So much for Ford’s “Quality Is Job 1" slogan. More like “Kuality”.

Obligatory reference to Risky Business:

Another squid making all other motorcycle riders look bad. I see similar behavior here in the Bay Area. All it takes is one move from a car, hitting a wet patch, etc. and it’s game over.

San Francisco is pretty bad - the police don’t enforce anything and everyone knows it. People breeze through red lights and stop signs all the time.

Obligatory:

A colleague had an 850CSi coupe - great car but it was a maintenance nightmare. It had 2 of everything which cost $$$

Agreed!

Obligatory:

Yeah old news - this has been a thing for years. You’re probably spot on that someone in Congress was impacted by this and decided to selectively enforce this.

We have a similar thing here in the Bay Area - people living on boats for the same reason.

I recently did some international travel from Asia to the US, and no forms needed on either end. I almost always expect a form for the US, but this time it was literally 10 seconds - walked up, handed over my passport, was asked what I had, and then I was gone.

Yeah - there are a lot of great small cars outside of the US that I wish they sold here, as those would be selling like hotcakes. Every car here is just ridiculously oversized for no reason. I miss those 80's-90's small crapwagons that were great for mileage, cheap, and relatively reliable.

A nice selection of cars in this list.

+MAX_INT for this comment!

I’m surprised someone hasn’t done that yet, however that would cause a lot of collateral damage, which wouldn’t be good. Then the Feds will get involved.

Any small cheap and reliable car that would be a good fit as a daily driver.

“The company could face fines of $500 to $100,000 if it fails to argue its case successfully.”

I always bring hand sanitizer and baby wipes for cleaning up surfaces because they’re gross. Same with the bathrooms. As for the water, I usually get bottled water or another beverage instead.

I laughed at this more than I should have. Well done!

If a company has the money to do stock buybacks, then they have the money for R&D. Nothing like propping up the stock price to make Wall Street happy, which of course impacts their bonuses.
