There is nothing pretty about this car.  Nothing.

Except us Elantra enthusiasts..........nah :)

Yeah VWs are extremely rare outside of certain metropolitan areas.  A ton of people are wary of German cars, myself included.

And you might even be conservative at 85%

I had a coworker who had an unhealthy love and loyalty to the company.  They had their apartment decked out in the company’s gear, sprayed effusive praise on linkedin about the company, everything.  They were among the first to go during downsizing a few years back.  NEVER be loyal to a job...only stay with a…

$1,200 for a functioning minivan with a clean interior would have been a nice deal in 2019.  Now it’s a steal.

Inflation was increasing heavily well before Putin invaded Ukraine.  Government spending (part during Trump admin, part Biden) is the main culprit.

Pfft, we’ve got Amtrak, the finest passenger train system in the world :)

I used DoorDash once...just took too long for my liking.  I’d rather just get in the car and pick up my food fresh.  I really do wish we’d get in line with our European brothers and limit this tipping stuff.  If a living wage can’t be paid competitively then it’s a service that doesn’t need to exist.

There is no such thing as a labor shortage....there is only a labor shortage at what you’re willing to pay.

Hot take (not really): The plant will not be demolished for still many more years.
