Also, regardless of political leanings, how many young people even watch cable news anymore? It’s not worth the exorbitant cable TV fees and you can get the exact same stuff in written form on their websites, and it’s much faster to read than to watch news, unless you’re blind. I question the value of using cable news…

If you regularly share your car with a family member and thus spend time in the passenger seat now and then, how do they differentiate phone use during that scenario from phone use while driving? 

This reminds me of how Toyota had to issue a public statement when questioned about ISIS acquiring nice new Toyota trucks.

Discless, not diskless... It still has a hard drive which is a disk, not a disc! 

Marrying a US citizen doesn’t automatically grant you legal status, and if you were in the US illegally at the time of the marriage, it basically locks you out of the most common ways to get legal status. On top of that, the spouse who is already in the US must prove his/her ability to financially support the…

I bought an ancient Honda Civic for $2000, then lived like a pauper for over a year, basically not eating out, not buying new video games, stinging on heat to save on utility bills, etc.

Buying my first desirable car with cash felt great.

Seriously, everyone should start off with the cheapest clean-title Civic or…

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.

Obama originally shut down the Keystone XL. Getting “revenge” on Obama is more important than figuring out whether America actually benefits from this damn thing.

I thought Fatty was all about America First?

The Keystone XL pipeline would mainly benefit a Canadian company (which also faces strong opposition in its own country from environmentalists)

All I see is yet another lame attempt to “get back” at Obama.

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.
