Volvo is the example of how Saab could have survived. Let them keep making things the Saab way to those 100,000 people that don’t want a mainstream car. You think those buyers want a Chevy or a Buick? Hell no, they’d rather walk. Those are 100,000 customers you no longer have.

I like Lutz as a car guy, but he had terrible business sense. I personally liked all of the cars he pushed for, but they were all sales flops, and predictably so.

SAAB was goofy is a fantastic way. 

Me, at 13, with MUCH less money “Same.”

Elon going back to LIDAR would be a huge admission of failure for him, something his ego will find hard to swallow, especially after years of denigrating it at the expense of safety.

I generally find the Tesla reporting here to be a bit one sided, but them going to LIDAR after years of saying it wasn’t necessary, is actually pretty newsworthy.

Fortunately, it only took me 5 seconds to determine the car is fucking hideous.

Biden didn’t try to overthrow a US government

Seriously. It’s like getting upset by someone wearing a shirt that says “Famine is Bad”

I do hate that somehow the phrase “save the bees.” is political. 

“McLaren is a non-political organization however we recognize and respect the office of President of the United States so when the request was made...” Not to be pedantic, but the office of the President did not make the request and, Trump is not the President of the United States. He was. And he may be again. But he…

Would Scaredy-cat Barry Obama be denied a tour? So yes, a former prez deserves a tour. But did they have to say “honored” putting up with the publicity-craving criminal?

American Hitler was born with a silver spoon in his mouth (as he apparently took $400M of the old man’s money to create his assets) and would never have served his country. Other than those two aspects of the pathological liar, the parallels between him and Hitler 1.0 make me feel like I’m in 1938 Germany as the…

He’s not “just a person”, he’s the guy that wants to end democracy in America and everyone knows it. That some people are ok with that doesn’t matter, he’s a fucking piece of shit, period.

The issue here is not even political. They welcomed an individual that is under indictment for a litany of crimes, has been found liable for rape and promulgated an insurrection, attempted a coup, attempts to undermine our basic democratic institutions, cronyism, tax evasion, fraud. He defames people, lies repeatedly,…

You crushed it bro.

That’s it. Formula 1 is dead to me. It’s bad enough that Formula 1 embraces authoritarian, human rights squashing regimes around the world in exchange for money. But when it embraces our own would-be fascist dictator, that’s when enough is enough and enough is too much.

This is why regulations are necessary. Not all make sense, and can be adjusted or tweaked - but regulations often prevent the tragedies like this one caused by hubris. 

You could say they made a titanic mistake. 

He did not deploy it (not that you can control it, it’s automatically deployed in the event of power loss). This actually was a salient point during the investigation. Knowing he was trading altitude for airspeed to keep from stalling and every little bit of drag lowered their chances of survival he turned his…
