I wonder if the next step is to equip every EV with fire retardant foam that entombs the battery if fire or excessive temperatures are detected...

Why is no one buying the 500E?

Cause it’s too goddamn expensive you greaseball idiot. The old ones were a delight, the perfect city car. Would loved to have bought a new one, but not at that price point.

Thing is, she agreed to a loan of $403 a month for 72 months. That works out to her agreeing to pay back $29,016. That’s what her loan was worth. Not the $17,000 price of the car.

While I do empathize with her plight, I think we also need to acknowledge that she was not, in fact, forced to buy a $15,000 car. Especially in 2017.

Do you actually understand the financial markets, or are you just regurgitating what you read? 

I’d guess based on the fact that most articles they run nowadays are more about “Screw the Police” or “Screw the Rich” than actual cars that the day is nigh...

I was poor enough to qualify for the earned income tax credit as a single person for a number of years post college. Yet I never missed a payment on anything, and had excellent credit that I avoided using at all costs. It’s a matter of priorities. It’s funny how the poor always seem to have plenty of money for booze,…

Hmm, I don’t know about this one. The sad thing is that the alternative to deep-subprime lenders like Exeter or Santander, or BHPHs, is the person being unable to get transportation at all when they desperately need it. They’ll simply be unable to secure any loan or any transportation at all. And that’s exactly what…

Not sure how this can be changed....lender charges high rate due to high risk of non-payment; precisely what occurred here. High rates as a result of bad credit as a result of not paying what one owes on bills is an adverse but necessary societal situation required to incentive people to pay others appropriately and…

Perhaps before moving Jeep upmarket (mostly by just raising prices with no additional content) maybe Stellantis should have focused on, I dunno, not catching fire?

FFS, how many of them can actually drive?

She was technically here illegally.  Entering on a tourist visa and then getting a job without a work visa.

He likely didn’t overstay his visa, he was an unlicensed driver but had a state issued ID. Most of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield are here under TPS visas. Locals are just incredibly xenophobic.

If human population hadn’t started exploding in the 20th century, many of the problems we face like climate wouldn’t be problems and we could all have nice things. But it did and continues to. Fortunately, or unfortunately, that’s going to end up eventually being a self-correcting problem.

NO, people NEED to understand that when you are pulled over, you are NOT in charge! when stopped, roll your windows down ALL THE WAY, hand them you license and registration and NONE of this would have occurred. You DON’T roll up heavily tinted windows (Illegal in most states) after you are stopped. Put your phone…

As a white male, if I had tinted driver/passenger windows and rolled my window up after a policeman repeatedly told me not to, I’d expect to have my window smashed in and guns drawn on me. I do think the officers could have done a better job after they got Hill out of the car, and cops need to keep their emotions in…

First and foremost, he wasn’t arrested.  He was pulled over for violating a traffic law then started to act like a disrespectful jackass.  I don’t care what color you are or what color the cop was, that shit should get you detained temporarily.  Being a star doesn’t mean you can be a prick.

I can’t believe $50,000 is downmarket these days.

FWIW, this is more of a perception thing, Even if GMs entire salaried US workforce (who can WFH) bought a new car every year, its a drop in the bucket for sales annually.
