It only got a bad rep with the online cork sniffer crowd, i.e: Jalopnik, aka unserious people who don’t really matter. Who will (if you haven’t noticed) never mention what car THEY drive, because they know they will get torn to shreds over their choice, or be proven to be hypocrites (the auto version of MAGA).

It’s quite plausible. People will pay $20+ to have a serving of freedom fries delivered from McD, so this is not a stretch.

And here is Exhibit A:

Brown manual station wagons.

If you were sick, you wouldn’t be able to get out of bed and throw them off the porch.

Sounds like puffer jackets are a godsend in a crash. Think of it. When a crash occurs, where’s the most dangerous place to be? THE CRASH! So if one gets thrown to safety, that’s a good thing.

No one wants a $20K Mirage. I sure as hell don’t. Everyone wants a $20K BMW, as do I.

You’re not gonna get it for $1K less. They need that $1K to:

They don’t want to sell EVs, but yet scream about direct sales and being cut out of being a dealership and selling a product they...do not want to sell...

Then you have Ferrari, whose ENTIRE STAFF will not even piss on you if you have never owned one before.

I feel like that anytime I visit any purveyor of products: cars, guitars, groceries, etc.

Islamo-phobic much?

Wow, you must really hate Muslims to think that first.

Remember when the OEMs said they would be disciplined enough to go with a strategy of building less cars to to fit demand and get as much profit margin as possible? What happened to that crock of shit? You knew they would make as much as they could once parts supply came back. And now we reap the benefits of their…

Man she was still a hottie even as a GILF. I would have liked to hit that doggie style outside her house against the car, while she wore those pumps.

USA union labor?

So if I need to go over the Penske account, I can assume I can just drop over your place to review it, since you are working from home?
