What summer jobs have $1000 week take home pay?

Bust ass one summer to pay tuition šŸ¤£ What a boomer thing to say. Summer jobs have not covered tuition in decades.Ā 

$50K BMW?Ā  Thatā€™s one hell of a strawman.

Thereā€™s a word for gluing back together an Italian car.Ā  That word is ā€œUpgradeā€.

Glad that theyā€™ll remove the plug for easier access to the interior for a few techniciansĀ when building the plane in a hangar but reinstall the plug for 178 people whose life depends on it when plane is on fire or in the water.

If finger tight is good enough for me then is should be good enough for the picky buggers at the FAA.

Re: Drug Use

ā€˜Billions in government contractsā€™

Are those the ones that didn't exist?Ā 

Can we please stop perpetuating the myth that AWD (as used in economy crossovers) provides any actual function or benefit beyond adding drag, weight, and complication?

The ad is full of shit. This car was sold on BaT in October for $11,486.

Thatā€™s perfect. Should be emblazoned on Detroitā€™s headstone.

Bob Lutz is a treasure in a weird way. Heā€™s pretty much the definition of a blowhard, but is so in a way that points out actual dumb things about the industry in general (even if he has a hand in those dumb things).

Stupidity and fragile toxic masculinity are hand and glove.Ā 

Time to go back to school and take macro/micro econ 101.Ā  The economy is far from tanked and some say it is even recovering right now.

If you think the economy is bad now you havenā€™t been alive very long.

It is just so annoying there there are those that would rather tank the economy and wreck the world than have anything that endangers their fragile masculinity like an EV, wind turbine, or solar panel.

Many famous quotes are especially memorable because they were grammatically incorrect like this. See also one small step for man, ich bin ein Beliner, etc.

Would have been amazing if theyā€™d left it stock.Ā 

If thereā€™s any car that should never be turned into a DIY convertible, itā€™s an old Lotus. These things are made with the smallest amount of material they could possibly use while still keeping the chassis rigid enough to handle well. Nothing is an ā€œoptionalā€ part - taking out the roof is going to massively compromiseā€¦
