You couldn’t pay me enough to hand my unlocked phone to a cop, not sure why anyone would feel comfortable with that.

Trying to turn F1 into a pretty princess tea party.

Except that Bugatti already has their own dealership network.

People cling to their myths and legends, regardless of any truth or facts behind them. Columbus never set foot north of Cuba, yet he’s credited by most Americans that he discovered America. Paul Revere never yelled about the British coming. Washington’s cherry tree. Betsy Ross making the flag. And, the Wright Brothers…

No independent witnesses?  How much are the Wright Brothers paying you to say that?!

Everyone always forgets about Gustav Weisskopf’s ‘Condor’ that was flown two years before ‘Kittyhawk’.

By announcing a whole lot of funding rounds from entities not associated with them.  How many did Scout do?  Oh, that’s right.  None.

Hey, just because you’re not a chickenshit coward afraid of your own shadow and will fire at anyone or anything because you’re so paranoid doesn’t mean... er.. shit, I don’t know how to finish this sentence, so I’m just gonna end it...... here.

Oh yeah, dealerships are the sole source of problems for automakers. Because Tesla has never had any complaints about their service department.

Of course it fucking matters.  If Ford buys a brand that has no dealers they’re either going to make a new dealership network, or they’re going to sell those cars on Ford dealers.  Are there standalone Lincoln dealerships?  Maybe, but not where I live, they’re all Ford dealerships that also sell Lincolns.

Gonna be at least 4 more years before there’s any kind of real government pressure, so may as well just go back to selling ICE vehicles until someone tells these C-Suite dimwits what they should really be doing.

My cats breath smells like cat food.

There really isn’t a comparison here. Resurrecting a dead car brand and not giving its own dealer network has never really happened before, so of course VW dealers want access to the brand.

Because Aston Martin already has dealers.

Odd choice to take three brands that already have their own dealership networks, and compare that to a brand that doesn’t have its own dealership network.

Oh, right.  That makes total sense, VW buys a brand, resurrects it, and then hands it off to the former VW USA CEO, gives it billions to build a new factory, and it’s completely independent.  I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale, you might be interested in buying that bullshit, too.

“Scout is wholly independent of Volkswagen Group of America (VWGoA), its South Carolina production plant was not funded by VWGoA”

It couldn’t happen to a more deserving white supremacist.

The lack of 30 year old gas guzzlers is what is driving up the price of used cars now?

Stop trying to apply logic to Trumpism.  They’re mutually exclusive terms.
