What’s the value of the hit to reputation?

I love a denial of all allegations coupled with a willingness to pay $2.6M in fines. Makes total sense to me.

Putty! Yes, thank you! I’ve been saying these colors look like they were mixed with sand, but it didn’t seem accurate. And BTW, I assume everyone has seen this right?

Yes you can, and the power works both ways. I have had underlings initiate relationships, then later threaten to go to HR (light blackmail) when I wanted to end it.

So, here is the thing. We do not know the details, correct? So if this accuser was seen as trying to black mail him or raise accusations over something that was not wrong wouldn’t that lead to them being in trouble?

Is the two-speed transfer case standard across the range, as it was in the prior two generations of GX? That would be a must for me, in a car of this class. In fact, I had to search far and wide for a late (2014-2016) LR4 that had it, as it became optional in those years.

Please. It’s the face of the kid you keep. This is the face you send to boarding school and summer camp because you can’t stand looking at their ridiculous puss.

It looked lovely in the Camel Tan color when the first photos came out.

Judging by the way previous gen GXs (or the LX, Land Cruiser, or even 4Runner) hold value, I wouldn’t wouldn’t hold my breath.

Anywhere in Colorado, while the Subie is definitely a top-3 candidate, it does not beat out the Wrangler or Bronco.

It’s about 19% 2-door Wrangler, 19% 4-door Wrangler, 19% 2-door Bronco, 19% 4-door Bronco, 19% Subaru Outback, and 5% “Other.”

Unless you’re more than 10 miles east of Colorado Springs, then it’s 50% “old…

“High priced” is a relative concept. In a world where the average new car costs nearly $50k, maybe $100k for a performance machine isn’t all that crazy?

Mercedes, Crohn’s may be caused or exacerbated by too little vitamin D in the body. The immune system does not function on all four out of four cylinders without it. (Plenty of stuff comes up if you google Crohn’s and vitamin D, not all of it accurate. Of particular note, it’s very hard to get sufficient D from food,…

I’ll give you some insight from someone who sold Fords for 23 years (I started in 1997 at 20yrs old to Jan 31 2020 when I left due to severe Crohn’s Disease). I’m met Hau Tai-Tang. He’s a brilliant engineer and a true car guy (met him when he was the lead on the S197 Mustang in 2006 in Carlisle). He truly knows his…

Part of the problem for me, and this doesn’t so much apply to trucks like Mavericks / Rangers, is that people buy these massive trucks and don’t know how the Hell to park them, or they straight-up just don’t care. I can’t recount how many times I pulled into the parking lot at work, only to find some dipshit in a…

Looked like it should have cost less than $20k? For a hybrid 5 seater? Seems like a great deal to me.

Let’s take it one step further:

I had the opposite reaction. I though the SC looked stubby in person, kinda toy-like. I thought the Maverick looked more like a traditional small truck than I expected. Different strokes, right?

I just had to reply to this thread, as someone who has worked at, well... clearly a much better dealership than those from all of these stories, for the last 16 years. Anything like what was mentioned above or below would never fly here. I’m genuinely blown away reading some of these stories - keep in mind I live in…

It is exactly nonsense like this why the last 2 cars I purchased were through an online car dealer. I no longer have any patience to sit in a cubicle for several hours while the sales person goes back and forth to the sales manager, and then when you get through that you have to deal with “Finance”...
