I'm pretty sure you're mistaken. According to this graph

Please cite any "really good arguments" made by actual economists. Chrysler and GM were months away from running out of money when there was zero credit available. They would have simply halted operations in the middle of armageddon, turning the economic outlook even more dismal, and the bankruptcy plan would have put…

The turn signal ITSELF is irrelevant because the vast majority of drivers never use it. You can't hold a big gulp/frappucino, yak on a cellphone, swing the wheel AND operate a turn stalk, so why do manufacturers needlessly jack up the cost of cars with this wasteful obsolete feature?! Likewise the hazard button; it's…

That would make it too easy. Instead, the switches should be strategically placed in the environment outside the car, requiring skill to spot, drive over, and activate. I dub these race module switches "power ups".

Well, all the European "blu*" diesels are micro-hybrids with stop-start and some brake regen, but the motor alone can't propel the car.

Ray Wert, your butt-hurt animosity towards Musk is lowering your IQ. Seek medical attention.

The difference between a forest and a city is obvious to anyone, claiming it's all "nature" because we naturally evolved our awesome capabilities is foolish.

Market value is how much a company is worth. Buy all the shares at the share price and you own the company. What other measurement is there?

I salute your persistence with the Porsche=Beetle meme!

Not quite all, I think it started with the DB3 around 1951. But agreed, super-iconic

Winner romps home by 10 lengths! Aston Martin has had that grille for 60 years. (1952 DB3). I wonder who first designed it?

Subtle but true. I remember friends carefully putting red tape on their plain Golf grilles.

The Aptera founders didn't have a large personal fortune thanks to cashing out from Paypal. They did receive investment money ( [en.wikipedia.org] ) but after the $24M 2008 Series C they got CEO Paul Wilbur whom some blame for the failure. Meanwhile "Musk provided almost all of the capital for Tesla's first two…

Aptera didn't get government money. Do pay attention.

No, people driving the panda off ~95% of its habitat is not a "natural reason."

Sure, but the primary reason their numbers declined is loss of habitat due to expansion of farming. Go read [www.iucnredlist.org] : "Significant climatic changes combined with thousands of years of cultivation of lower and flatter habitats and hunting by humans caused the giant pandas’ range to shrink to a remnant at…

GM sold 6,142 Volts in the USA as of the end of November, and some additional number went to Europe and Asia. They missed their 10,000 sales target (most car models don't meet their sales goals, see Fiat 500) but it's not yet the flop everyone confidently forecast. I think "93% of Volt owners who responded said they…

Heh, I checked my LPs. At the time Prince wrote "U drove me to the place", by Purple Rain it was was "U drove me 2 the place", then by Lovesexy it was "[eye symbol] started 2 worry", and in 1992 he introduced his TAFKAP symbol/logo. Fans call it Princebonics, I think he got pissed off when someone corrected his…

Or Yusuf Amir, though he usually prefers his gold-plated Enus Super Drop Diamond convertible (with a gold-plated SMG in the glove compartment) over Lambos. "We got A-rab money! We're getting A-rab money" "If only my father gave me a few billion I could really call my own, then maybe I would grow up." [gta.wikia.com]

He's not an artist, just a craftsman.
