American law has the concept of “fighting words” that essentially says you’re waiving your self defense claim by inviting someone to take a swing. Beyond that, its why we have juries, to make findings of fact.
My problem here is not determining the facts, its that they are using the circumstances to make a ridiculous

One of the Mission Impossible movies, Tom Cruise is on a Ducati that suddenly has semi-knobby tires, then suddenly has street tires again.

Faster than an RS7, fun, reliable-ish.....

Everyone should avoid getting in to a fight, and if you start one, you should get charged for that.

The Mercedes E-class cabriolet comes in AWD (“4matic”). Pretty sure you can get the A3 vert with it, and the TT always has. The current BMW 2 series cabriolet has it and I think there’s always been a two door convertible X-drive option somewhere in the lineup.

I wouldn’t go the fumigation route - the foam in the seats might absorb enough poisonous stuff to remain dangerous.
What about going to a body shop and baking it in their paint booth? Although insects are hardy things, might be good to research that, but I would think a couple of hours at a couple of hundred degrees

The perfect entry-level supercar. On a $100K budget you can buy this and pick up a Crown Vic at county auction for your DD

Putting on my economist hat: buying a used manual boosts the market value of used manuals, which boosts residual values, which lowers the capital cost on a lease, which lowers the monthly lease payment.

The Boxster has a very unique weld on the rear of the car, and if the car is in an accident and that weld requires repair or replacement, it has to be done by a specially certified tech. As I found out when I borrowed a friend’s Boxster, made a foolish sudden stop for a parking spot, and got rear-ended.
Point being, a

Friend of mine just took delivery on a new G70 two weeks ago. They put around $6K on the hood making his lease payment very attractive. I haven’t driven it, but he’s owned a ton of manuals and is very happy with it. 

Reliability surveys go up to what, 5 years? Take any Audi at ten years or older and tell me how reliable it is. The electrical stuff in particular.

Nah man, I’m white and its big and think and the white ladies love it.

So, not much cheaper than an E class wagon. Which has similar power, a nicer interior, more cargo space, and RWD.

Cadillac needs to find a new design language. Making cars that look like lego blocks isn’t working, and the fussy interiors are the exact opposite of where the market is going.
And ditch the three letter names. We get it, you’re emulating the Germans, but you don’t have the decades of brand legacy behind them to make

My 3-year old CPO with 30k miles was essentially 1/2 price of new

That’s if you can fix it. A friend’s mom had this generation of XJ. The windshield wipers stopped working. Oh, must be an electric motor, right?

My guess is this has zero to do with policy, and the tariffs are unlikely to be imposed. Its just manipulating the markets - short a few stocks, have the Fanta Menace make this pronouncement, turn a quick profit.

A very tiny percentage of gun owners commit homicides, so stats on overall gun ownership are not indicative of gun use by killers. The killers are statistically atypical.

How can you reach this conclusion when there are gun homicides with the type of gun not reported, and homicides with the type of weapon not reported?
In fairness, I do think that is a reasonable estimate. Rifles are generally the go-to for mass murders, which are a small percentage of overall murders. But also quite

I try to not snack, just meals. Mostly turkey or chicken with spinach wraps. I’ll pick up a couple at Publix along with some unsweet tea and a back of ice for the cooler. For me avoiding sugar on long drives (or anything that requires long periods of concentration) is a good idea, avoid the sugar crash.
