How was it a hoax? There was a noose, someone found the noose and alerted NASCAR, NASCAR investigated and now we have the answer.

It wasn’t a hoax. Wallace’s team didn’t plant it there and then feign outrage in an attempt to garner sympathy or support. It was there previously, as if it’s just no big deal. Which it troubling enough in its own right.

People should not have to ASK you to not be a slob. having one beater is one thing but that is way too many.  Also why buy so many  broken down cars when you still have so many left to fix! 

I realize much of this issue has to do with property values, but I’d like to pose this question: Why is it that a broken car reduces property values? (Particularly if those cars aren’t dangerous or leaky in any way). Why do people see broken (but safe) cars as “ugly”?

Ultimately, it seems like a socioeconomic thing.…

The “asshole” thing isn’t called for, though you do take several opportunities in your piece to dismiss the person who reported you as some sort of killjoy “Ebeneezer.” I have a hard time believing that you wouldn’t understand that having a dozen vehicles in various states of disrepair makes it look like there’s a…

Had to scroll through so many comments to find this!!! Where the hell is 20 grand gonna come out of??! 😂

“I’ll end up with about twenty grand in my pocket”

Is it time for an intervention David? For the love of God, just pick the best 2 and get rid of the rest of that shit! Here’s a tip; if it’s got enough rust, or body damage, that it can be seen on Google Maps? LET IT GO! And seriously, what’s with all the tires on the hoods? Are you *trying* to look like white trash?

and I don’t find broken cars to look any uglier than functional ones

They going to fix the network speeds?

The key is they cause more low speed rear end collision, but reduce high speed t-bone collisions.  A yellow light count down timer would really help things out, too.

...Except OnStar or your phone GPS already told the gov’t that you were speeding. And corroborated that it was your vehicle with the dirty plate being operated by Trump. It would take very little effort to completely enforce traffic laws in most areas. I hope this never happens.

Why? If we want to have speed limits, we need some mechanism to enforce them, or they won’t be followed. So why not have fair and objective enforcement (with reasonable and proportional penalties)?

The difference between Tesla and Apple is that Apple was always profitable and was never as vulnerable as Tesla is and will be for a long time. As soon as there is serious money to be made in mainstream electric cars, the established manufacturers will be on the market in no time at all, costing Tesla market share and…

I think the false narrative is that Tesla is far ahead on EVs. It’s simply not. EVs are not difficult. EVs are difficult to make profitably - so no one else is really doing it. And Tesla isn’t really doing it either. Tesla has no special technology. You can do the math yourself on the EPA range - Tesla simply lies…

I think Tesla’s technology lead is often overestimated.

CP for the price, $5,500 is a tad high for a 22-year old generic, midsize GM sedan. It’s in decent shape, but it’s still a late-90's Buick Regal.

My problem with the car is that $5500 is a decent chunk of money for a 22 year old domestic car. I could NP at a lower price but would be reluctant to spend $5500 for this. It’s just an average grocery getter these days. There’s nothing special about it.

Same. If a 1995 Camry XLE V6 with about the same mileage was worth $5000 when I got it in 2006 ($6358 in today’s money), there’s no way a similar vintage FWD V6 90s generic sedan is worth nearly the same money 14 whole years later.

And the cycle will complete, they will have reinvented the cartridge game.
