Its actually Ray Albers, apparently:

Sign of the times. When car sells for about $16MM less than what it was supposed to, you know that an economic downturn is coming.

was that close up replay his phone falling in the snow? because please I hope so.

If I were a regional or above sales manager for one of the brands including in this dealer group, I would reduce their allocation of desirable/high margin models and send those units to other dealers in the area. This crap stains the reputation of the OEM as much as the dealer.

Does anyone else feel a little deflated that Tesla would settle with this idiot? I know the money means nothing to Tesla, but the principle of the issue here...

As someone who grew up in the rural south and raced riding mowers for 5-6 years, here's what bothers me about stuff like this: At first it started out as something that was more like a joke: " Hey! Let's race golf carts, lawn mowers, bar stools, or whatever!" It starts out with maybe some slightly modified factory…

You have two pedals in that car. How hard is it to remember the right from the left? If you can't, you shouldn't be driving.

Driving a Ferrari, how hard can it be?

Like, I didn't even know it was that fast. I mean I did counter steer on GT 5 so I was pretty ready you know? You're car has something wrong with it..

They're hand built with forged internals and a ported head...there's a reason the S2K was $15K more. Plus I don't think it can pass emissions anymore on a new car anymore.

I guess he should have sent his American soldier friends, suitably equipped, to 'discuss the matter' with the dealership.

Came here to say this. An automatic has a torque converter. If it doesn't have a torque converter it isn't an 'automatic'. There are really three different types of transmissions.

If you ask someone with a two-pedal tiptronic whatever if they have a manual or an automatic, be prepared to cringe when they say "both!" Do you have a clutch? If you don't, you're car is equipped with an automatic gearbox. Get over it, and stop lying to yourself and your loved ones.

Yes. Good god man. The world is small and the internet is even smaller.

You went to West, right? My name is Paul Alexander, I was in the Class of '96. Cool to see someone from West writing for Jalopnik.

I don't know. You'll have to asp the snake.

"Snake heaven" - bare, unprotected ankles for as far as the snake eye can see... :)
