It’s not the physical camera that is expensive, it’s the installation labor and monitoring costs(unless you’re just recording for a police report later) all so you can get a bad angle video of someone wearing a hoodie walking up and destroying things you paid for with your hard earned cash and you have no chance of…

I work for a “real dealership”, one of the largest in the area in fact. We’ve never have cameras and we do just fine. We’ve had a couple incidences (single vehicles keyed) but we feel that if we conduct ourselves in the proper manor, cameras are not needed. Customers fear car lots enough without having them think…

My husband woke up during Sia’s second song and said “that’s the funniest skit SNL has had for a while; it looks like your “interpretive dance”, ha ha ha.......” . When he realized that it wasn’t a bit he silently went to bed.

Ben Carson trying to be funny would probably violate the Geneva Conventions. Nevermind that it’d be a class action lawsuit waiting to happen for all the pain it would inflict on viewers; the dude would probably start a holy war by accident if he forgot his his lines and winged it for ten seconds.

Given an ultimatum, he picked his car. Then, she did.

Hey, axes! Don’t take it out on the car.

Hey, exes! Don’t take it out on the car.

The Germans will just keep on trying, until they come up with a final solution.

Oh the fine. I thought it was a concern with smog or something.

Derp yourself. You’re imagining that VW is in possession of technology far beyond any other manufacturer _and_ despite that they decided to bet their entire company, for nothing.

P.S. We get it, you can 3D print a car. Please hire a guy with a sander.

Hey Local Motors:

Since I’m guessing the poster never beat anyone to within an inch of their life and then threatened to kill them if they didn’t take a settlement, they are better. That’s a false equivalence, you know it, and you sound fucking stupid for saying it.

- What’s this one for?

I run a shop that does high concierge and storage services for automobiles (you might have seen it featured here on Jalopnik). You would be surprised how many valets don’t know how to drive a stick shift.

But the article isn’t talking about him selling a car. It’s about him driving the car. Hence the derision. Does no one else get this? Did I read a different article?

I can understand selling cars and not knowing how to drive stick and not quite understanding which one is the clutch pedal. Manuals are relatively rare, becoming more of a niche market with each passing year. Such a skill would be nearly valueless at places like a Mercedes Benz dealership. Even at dealers that offer…

Yes. Because unless that “same foot” is your right foot, it means you’re using your left foot to brake, which is a big no-no unless you’re a) in a Go Kart or b) on a rally course.

I went with my friend to test drive the (used) Abarth 500 he bought. The saleswoman apologized for not bringing it out front for him, because she didn’t know how to drive a manual.
