“This tactic did little to inspire coincidence in the participants.”

He posted the announcement on twitter 9 minutes after this comment. I’m sure it’s because of you. Thanks man.

Their solution only has 5 bolts and a set screw. Your solution has 4x as many bolts, and then a whole pile of tiny wheels to deal with constantly. Your solution was easier to think of, not easier to execute.

...but even if they know, their factory can only be so big. 

But if he’s basing his number of the Pathfinder, premium gas isn’t required...is it? There’s no way Nissan requires premium gas for a Pathfinder?

The picture, for now, is pretty, though, like Rivian, it sure is worth a lot of money on paper

Except it wasn’t even a Ford rep. Those quotes are from an F-150 owner, and someone from JD Power and Associates speculating how Ford will market it. 

Probably the ticket writer would have been more precise to say “non-UAW vehicle in UAW lot”, because I think this policy is a push from the union, not from the corporate office, and the UAW is not involved at Tesla (right?). It used to be domestic and UAW were more synonymous. 

I think it’s a UAW thing more than a GM thing. From what I’ve heard the salaried lots at Ford’s campus for white collar jobs do no such thing, but at the factories where UAW is king it’s still enforced. 

Back to steel, back to water, back to feet: Hyundai.

A Ridgeline MSRP also starts at $36,490. Theoretically, an MSRP of nearly half the price should open up the pool of potential buyers pretty significantly. Whether anyone bites is a different story, but you don’t say Honda shouldn’t sell the Fit just because no one buys a Buick Regal Tour X. 

Kudos to you for getting 1200 words, that I read all of, and a click to convey the message “It looks just like a regular old truck”. 

10 years! That’s a ‘57 magazine with a ‘67 release date. 

Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o’clock at night and lick the road clean with our tongues. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two with a bread…

You were lucky to have a lake! There were a hundred and fifty of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road.

That’s gotta be a parody song. Right? Please? Don’t tell me this guy is actually being genuine with that? Please? I beg of you. 

So my 2015 Ford Escape has 71,000 miles. Needs new tires, won’t be long before brakes...let’s say that’s $1000 expense? ..and Carvana is offering $12000. Meanwhile my wife and I would like to consider an electric commuter as our second car, because the Escape is overkill now that we have a 3 row SUV for children and…

goddammit. I am full of shame for my error.
