“1. An entry-level compact sedan, not unlike the A-Class and A3. Give it good styling and tech, and that might be enough to swing people, and...”

Why would you assume we would have similar economic damage if the second wave comes? The industries that were already hardest hit by Corona, are starting back slower, and are probably prepared for another shutdown. And those that weren’t shut down have adapted. In fact, I think that pretty much all the businesses have…

Actually, if you go back to read Tom’s previous reporting, it said that wholesale/auction pricing took the big hit. He also reported that retail pricing was holding fast at the time. Which means the divorce between pricing to the dealer and end prices to the consumer was not reflected in the market’s short-term…

No, you should always end your texts with an ellipsis, so everything you say comes off as sarcastic or disapproving, goddammit Jose!

I remember when Lifehacker would teach the audience how to set up a Linux-based media server on an old laptop or something. Stuff that required actual work and thinking and left you with a sense of minor accomplishment. Those days are long gone. 

Go read a book. Jesus.

Right. “I’ve seen it, have nothing to contribute. Now conversation is over.”

Not universally. My friends and I use it as “Acknowledged. I have seen this message but have nothing more to contribute to it.”

I NEVER END A TEXT WITH A PERIOD!!! I USE EXCLAMATION MARKS EVERY TIME!!!

Hell, I’d appreciate it if some of the people that text me at least try to form a complete thought before sending. There are at least a handful of them that seem to hit enter after every few words because they’re afraid that the message will disappear forever if they don’t send it RIGHT NOW and I get 8 rapid-fire…

I realise I’m over 40, but what’s with the thumbs up emoji? Something sexual or something racist or something else?

Wow.  How far into the B-roll of blog ideas are we by now?

I almost always send single texts with multiple sentences vs separate texts for each sentence. Maybe this makes me an old, but I prefer receiving texts this way as well. I hate hearing my phone sound off three different alerts for what is essentially one text/thought from a friend. I feel the long text with proper…

Are the writers here just bored anymore? Doctor of opinions over here trying to fluff that paycheck. Imagine thinking using periods right now in the world is an issue that warrants this type of write up...

“Rollover? Multiple vehicles? Doesn’t matter: they’re all going to be marked ‘COVID-19' on their death certificate.”

Okay but does the Mustang rate take pedestrians into account?

Also the first cars tend to be cheaper cars- driven by inexperienced drivers so they have a higher accident rate which would indicate more fatalities- this was explained to me why the insurance rate on my Mitsubishi Mirage was higher than my 350z

Terrible take; the union workers are getting their full pay regardless of the situation. They’re certainly not facing the same hardships as other people who’ve permanently lost their jobs. Meanwhile, no one is buying cars, FCA is losing billions (this isn’t last year) and 12 million could certainly go a long way in…

Fiat Chrysler, an automaker that lost 1.8 billion last quarter, is having 24,000 of its workers pay back an average of $500 in unemployment benefits they received from the company after the U.S. government raised its unemployment allowance.

Might be going to offset the tend of millions they are losing this year as a result of the Corona Virus.  There are many articles about huge losses on as site called Jalopnik.  Maybe give it a read sometime.
