is it still 1979? Just checking.

Sure man, whatever. I’ll let you have the last word.

This would have been so much funnier it it had happened to a late model full-size pick up, a Charger or Challenger

I’m going out on a limb and say that the percentage of Silverado owners who like NPR is very very tiny. You’re a beautiful unicorn.

They were all government-owned companies. Their ‘branding’ extended to a logo, that’s it. None had the freedom to develop their brands to appeal to emotional drivers of free market buyers, via marketing campaigns and actual product development and innovation . There were no consumers, per se, because they had little…

If by ‘workers’ you mean the people that work in the marketing , product development, design and engineering departments, then yes. Also, the variety of brands in China exsist because they adopted many capitalist principles, branding being one of them. It’s a very different economy than the USSR was.

Any show with a ‘Z’ replacing and ‘S’ is automatically trash.

I suggest you work on understanding nuance. Brands make you if you let them. There is lots of space between being a brand enthusiast and making a brand the core of who you are, whether that brand is pickup truck maker, a political party, sports team, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Yes commercial brands exist to make…

It got better towards the end. The current show with Dax Shepard is unwatchable.

That’s an extreme statement about extremist brand addicts. Without emotional bonds to brands, there would be no brands, and little competition or evolution. Humans are tribal by nature. It’s OK to be a little emotionally invested in a brand. Like or love what you want to love, Its makes you you. There’s a lot of space…

Hmm, have you ever observed rednecks and their pickups? Douchebags in $6k used BMWs?

Yup, this site has been slowly evolving into Snarkoplik. A little is great, snark everything is tiring.

It’s always a douchebag in a lifted full size white truck innit?

There is an easy fix to to this problem. JUST DRIVE THE DAMN CAR!! What else are you going to do? Wanna read book en route or do some creochet? Get a taxi or an Uber! It’s not a frickin’ living room, it’s a CAR! I mean, how hard is it? You have assisted everything and no gears to change. You just sit comfortably, look…

Violent terrorists I tell ya.

The US is a massive country, and car brand prefernces are very regional. The ecosystem varies greatly from state to state. I see many brands / models frequently in California, south Florida and the North East I rarely see in other states. The midwest is pretty homogeneous in comparison.

I’m more surprised anyone buys…

What alternate universe have you been living in? Because I cannot believe someone could have lived through the last two years on this planet and say something that idiotic.

CItizens United says corporations are peopl, so wtf aren’t we taxing them?

In a just world, a proper non-partisan investigation should be conducted, and those in charge who blatantly ignored the danger to the public this bridge represented, should go to jail. Not holding my breath though.

2005 Mustang 3.7 V6 was tested by Car & Driver and did 0-60 in 6.9 Seconds. Pretty quick actually .
