A sign of a good salesman is being able to tell the customer why their product is the best choice for the customer. Simply bashing the competitor only communicates that you don’t know why your product is better.

Maybe the Telluride is better than what came before it, but that company has been struggling with engine reliability for their SUVs. If you are looking only for leases, there is little risk. If you are going to own one for the long haul, buy Honda or Toyota.

It’s one of their snarky Liberal inside jokes. Eventually they will decide the joke has run its course and laugh their arses off when they come clean that they were never a real automotive site.

I had a Base trim with 6-speed manual and was looking for an automatic in the top trim. I liked the car so much that I was willing to take a hit on the trade-in upgrade. That basic WRX with the manual was about as much fun as you can have with your pants on. The stereo had to be upgraded ASAP, but otherwise it was…

It was a poor choice indeed, to put a CVT in a WRX. I was looking to replace my 2015 WRX with a higher trim level and something that my, bless her heart, wife could drive without causing everyone in the car to have a nervous breakdown.

Only $3 in his wallet, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this engineuitive kid had the car title and a fake ID in the glove box. Still would have been short a good deal of money, but good a good start if he has great credit.

Better not say that too loud. If things go to crud, you will be the bad guy for 1) having money, 2) not spending the money ahead of time to prop up the economy and 3) for making those less fortunate and those that are irresponsible feel bad about not having money.

Even if Darasa isn’t her correct name, unless she is using a non-China purchase device and a secure (illegal) VPN, they could find her easy enough. China’s problem, is that they almost have information overload. They monitor EVERYTHING.

They are in no way our friends. Research their trade deals, pervasive investments in US companies to the point of controlling interest. Not to mention the way they treat other countries. Let me leave you with this.....Look at the way they treat their own people. If the CCP treats their own kind they way they do, how…

He IS THE BEST FREIGHTER PILOT IN THE GALAXY.

You make a good point. Both people in your case shouldn’t be fired if they were not doing anything in their online material that in any way is tied to the companies they work for. Also as long as they don’t do anything at work that violates HR behavioral policy, they should be fine. 

I got caught the same way years ago by the Texas DPS in the middle of the night. I pulled over down at bottom of the hill. I knew he was going to turn on me because I saw the reflection of the light bar and his brake lights as he disappeared over the top of the hill. He asked why I pulled over. I just said I…

As for tires, she usually bought the cheaper tires. To compound the wear issue, the engine would bog, stutter and then surge. While it couldn’t seem to spin the tires, no doubt it did wear them down faster.

I don’t have personal, first hand experience, but know a couple of people that have them.

Maybe it is one of those “Well, you are still alive.....{awkward silence ensues}” wins.

I’m not a motorcycle guy, but it was interesting to see a Royal Enfield here in the US. The last time I really recall seeing them were in India in the mid ‘00's. They weren’t like super common there and they seemed bigger/fancier than the INT 650. I asked some Indian coworkers about the REs and they said most of the…

Attorneys make big $$$ on these cases. Even if they only collect 10% on settlements or wins, we are talking 10% of huge numbers. Don’t get me started on personal injury lawyer cuts.

What I difference a day makes. The Morning Shift is back to automotive news. Thanks Mr. Shilling for bringing us the industry and related news w/o SJ noise.

You are unusual in a good way. Not too often you hear someone say that both sides are showing political leanings. Usually one side will claim complete white hat innocence of intention. I wasn’t trying to hide my politics, but I was far from promoting my politics. I was pointing out an instance when one of Jalopnik’s…

If they do make landfall, I’m sure there is a dry, grassy field they can park them in.
