I’m not sure what statement you’re trying to make with this comment. If you’re suggesting that laws have no purpose unless they have a 100% rate of preventing their violations, then I think you have a poor understanding of the purpose the rule of law.

I didn’t argue otherwise, the original comment was that an individual could do any number of illegal things with a car, and none of them were the concern of the dealership. That was a completely false statement, and in no way pointed out how absurd it was that the dealership would not allow the buyer to sign a waiver…

The truthiness of this hurts more than any bee sting.

Actually you can sell it to anybody you’d like, as long as the vehicle stays in the U.S. The violation is when you park the GL550 in a shipping container and ship the sucker to Saudi Arabia under the guise that you’re actually shipping machine parts rather than a functioning car.

That isn’t capitalism at all. If anything you’re making an argument for first sale doctrine, and in this case the problem isn’t that it’s illegal for you to sell your vehicle - it isn’t - it’s that the desired buyers are outside of the U.S., and it’s illegal to export the vehicle improperly, which has nothing to do…

I really have to wonder what kind of idiots want to turn down sales. When I worked sales the temptation was to turn a blind eye to the customers who you knew would use your products to break the law, I sure as heck can’t wrap my head around someone trying to imagine reasons not to make money.

Actually in the U.S. there are a number of things that become liability if businesses have reasonable cause to assume you’ll commit a crime using their products or services, so you’re completely mistaken.

Yeah, but at the same time it’s something that is completely random chance that you have to either blow a lot of money, or commit a huge time investment to in order to get what you want during a twenty day window. What if that window happened to be crunch time for someone, or they got sick and were stuck in a…

The skateboard fell off the board (it sounds like the original article said he was hit) so at best the driver can be cited for failure to obey a traffic control device.

Awesome review, especially enjoyed your energy and enthusiasm in the video. Having said that, you can leave your vegan morals at the door. It’s a great point to bring up that Dodge offers something that appeals to people seeking fully synthetic options, but frankly I don’t give a fuck whether or not you think…

That's a Dodge, I wasn't talking about the manufacturing consortium, I was talking about the actual marque.

Pick a Chrysler, any Chrysler.

Snooks is right, on Jalopnik the appropriate “I’d rather have” selections are always Miata and/or a brown diesel 80s Mercedes wagon.

The problems I see are that;

If the problem is that the role of a Japanese cyborg is being given to a white woman I’m having difficulty understanding how a Macau actress is, in any way, a more appropriate choice. Either the most qualified actress should get the role, or the role should be cast for a Japanese actress. I can’t imagine giving the…

The fact that this isn't a 6:44 long video of people gushing about the Ferrari 250 GTO is kind of grounds for a riot.

So beautiful.

I'd like to know how they adjusted this data to eliminate the role distracted driving has played in the increase in collisions the past few decades.

I don’t understand the logic of offering affluent customers who already own an S or X preferential fulfillment for a car that’s intended to bring your company and your product to the mainstream customer base.

Actually since they’re the only one who was directly involved it feels fairly important to take their input into account. A better argument would be that simply failing to complain is not a tacit approval of what went down, so people admitting her silence as proof that nothing occurred is a false point, but I…
