As long as cargo trucks and tourists that are merely passing through and not actually stopping in the city have a viable alternative, I’m fine with tearing down the portions of freeways that cut through cities as they really are eyesores.

Problem is that some cities like Vancouver in Canada go way too far - tourists…

Actually, the windmills-cause-cancer claim could be exploited for the greater good.

These are the standard car tariff rates for major developed markets, in the absence of FTAs:

EU: 10%
Japan: None, but they do have fairly significant non tariff barriers that result in a tiny foreign market (mostly high end European makes)
Korea: 4%
Canada: 6%
Mexico: None
Australia: 5% 
China: 15%
New Zealand: None

The irony is that many of the workers at BMW’s and Mercedes’s US assembly plants voted for this shitstain - and much of their product is exported to China which hit back with retaliatory tariffs.

Now the new X3 is being made in China for the Chinese market, instead of being imported from the US, as was the status quo…

China’s standard car tariff is 15% (cut from 25% in 2018). They raised it to 40% for the US during the trade war and temporarily scaled it back down as a sort of truce.

Ironically when you look solely at cars, the trade war hurts the US far more than China, as US car exports to China significantly outnumber the…

The prices of those US-made cars will go up though, because the proposed tariffs affect parts.

Actually Bush (narrowly) won the popular vote in his re-election campaign, arguably helped by his handling of 9/11.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t put it past Fatty to orchestrate a false flag terrorist attack to achieve the same thing. I’m not trying to make up conspiracy theories about 9/11 itself, but the fact that 9/11…

You can still buy full size luxury sedans like the Lexus LS, BMW 7 series, etc. More budget-priced alternatives like the Genesis G80, Kia K900, Buick LaCrosse, Toyota Avalon, etc also exist. They have all the interior comforts of land yachts while actually fitting into city parking spaces.

I don’t have a problem with the trucks costing $50k+, or even $100k+. The consumer has every right to not select those luxury options and drive out with a $30-$40k truck with cloth seats.

What I do have a problem with is the fact that the warranty terms are no different from those of economy cars. For example, the B2B…

Why would you want to do any physical harm to a corpulent wimp?

As a martial artist, I strongly believe in only swinging at those who can fight back. Fatty will likely suffer a heart attack (or just collapse and cower in the corner) before the first punch even manages to connect. There’s no honor in that. I’d much…

Idi Amin lived to a ripe old age, and Robert Mugabe is still alive and kicking at 95.

Modern medicine has a bad habit of rewarding the worst of humanity.

Note: Most of the Japanese “imports” that really ate the Big 3's lunch were made in the US - Hondas in Ohio and Toyotas in Kentucky. 

Entry level BMWs, especially in base trim, are mostly leased by people who just want to show off that badge. You could make it FWD with a Corolla engine and they wouldn’t notice (or care). As long as the profit from these suckers goes towards maintaining fun cars in the rest of the lineup (e.g. the M3 and M5), I don’t…

Correction: Remind *decent* people.

His base doesn’t get reminded.

If Fatty wants GM to “bring jobs back” from China he should hurry up and sign the greatest trade deal in the history of the world. China’s tariffs are a big reason why GM invests so much in China. At the same time, Chinese consumers see “Made in <Western country>“ as a label of prestige...

It make sense to assemble the…

I suspect many were fleet sales.

Had multiple cars with black leather - they all get hot during the summer when parked outside. Remote starters take care of the problem though, especially if combined with ventilated seats.

Tell that to old people (especially those above the age of 70). The sooner we can get them into self driving cars the better, but right now we’re allowing them behind the wheel and their ability to react swiftly after seeing a danger is questionable. 

In that case the Demon would need an expensive RHD conversion to be street legal in Australia. I’m sure at least a few buyers will pay for that lol.

The Big 3 really need to get their RHD game together if they’re to compete on the world stage. The Mustang only JUST got an official RHD version, whereas almost every…

You can thank the luxury car tax of 33% on the portion of pre-tax MSRP that exceeds a certain threshold (around $66k which rises to $80k for electrics or exceptionally efficient cars). It’s a huge cash cow for their government.

Non-luxury car prices in Australia are fairly reasonable for the most part relative to…
