivially easy to find invoice price. Volume dealers “pay” a certain amount, per invoice. The invoice generally includes dealer holdback. The dealers make incentives based on numbers sold. After all is said and done, the invoice price is not actually what the…

You don’t really hear it inside of most EVs/PHEVs, and it ensures people can hear you and not step out in front of your moving vehicle. I really hope they do not make it easy to disable the safety warning.

But the only reason why you should No Dice it is because whoever drives it with the top down looks like damned fool for wasting their money on such an ugly car

Yeah, that or even just look at all their numbers.

I went to a used car dealer to trade in my Explorer on something smaller. They took my keys to look at the trade, and I found a Suzuki hatchback I liked. It had a weird rattle in the exhaust. Salesman says it’s just a little loose and is an easy fix.

I’ve had a few pretty traditional bad dealership experiences (“we’ll fix that after you buy it”; reluctance to give back keys), but my most atypical bad one:

I want it, but do not have garage space. And I mostly want it so I can call it my “off-roadster.”

If I had the money to have/store something like this, I’d go for it. An off-roadster seems like a lot of fun.

Holy crap, that is too much money. Might be worth it without that 1 up front, but I’d probably still pass at $8500.

Am I also crazy for thinking the whole idea of ‘owning a car purely for fun’ might be more wasteful than owning one for daily use.

I reserved an EV6, but I cancelled when I saw the cost for the first edition. I reserved an F150 Lightning, but cancelled when they wouldn’t let me order the Pro with extended battery. I reserved a Canoo, but I don’t know if they’ll ever deliver. I reserved a Silverado, and I will wait to see the configurator to…

I know that the termination is legal, but I have spent much of my adult life in places that would have never fired people for this. It was an open letter to the executive team about the problems with the CEO. It got out to the press. None of it was shocking to anyone, much less any sort of release of company secrets.

familiar and also new at the same time

What happens if it rains?

Could be that they keep the employee(s) busy, too. Hard to notice the rig out there filling too long if you have a couple people bothering the attendant or looking obviously suspicious.

Hard to say. I just looked at a Dodge pickup (and I live where pickups are very popular), and the seller had 3-4 no-shows over the course of a couple weeks. I didn’t buy mostly because of what were likely very minor issues and my lack of familiarity with Dodge mechanicals. Sometimes, the ad just doesn’t find the…
