It begs the question though how much cost people would eat to just not interact with the sales/finance department, other than maybe signing a few things when they pick up the car. At the very least, I’d love to see how it goes if someone other than Carmax tries it. 

Where do I get to add my window tint warrenty, or my window vin etching, my last dealer told me these were vital to my happiness, and I don't want to miss out on that!

James May’s latest India series of Our Man In... was really something. (It never felt condescending; rather, while acknowledging the challenge of approaching India as a foreigner, he showed me things about my country that I never knew about.)

“You will be helping the environment” - “Yeah, cool”

Yeah have fun getting your average moron to admit or even understand that issue. If there is one thing covid showed me is that a large amount of our population is missing the critical thinking portion of their mind.

I just checked the wear bars on my Model 3 yesterday. I am about due... after 51000 miles.

It’s sort of funny that we couldn’t help ourselves with the performance possibilities of EVs so we just HAD to make every one of them accelerate like a Lambo.

I only use my vehicles indoors. 

Hard disagree. When something is objectively harming EVERYONE ON THE PLANET, you’re goddamned right I’m going to tell them to fucking stop.

That should’ve been on the list. It could’ve replaced anything there except the Cadillac and the Scirocco. 

Isn’t Godzilla in Japan?

Those Teslas weren’t actually dead. They were just lined up waiting for their turn for a reduced number of supercharger spots because the cold knocked out some of the chargers, not the cars themselves.

Er... that’s not drifting. That’s losing the back-end when you realize you made a very bad decision and try to save yourself by flooring it.

Any surveyor worth a damn knows not to route over a clutch of dragon eggs. Big mistake.

I’m not saying Vegas has good, or even decent public transit, but the tunnel is stupid because it’s just some person driving people in a Tesla, just under ground. It is literally the ideal situation for fully autonomous vehicles, 100% controlled environment, but they STILL have to pay someone to drive the car.

Seriously get me on the payroll. I will lie for money too. Being a shill (for money) is not beneath me.

Bad ideas are no match for money.

The more exotic toys on this - well, what do you expect...

I’m slightly surprised how many entries get 15 mpg. The laws of physics are clearly in play as everything is some combination of big, heavy, powerful, and unaerodynamic, except for the X6 which is ugly as sin and deserves to be launched into the sun

A lot of these on this list are Smiles Per Gallon.
