She’s turning white.
Saw the thumbnail, clicked, turbo-scrolled to smack ND. Truly a Ralph Nader “No Dice At Any Price” special.
his parents are worth $2 million
It’s a step in the right direction, but I honestly can’t imagine that the dealers will go quietly into the sunset on this. I’m guessing there are a lot of folks out there making their living moving pre-configured inventory. When a buyer has to very purposefully chose their vehicle, they’ve got a lot more chances to…
I was hoping that this was a troll by the author to prove that NYT will publish anything. Alas, it was not.
Did she get arrested? You know, like a certain group of “tourists” did on January 6th? Oh, wait...
Feeling a small twinge of nostalgia, as I once had an E36 M3. There was something pleasingly staid and teutonic about the car, but as a model-year 1998 vehicle, it already felt like a dinosaur in 2001. At the time, it was a ridiculously fun vehicle: nicely balanced, power to spare, highly-strung. In retrospect? …
Sure, Musk denies it. But it’s just so on-brand. Cook’s response is phenomenal.
I’m buying in on the Old Saturn hype. NP.
Financial insecurity, that’s all. Also, the early reports of this up here were so vague that I literally thought the guy had killed a native black bear and hung it from a noose. I wouldn’t put it past these meth-fueled, backwoods chucklef--ks.
I’m glad that Tiktok doesn’t yet require an account to view content. I don’t understand it at all, but from what I can glean it’s a squalid peek into the lives of the very young and the very old. It usually involves degrading themselves in front of the camera in a (possibly intentional) way. Also, the intellects I…
I’m gonna go with:
The most capable and most fun vehicle I get to drive.
We need more schmaltzy rescue shows like we need a hole in the head. We don’t need another Alaskan Ice Timber Road Gold Dust Trucking spinoff. We don’t need another “Gotta have this 1955 Bel Air that I bought out of a hoarder’s shed ready for that big auction on Sunday!” We don’t need another Dysfunctional Restaurant…
Stories like these will always remind me of an Audi forum I used to frequent. A guy dropped his heavily modded S4 off for some routine service and got a call later in the day from the dealership saying that there had been “a problem.” Much like the dealer here, they tried to frame it as an innocent accident, where a…
I have to wonder whether automotive financing will adjust to the times and treat marked-up vehicles as an actuarial exercise. I think most consumers are so conditioned to having a car payment that very few of them will default on their loans because they’re feeling duped about paying a markup. The loans are for 8…
Always loved these. But is this person out of their mind with the price? I could see maybe paying very low 5 figures for a well-sorted, lower mileage version, but this one has a bunch of disclosed issues, as well as what I’m sure is a long list of undisclosed ones. And over 200K miles? I know these engines have a…
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. ND.
I can’t decide which is worse: your science teacher, or the CTO at a former employer who joked around at an all-hands meeting about not remembering his drive home after a happy hour with the boys went sideways.
