Exactly. This is why the ELR should have come out before the Volt. You bring out any expensive new tech in the most expensive model and brand you have, not the base consumer brand. VAG gets it, it brings out stuff as Bugatti, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche, or Audi before it gets to Volkswagon, then gets passed to SEAT…

That can of beans is the closest Daddy’s Little Turd will come to touching something black....

I think that is the biggest influence, really. The change that allows capital gains to be taxed at a much lower rate than other forms of income has made investing in the market preferable to actually earning wages. Plus, no deductions for social security or the like for capital gains. And, benefit, if you lose money…

Welcome to the fold, my friend.

The upper image is non-human. The lower image at least serves the purpose for which it is intended. And both seem, in the end, to be serving the same function. 

Interesting concept, and being done for truly good cause, but like everything in life, there will be unintended consequences.

No, NASCAR already caters to that crowd. Open wheel racing appeals to F1 Eurotrash, and sports car racing to the non-euro wannabes. We understand there are well known hierarchies set for auto racing, and we cannot deviate.

I have truly hated DW ever since he was on live TV just after Jeff Gordon finally won the million dollars, and instead of offering congratulations or keeping his big stupid mouth shut, said

Meh, I like the Tarpon Springs Florida Greek community’s version. It has all of the recipe above, with lettuce, lemon juice for the dressing with the oil, some good black olives, and a scoop of potato salad under all the lettuce, along with a pepperoncini or two. And that makes for a nice surprise when you are eating…

Neutral: What Do Bronco Bronco You Think Bronco About Bronco?

Uhh, no. The Cybertruck will never sell to municpals and businesses in any great number, and the main reason is price. This Tesla abomination of a pickup will be expensive, and certainly not offered as a stripper, and that is what municipalities and businesses buy in bulk for fleets. And they buy them at a discount.…

Well, as fucked up as our state can be, the issue seems to be that the tourist who are venturing here are just as, or more, fucking idiotic than any residents. We recently ran into folks in a store that were not wearing masks who, when confronted, actually said “Oh, we’re tourists, we don’t have to wear them!”

I am still not sure if GM had the legal standing to sue, it seems the FCA employees were the ones getting the short end of the negotiations.

Neutral: What Fuel For You?

Cancel culture only exists because we hit the point Andy Warhol spoke about.

Nobody has ever knocked HD for reliability, but then, they don’t knock any other bikes for reliability, either. I rarely hear anyone knock HD for product, other than being older tech and overpriced, but for the way the company presents itself, and the base that slavishly clings to it.

Ok, if you really believe that, buy their stock. And hold it. Because in a chapter 11, which is coming sooner than later, it will be worthless. If they do rise out of the ashes, it will be a company more like the current Bell and Howell than GM. If you don’t recognize B&H, they were one of the top manufacturers of…

A negotiating better contract is an edge for any company. If the FCA contract was better than GMs, it was not by much. Yes, in a world where pennies per unit can be a large amount, but in this case, the union contracts are expressly negotiated individually rather than industry-wide, which would be the best for both…

Yep, Dad stopped the car. Perfect analogy.

Well, I agree that we need to end universal poverty, but when you have people who only make poor choices raising children, of course they will grow up to make poor choices. It is a never ending cycle.
