“Every car I’ve ever had I’ve had negative equity,” Mr. Simmons said.

I wish people showed half as much interest and put half as much effort into identifying the genesis of the disease.

People need to understand these SUVs, as cool as this one is, are commuters. People are going to compare them to commuters for safety, reliability, tech/features etc.

People who park in both the left turn lane and straight/right turn lane who are waiting to turn left. Now you’re stuck waiting on some long neighborhood light because some bozo couldn’t stay in their lane.

Gas goes through standard commodity cycles. It is increasing on average over time, but I’m not worried unless we see it go parabolic.

Read the room. Only add to obvious bias circle jerk. Repeat. 

What’s not more expensive right now? I’m just awaiting the inevitably increasing supply chain issues to keep us looking every which way but the Fed.

SN95 v6 Mustang. These things will outlast the cockroaches, which was a surprising turn of events since when I got it way back in the day the Found On Road Dead jokes were all the trend. 

This is a logical outcome that can result from blocking a public street overnight. We may not like the results, but someone hit while jaywalking is also culpable in their own death just like these protestors are.

It’s not just cars. The writing is on the wall, we’re, United States specifically, going to have to learn to live with less. Much less. 

I feel for him. No one likes trading their time for money doing something they don’t enjoy. We’re all going to need to learn to live with less, lower our standard of living and let hedonic adaptation do its thing. As a country, we’ve already reached peak consumerism and people are already tiring of that hedonic…

Just have it loop Steppenwolf and call it a day 

This is just more subsidies for the affluent that creates an inflationary environment we’re already seeing too much of which will plague the poor.

Pay is only half the formula. Quality of life is the other.

It’s almost as if the government just spent a little bit of money that, I don’t know, could have went toward some level of production including the EV infrastructure, if that’s the consensus.

I’ll play the fence here. We’re in the middle of an outrageous bull market that has a shelf life. Put the payments into said market with an exit strategy and just maybe it’ll supplement your budget for the purchase.

I’m glad they maximized the four cylinder instead of worrying about cannibalizing sales on the v6.

I like cars and car features others find ugly. The clown shoe is a great example. The “ugly” is a symptom of the function in the endearing examples.

My first car was an ‘03 Mustang I beat the crap out of and learned how to drive stick on. It’s still kicking as my beater with minimal issues all maintenance related besides the alternator (I have an amp, capacitor and two subs straining it - have had this car for nearly 20 years lol).

Rebadging other FCA cars certainly is not the answer since the other brands are now far more desirable.
