How many failures before you consider a product defective? One, five, one hundred? What are you comparing that failure rate to if the only data you have is of your own product? It’s not a black and white line between the decision to recall or not. In fact a recall like this can cause more deaths then the original…

Changing the propellant isn’t, in itself, evidence of malfeasance. Products are altered all the time to make them cheaper, better, or safer, and that is not an admission that the previous product was known to be unsafe. There is evidence to support the assertion that Takata considered the previous design unsafe, but…

It would be the ultimate union member. Has no opinion of his own, all his desires are those of the union, and all of his hard fought union mandated income can go straight back to the union people.

“Of course, this is all speculation, just like how autonomous cars will take away every automotive job and leave one robot called Stan to build every car in the next ten years. Right?”

5th:

Fiat having a higher share price than Ford is completely irrelevant considering Ford has 3 times the market cap of Fiat.

Share price without consideration of the number of shares outstanding is meaningless.

Uhh no. Try, Cisco. It’s a little networking company. Maybe you heard of it. And IBM is huge there. Research Triangle Park is the Eastern Silicon Valley

Best one of these speeches I was present for was when I was at our high school graduation, when I was in 10th grade. Although it wasn’t my graduation, I was still somewhat interested to see how it all went down.

(When you realize that all of Mr. Kluwe’s speeches have been given to his bathroom mirror, his story becomes much more entertaining.)

Dear Class of 2015

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE grad season. Seriously, of all the things I get irrationally excited about (boss letting us out at 3pm? BEST. DAY. EVER.), grad season is the tits.

What about the I3 1.0 eco-boost from Ford and call it the green machine. Would that work too?
That would annoy both Ford and Corvette people right?

One of the worst Vette’s ever produced. By the time you put enough money into it to make it look and run decent, you can get a C5 or a C6 which looks infinitely better, is faster, and has more modern comforts.

I wonder if they’ll use the same lawyers to slam Consumer Reports as they did with Top Gear, or if they’ll get a whole new fresh group.

Tesla is probably planning on suing CR for finding a problem with one of their vehicles.

Not worth the trouble. I know Teslas have generally been pretty reliable, but there is often a strong correlation between needless gadgetry and incidence of repairs/issues. There’s a little bit of a “damned if you do” conundrum where you want to surprise and delight your buyers, but a couple malfunctions and they…

In other words, Clif and Patagonia knew what they were talking about and that Potter was going to eventually get himself killed. Clearly, Potter didn’t recognize either.

But I bet that adrenaline rush the moment before impact was the fuckin’ shit, man.

Look at what the FDA allows to be called “organic” and come back and apologize, you are living in a fantasy reality, not reality

I don’t think they mean that at all. I live in a college town, and there are Camaros everywhere. The people behind the wheel are usually <25.

I feel like this entire piece was written with the sole intention of bringing into use the word, “naania.”
