It was pretty great at what it was built for, and that was carrying around boomers at the speed limit, so they certainly weren’t failures. 

Problem: Making the Challenger a convertible from the factory either means making it heavier than the sun, or making it somehow even less safe than it already is.

Chrysler sold the Sebring for years and that thing was a sloppy mess. The fact that they’ve been unwilling to make a factory convertible version of the Challenger must mean the chassis is REALLY bad for it (either performance or safety wise, or both).

Drive one and then you’ll buy something else.

What a ridiculous car. I wouldn’t pay a tenth of that. But I can relate to the irrational exuberance that allowed such a monstrosity to exist. If you didn’t live through the near-universal anticipation of Episode I, the urgent frenzy after we learned we’d get more Star Wars after nearly 20 years of waiting, it was…

Remember the guy that got the full back Darth Maul tattoo before the film came out - this car isnt quite that bad - but its in the running

The Empire says no.

People have been racing to angrily scrape those off now that gas is dropping.

I noticed gas prices going down, so I went and filled up my tank.  There was a little sticker of Joe Biden pointing at the price and saying "I did that".  Thanks Joe for dropping the price of gas!

I live in a more expensive area, and regular was 3.87 near me. The problem is that getting premium gas at those stations is ridiculously expensive. 

One thing that I’ve seen in my 20+ years of consumer lending is that their car payment is likely to be what causes folks’ finances to spiral the fastest.

Exactly. In 2008 it was reckless investment banks that had overleveraged themselves through pure greed to a magnitude that they would have collapsed the financial system, via the insolvency of their insurers, so they all got bailed out. Today’s crisis is a result of too many overextended households getting caught up…

My wife and I paid off our cars early back in June so we can focus on my student loans when we have to go back to paying them. When that is I don’t know but it seems like a lot of people might have a heavy burden ahead of them.

Repossessions are low because the tow trucks that would have repossessed them were themselves reposed.

Brooklyn had a couple of highly rad cars out yesterday 

A Lancia Delta HF Integrale!

Some more pictures of the body kit... Does not look that different from the Mercedes-AMG EQS53 in the bottom picture, maybe they just lowered it?...

“Rivian is spending a lot of money upfront to save money later, but you know how investors are — every quarter has to have record returns.”

Porsche is notorious for underrating horsepower on their vehicles, so let’s assume the Taycan Turbo S actually makes closer to 700-800 at full tilt instead of the 616 it claims. That’s still 200 HP less than the Tesla. Damn impressive, but not unsurprising from a company like Porsche.
