They really need to trade in those metal detectors for radiation detectors: since guns are OK, they should at least try to filter out the dirty bombs. Personally, I do not understand why TX doesn’t allow open carry of dirty bombs and other nucular weapons— how else can my Well-Regulated Militia stand up to the ICBM’s…

+1 star,

Hyundai abandons fish-face and goes back to their roots by lifting design cues directly from luxury brands!

Yeah punitive damages actually have to be punative, or else it’s just a mockery of justice. That being said, this guy should be more than happy with any payout in the $M’s range — I wish the bulk of that >$100M award went to some kind of nonprofit “Defense Against Racism” type organization that could:

Those are really high end cars, but aren’t they really setup for the passenger? I’ve driven a ~2016 S550 a couple times, and it felt like an aircraft carrier when I looked out over the hood from the driver’s seat. I’m much more of a fan of the next-size down sedan.

I don’t see the government ever mandating this over 10k drunk driving deaths/year. We’ve got >4x more gun deaths per year and the government (mainly R’s) really goes out of their way to ignore the problem.

One thing I agree with is that if Genesis does not quickly provide a Lexus-dealer experience then they’re —done—.

*Disclaimer: any use of these frequent flier miles requires payment of a $105/flight “gate agent will not punch you in the crotch” fee, or else you will be punched in the crotch when boarding.

Maybe Stellantis can bring back Plymouth, too.  Just think of the dealer markup on a  “No, Seriously, Guys this is It.” Edition of a Dodge Challenger with a giant Pep-Boys spoiler and a Roadrunner badge!

+1 star -- I came here to say the same thing

Yeah - how about a 5-10% sales tax on *all* real estate sales in Manhattan that cost more than ~$3M. These expensive residences and commercial properties *rely* on mass transit to keep Manhattan running. They’re all owned by rich people or companies who are “standing on the shoulders” of all the lower paid people who…

So you’re into money laundering, then?

Really cool article. Thanks! I’d never read about how a big chunk of the 3D graphics industry came out of military/defense work.

Sure, Dodge had to do an additional few bucks of paperwork to create this $10K sunroof option, but it has already paid off — free publicity for Dodge and their Hardcore Commitment to Racing at Jalopnik (among other places)!

This 2015 RAV4 must have like 200K miles and be in pretty poor condition if replacing the transmission costs more than the vehicle is worth. I’d expect this car to be worth significantly more than $10K...

People use to do this all the time in the Bay Area to avoid tolls. Even Steve Jobs use to lease a car for less than the permanent-plate-is-mandatory period (1 yr, I thnk?) so that he could park in handicapped spaces without penalty.

As any good investor knows, the only thing that matters is profit and stock price in the NEXT quarter. If you invest money for some future improvement that takes longer than 1 quarter, then you need to make adjustments such as:

Recently: the passenger seat in a S2000: there was literally no place to put my right arm. I felt like I had to wedge myself in and hold my right arm away from the door.

Oh yeah you’re right — I guess that’s more like $72K in today’s $$$.

The MSRP of this car in 2011 is like $90K today, after inflation. I’d say this car has depreciated an appropriate amount (~50%) in 12 years, for a limited-production near-exotic in apparently awesome condition.
