you are aware that _many_ _many_ bands pay for exactly that. many opening acts pay (or their promoter pays) for their band to open for a big name. many others play festivals for free for the same reason.

You are aware Chevy gave Astronauts Corvettes for press coverage, right?

in this specific case, they were looking for 3 cars for an intensively televised activity with the opportunity to have their brand name mentioned several dozen times during the broadcast, on all the morning news shows, all the press coverage etc.

cool. there are good reasons to own a diesel, but in almost all use cases saving money is not one of them. (also it is 10.5 quarts of oil!)

Italy’s golden visa is cheaper than Portugal at 250k euro (plus they have all those 1 euro houses in tiny beautiful mountain towns, so buy 250,000 houses and become a real estate magnate)

Spain is 500k

Canoo should be paying NASA for the opportunity. If NASA paid 1 single penny for the astronaut ground transport vehicles, it was malfeasance.

my car’s most frustrating feature is the complete lack of a Mr. Fusion and Flux Capacitor.

wondering if you bought the diesel because you regularly tow heavy things long distance or just because you wanted a diesel.

also, roughly half of belgium is ethnically and speaks french, while the other half is/speaks flemish.

I put it to you that Belgium is not really a country, but in fact 2 rebel provinces, one of the Netherlands and one of France that joined forces and decided to call themselves a country.

so how long until they start selling the LS1 (Lawrence Stroll, Lance (Lawrence Stroll Junior)‘s daddy 1)

horse shits, news at eleven.

that is clearly a stunt butt.

US EEZ starts 200 miles out. “national waters” are 12 miles/20km

By law, in some states they are explicitly loans, not rental agreements, and historically they have been “rent to own” agreements everywhere.

why the hell would you want a black roof? do these people not summer?

bullshit. this is an MBA driven “fuck the customer” policy.

they get to screw you on the lease, then get a nice “certified” used car for the dealer to slap back on the lot for more than what the buyout would be.

when I bought my 2007 pilot (in grey) I was quite disappointed that the much prettier 2006 darker grey was discontinued.  some shades of grey look good, many are just bland.

honestly the only 2 “colors” that aren’t shades of grey or so close to grey that they are effectively grey are the (not so great) red and the yacht blue. the other blue is just grey that got uppity.

Under guardrail != Split by guardrail.

you should see my handwriting.

oh noes a common design language. not like the Audi A3-8 where you can’t tell them apart unless you look at the badge on the trunklid.

Also, who thinks console shifters are a good idea for automatics? they are dumb and wasteful of space that could be better used for almost anything else.
