“The driver then drove around the gates”

While individual SUVs and trucks have sold well, they as a vehicle class didn’t make up the majority of vehicles sold in the US until last decade:

“Yes”. Manufactures did a great job marketing larger vehicles that had a higher profit margin, and consumers bought them in such quantities that the profit margin for smaller cars narrowed to the point that they made little to no financial sense for some manufacturers to keep making them. So, both. 

That only matters if you want to resell it quickly.

Are you asking why a perpetual energy machine doesn’t exist?

Police did release a video of the driver:

Damn. You’re right. Who’s gonna get the fly first?

You keep saying that these are difficult to repair and about things going wrong with them, but do you have any actual, real-world experience with them? I used to hear that all the time about these and the TR-7s, but as a kid, thought they were cool nonetheless. Ended up getting one, then a second one as an adult. One…

The TR7 feels altogether more modern and different than the old British sports cars it replaced, but the early ones missed the part about being reliable like a modern car. By all reports that was pretty well sorted out when the TR8s were made, but the damage to the reputation was done, and, though a pretty great car…

The first car I ever bought, back when we bought cars based on 40 words in a printed newspaper, and it ruined me for average cars ever since. It’s been a very long time, and I still remember the first time I caught this view as the garage door came open. As I think back along the list of cars that are no longer mine,…

Buc-ee’s is like Joe Rogan’s podcast, or professional wrasslin’. You can complain that it’s harmful to peddle products that make people fat and stupid, but, by God, they all sell. If you want to make money selling a healthier product, you need to figure out how to market it like they do.

Me: He promoted white supremacy and helped facilitate a genocide, both of which are bad.

You: You’re just a leftist who hates everyone who is successful.

No one who ignores Zuck promoting white supremacy and helping facilitate genocide but still wants to know why you don’t like the guy is asking in good faith or worth arguing with.
