I don’t see how you can deny that

Craftsman is still decent but it’s difficult to justify the price when you don’t get that no-questions-asked lifetime warranty anymore.

I stay FAR AWAY from anything pneumatic at HF. I’ve had some okay luck with one spray gun and one pneumatic rivet gun, but that’s about it.

like the Taycan turbo? 

Have you seen the prices for air-cooled Porches lately?  Even Porsche can’t afford to build them.

I think Elon has already turned off a lot of potential buyers with his asshole routine, which is happening with far too much frequency to be chalked up as a blip.

Not trying to be Hot Take Guy here, but I can’t help but think of the old adage of pride comes before the fall with Tesla...or specifically Musk. No, they’re not going to suddenly fail or disappear but I think Elon has already turned off a lot of potential buyers with his asshole routine, which is happening with far…

Spot on. My 08 GTI was quite possibly the finest all-around vehicle I’ve ever owned, and goddamn have I owned a lot of cars. Asked me for nothing that I didn’t expect out of any car with the age and mileage it had. My current swiss-cheesed MK3 VR6 GTI can be a pain in the ass, but what 22 year old car with 225K on it…

VW must of found a warehouse full of unused Pontiac Grand Am rims. :P
