They have better brand loyalty than you’d think, and not even just trucks. Take a stroll through any inner-city underprivileged neighborhood and 99% of cars are old GM products. The core market for GM cars are people like that who do well enough to end up buying a new car.

I think they get their sales by always being available and being something people can settle for. Ford lot only had the highest trim F150? Chevy will have a lower trim available. Hyundai only had the base model Santa Fe? You can go get a Yukon (or Terrain if that is the equivalent—I can’t be bothered to remember GM…

The Pixies in a shack with 50 year old equipment Sounds like a great time to me!

The C8 has one of the worse rear hips (3/4 rear view) ever. Bloated and generic.

Yeah, do people who call this season a farce prefer the snoozefest where Hamilton and Mercedes lock in the championship with 5 races left to go? This is the most exciting F1 season in a long time.

Amen, DeWayneV8! Waiting three years for your collective farm to be authorized to get a tractor so you can grow more potatoes is something our anti-capitalist friends seem to think didn’t happen routinely for 50+ years.  Oh, and you didn’t have much choice about being a potato farmer either.

DeWayne, I’m glad you brought that up.

Yep - guaranteed.  And of course it makes me feel old as hell.  But I guess that’s the circle of life.

I view NFTs, the meta-verse and things like Sandbox (which I didn’t know existed until just now) as sort of a signpost in my own life - the moment I really, genuinely, stopped keeping up with some of the changes in society, technology and the internet.  And not because I necessarily wanted to - but simply because I’ve…

I once bought a brand new Jeep Patriot.

Call it Electric Avenue... and then they take it higher?

Me too. I was looking at used 370Zs and BMW 128i/135i but prices are so idiotic right now. I’d rather spend $30k on a new GR86 than a 10 year old 370z/128i/135i with 100k miles on the odometer.

Bad Brains classic yellow is my go to t-shirt.

Yes, I’ve wanted a Corvette my whole life. I didn’t buy one when I was young, because I couldn’t really afford one (although I know someone would have financed me) and made the smart decision to wait. Then I met my wife, got married, and had kids. 9 years from now, when I’m done paying for my youngest to go to college…

This might appreciate faster...
