Started under Ford with the legalization of square and rectangular lights, after giving automakers that little taste of freedom, the rest became inevitable.

Jason Torchinsky is an Xer

At least they managed to hang on in Japan until 1993.

Id like an even older one, please and thank you

Well, it still does happen from time to time.

Like when Mercedes claimed their tail fins were "stabilizers" , because following an American trend and putting something on the body purely for decoration was too vulgar.

Rich Chinese customers might like the big grille, everyone else doesn't care what the vehicle looks like, as long as it has a BMW badge on it.

I don’t need you trying to help me all the time, just go to Costco and finish the shopping yourself. I have to go home and walk around the cul de sac to clear my head. 

Because my Liam is a perfect angel who would never do such a thing. How dare you imply otherwise, I should sue you for defamation and emotional distress. 

Well , not to stereotype , but this is a Chinese 3 year old, not an American one, so some of that might be accurate 

Or a cheap machine made cigar unwrapped and rerolled with a different filler.

Meh, there's no money in that

There's always somebody. Lots of construction workers bitch about hard hat and high vis clothing rules, and lots of people still drive without seat belts (usually because their cousin's friend's coworker's neighbor was in a bad wreck and the EMT told him he would have been injured worse if he had worn a seat belt).

I think the liability is on the tobacco company - there should be a warning on the package not to light in an enclosed space full of flammable vapor.

Boeing is well aware of that - the 737 Max

Maybe has to do with taxis operating principally within one city, vs private cars, which can have much more varied and erratic usage patterns. You can even restrict self driving taxis to specific routes (e.g. airport to city center) to start out, while its still sort of in the experimental phase.

I often see ridiculous prices advertised for unremarkable 70s and 80s cars - the ads stay up for 6 months to a year, then disappear. I always wonder if the cars ever actually sell for that, or if the owner gives up on selling at all, or eventually accepts like 50% or less.

Plus, if you pay inside, you can have a sandwich made, get a cup of coffee, buy cigarettes and lottery tickets, use the ATM, visit the restroom, and stand in line behind 20 other people doing the same thing while your empty car blocks a gas pump during rush hour. 

So Cadillac sells better than a bunch of other struggling brands that are either on life support or just recently moved out of ICU?  Except for Porsche, really, they've always been sort of lower volume as part of their business model.

They were one of the companies Marchionne unsuccessfully approached in the 2016-2017 timeframe.
