Discount priced new money luxury? 

Well, it wasn't for lack of trying. Scotland just ran into some bad luck with their colonization efforts. 

Guns, too. Mods are expressions of your own personal taste, most collectors want original. 

Im sure it's a fine car, but that C-pillar is a mess. The grille is refreshing for a luxury car in 2019 though. 

These also had a starring role in what I think was Jay Leno’s only movie (other than cameo appearances), it was a formulaic buddy cop plot that had Leno and Arnold from Happy Days tracking down a kidnapped Japanese automotive engineer or something.

No they do not, we have to pay for it ourselves. I brought in a big can of Folgers at the beginning of the month, seems to be holding up OK.

No, there is a mint flavoring. A year or two ago, they were also offering it in their coffees and mochas, too. Have no idea why they stopped that, I mean, it was literally the same flavor extract as the shakes, they were just squirting some into the coffee cup.

Yes! Wawa Mocha Mint Latte FTW.

I have a Burger King in walking distance from my office, so this is sort of appealing. I mean, a small coffee isn’t much caffeine, but at $5.00 a month, you can’t argue with the value. Buy a bigger caffeinated beverage somewhere else in the morning and hit BK in the middle of the afternoon for an extra bump for 17…

I mean, that does make it substantially more practical (which, is supposedly the only reason anyone buys a crossover anyway, I mean, they can’t be doing it for style), but, considering this is from the guy that spent millions in extra development money and months of extra time to make top-hinged doors sort of work on…

None of them would make any acknowledgement of that, either. 

Subways can’t move steel beams! This is all Bush’s fault.

A regular manual transmission converted to semi-auto operation?

Hmm, I wonder if maybe Spain had a similar regulation, seeing as how the Rana was never sold anywhere else. Not that that was necessarily intentional though, I would think that the company hoped to sell a lot more than they did.

I wonder if there was a consideration for easy conversion to a 3-wheeler for export markets where that was an advantage?

That was not possible in the SS’ case, Holden’s problem was not primarily their fixed costs, which can be offset with volume, but in their variable costs, meaning that they could not turn a profit on their cars no matter how many they built and sold. The more they built, the more they lost. Their factory was too small…

Yeah, Tesla has done surprisingly well with a lineup of 2/3 passenger cars (and their only crossover being $79,000+), this one is going to blow all kinds of sales records for them. They’re going to have to add extra computers in their stores to handle all the customers coming in to order online. 

GM couldn’t make money on the SS, it was too expensive to manufacture and ship. They only sold it in North America because they were obligated in their union contract to make a “good faith” effort to make Holden viable via export sales. But, it was never going to work. The more they sold, the more money they would…

Only if you have more than 2 people with you. And when I do, I follow the same rules I use on airplanes - sit on the aisle. I don’t mind standing up to let other people out when they need to, and that way I can come and go as I please without worrying about bothering someone else.

I love things that are specifically designed with the goal of simplicity, durability, and easy repairs. A shame the attitude seems to be on the wane.
