Make a decent quality car at a genuinely affordable price, with a paint option that includes yellow.

I never thought much about it, and the  article kept me on the fence, but reading some of the comments... That convinced me these are a good thing and need to be rolled out across the country. Especially in some of our more scenic places.

Of course he didn’t, gotta limit that corporate liability. If a whistleblower reports it, then the liability increases when they ignore it. Which they will, because there is a fiscal reason to do whatever they are whistleblowing on. Meet a whistleblower in person, and you’ve not only increased the scope of corporate…

That is how it works, so the managers know which “disloyal” voice to fire. It is never about fixing errors, it is about silencing those who point errors out. 

If anyone wants a more modern analogy, he was the JK Rowling of his era. One minute a beloved celeb, one heinous act later, a monster that nobody wanted to admit having ever liked.

It was super close, those things don’t exactly turn on a dime. They take a few seconds to respond and redirect their movement.

Pull all the way forward, to the lights and to the car in front, and try and stagger your cars to the lane next to you to fill gaps at the side, or some motherfucking cyclist will try and filter in front of you just to fuck around when you try to pull away at green.

You know what, I’d take a tree right now.

They should have know the about the problem with the ass wipe, he owns the company.

I completely agree. Dealers should be able to actually work on the cars they are selling. They should be at least basically competent on all the brands and models of the company they signed up with. That ought to be an entry level expectation of a dealer contract.

Elon lied? The lying liar who lies, lied? I’m shocked, so shocked.

That’s fine, I use Firefox anyway.
