I used to work with car dealers as clients. One CJDR dealer I worked with told me they’d figured out the most profitable strategy was to stock low content cars that were easiest to finance. Didn’t care at all about how much they made on the sale of the car, just on the financing.

I’ll be honest I never have been. Because if I wanted a 3 row Chrysler product I’d just buy a minivan.

The damage was done by the tsunami, not radiation. Its safe from as near as 500 metres, the evacuation was a big overreaction so why wouldn’t plant and animal life thrive in our absence?

After talking to a good friend who sells at a CJD store where they split the salespeople by brand (he’s only allowed to sell Dodge and Ram, other guys can only sell Chrysler and Jeep) I found out why the Journey sells so well.

I’m guessing the Journeys are heavily discounted, and probably the cheapest third row vehicle out there. Of course, once you factor in depreciation I’m sure one of the slightly more expensive third row vehicles end up being cheaper, but people don’t like math for some odd reason.

I agree that the Journey is a horrible vehicle, but I suspect it’s the cheapest 7 passenger vehicle on the market and it’s not a minivan. I just looked up the price and even I was surprised how cheap it was, so in a market where everybody thinks they need as much seating as possible and SUVs are cooler than minivans,…

You can’t break out Jeep. For each sale in the past, when Willys sold Jeep to Kaiser, Kaiser to AMC, AMC to Renault, Renault to Chrysler one rule prevailed: you have to take all the other shit that’s laying around the shop too. I mean, remember stuff like the Eagle Premier? Of course not.

A car that is so boring that I had to lookup what it looks like... <googling> and its basically a crossover between a minivan and a... crossover. Its a cross over crossover.

No the boat on re-introducing the PT Cruiser sailed long ago. Like back in 2006 when they decided to make it even cheaper.

Why is the tow truck driver hooked up on the rear of a FWD? Aren’t they supposed to pick up by the drive wheels?

Ha! Or sometimes it’s just a single evocative verb. Students who are not great writers don’t pick up on when a word in their source material is jargon versus straightforward description versus something poetic. They just go “hmm, looks good,” and chuck it in.

Plagiarism: When grammar suddenly improves, albeit briefly, in a sea of crappy writing.

As the husband of an elementary school teacher who often gets enlisted to grade papers, I have no idea how you educators out there do it and my hat is off to you all.

From the pure dollar perspective it might be a good offer if someone is offering 2x what Jeep is truly worth (or the entire value of FCA), but Patrick is absolutely right there is a vs.

No, there’s no vs.

It looks like she’s taking him from behind with...vigor.

You can, but you shouldn’t. If you look at it the wrong way, then this happens:

For obvious reasons this has got to be the most fallacious and stupid argument I’ve ever heard. Because he didn’t know about it before, finding about it now means that he can’t disapprove of it? I mean, if my wife had been cheating on me for the past two years am I not allowed to be outraged if I just found out about…

Particularly when something is written with such an over the top satiric style that it’s talking about taking a quote out on a date to eat chorizo, and the mind reader decides this is 100% aggrieved outrage of butthurtness with no humor involved.
