You shouldn’t recline your seat regardless.

My dad’s current truck is a 2004 F250 crew-cab with an 8' bed and turbodiesel engine. He bought it new for around $37K out the door (which I’ll guess is probably about $34-35K before taxes).

“Quad” cab. Assuming you really, really, really hate the people you stick in the back seat. I recently checked out the Colorado, a vehicle for which I’ve never went so quickly from “This is interesting” to “No way in hell ever unless they pay me for it” after 30 seconds in the seats, and the Ranger, which was nicer…

But it doesn’t come with mirrors.

As an ex-IHOP server, I can confidently say yes. Yes, there is a Endless Pancake Day. I think it’s actually called Never-Ending Pancake Day. Ironically, the day, itself, also feels like it never ends...

No, this was too soon.

The populated areas won't dissapoint, it's the outlying, farming, all white areas that are the problem. 

Have hope. Ohio re-elected lefty Sherrod Brown (although his own trade positions are as protective tariff-y as the Donald’s) in 2016. And Never-Trump Kasich was elected governor twice. And the citified counties, where a lot or Ohioans live, are solidly democratic.  

Yeah, like with Ford. Say what you will about the customer base for the F-150 and Mustang, but I’m hard-pressed to disagree with them focusing in on the above two and letting their boring sedans die off.

He handily won the state in 2016, but if he can’t deliver on promises to bring back manufacturing jobs, it could hurt him the next go-around.

Too soon, too fucking soon with that asking price! Can this Si be worth ten grand someday? Maybe…? I hope this seller lucks into a buyer with more money than brains but gooooood luck with that. If that asking price were around $7500…I’d start an aggressive haggle!

When we were looking hard at an Acura TLX, there was a suggested dealer that was outside of our state. I went to their website and they showed, no joke, 480 TLX in stock. Even if only 1/4 of them were physically in stock, that is 120 TLX alone. That is crazy.

I’ve long said that. It’s truly staggering how many cars are made and sold. IIRC, Ford sold ~900,000 F150s in 2018 alone. Nine. Hundred. Thousand for one vehicle sold by one manufacturer. No wonder there’s a Ford dealership every 20mi, here in Tx. 

I think that while watching How It’s Made and they are making something mundane like pencils and the narrator says, “This facility is capable of producing 400,000 pencils a day.” WHO IS BUYING ALL THOSE PENCILS?!

Tesla - This is where the dealership model could really benefit them.

Or Tesla could realize, “Hey we’re not moving as many cars - let’s slow production to save some $$$.”

An auto job used to be a good job.  Those guys all bought houses, drove new cars, and took vacations.

Tesla starting expensive was a very deliberate move though, they did it because the tech was expensive, and so if the entire car is a luxury model you can use the margins inherent in luxury features to offset technology costs.

Can’t say I fully agree.  I can agree the front end is a but goofy looking but overall it’s very striking.

Ok, we get you do not like current Honda styling, but the Civic is doing very well compared to the competition, it’s the whole segment that is in decline, and none of what you are proposing would change anything to that.
