Am I reading this correctly? $110K MSRP for a Hummer EV?  WTF?

This is what I did too. I bought a CPO X5 40e right before the pandemic. Fast-forward two-years and the dealer wanted to buy it back for almost what I paid for it and offered to get a new X5 45e (new model with double the electric range) in 6 weeks at MSRP. When you factor in the $7500 federal EV tax credit, it was a…

He’s a senator in Texas. The bar is really low.  They would vote for a tube of toothpaste into office as long as it said “Republican” on it.

Ovechkin is a tough one in that he was super Pro-Putin for a long time (and may still be). Putin even sent him a wedding gift. It can’t be easy for Ovechkin right now given he has so much family in Russia and makes a living in the US given his history of Putin ass-kissing. He said he doesn’t want war or conflict but…

From my experience with GT games, the only time I really purchased cars through the credit system was when I wanted to do a race series and didn’t have a car that qualified or there was some really cool one-off car that I wanted to collect. Normally, you could get all of the cars you needed/wanted just through playing…

Same here. Most of the people I know who are avid Trumpers watch Fox News everyday. It’s usually their only source (all other news sources are illegitimate in their minds) for learning about what’s happening in the world and it results in nearly all of them developing an incredibly detrimental and skewed sense of…

Agreed - a few thousand over MSRP isn’t that bad for a car that is in high demand. Pretty much every sought-after new model (Porsche GT’s, BMW CS’s, etc) is going for way over MSRP because the dealers aren’t getting many allocations. The majority of the dealers are basically selling these cars to the highest bidder. Se…

Yeah, the X5 is pretty expensive but thankfully they aren’t marking them up right now. The used market is crazy right now too - the older version of the X5 PHEV with half the range is still selling for $45-48K.  I’m really hoping that other car companies can start offering more PHEVs at lower price-points. The $7500…

Most people don’t need a full-on EV. They can get by just fine with a PHEV with about 30 miles in range, maybe even less. I don’t really like Tesla’s at all and eventually bought an X5 PHEV with 30+ miles of range. I really only use the gas engine for when I’m doing a long trip, which isn’t very often. About 90% of my…

I think that everyone is hoping for a Russian revolution endgame to overthrow Putin. It would be far worse if NATO engaged and started WWIII.  

WTF? Every person I know who works in a trade job or construction spends half their day driving around town.  They would love it if there was nobody on the roads. 

I give it a week. Tucker is already blaming Biden for the invasion. He’s basically claiming that NATO was pressuring Ukraine to join and Putin had no choice but to invade them. All of the Republican talking heads, like Candace Owens, suddenly switched from being epidemiologists to international relations experts.  And…

Update/Correction: It looks like Uralkali logo was never on the Haas Twitter page, though a bunch of people keep tweeting that it was removed, which is false.

There’s a chance that Mazepin will not be racing this year. Haas has apparently removed Uralkali from their Twitter page and Guenther Steiner was pulled from doing a press conference today. Something’s going down at Haas right now.

From what I’ve experienced, the luxury brands like BMW are pretty civilized and allow you to customize many details of your car during the ordering process. When you get to the financing person, then they really push hard on the aggressive sales stuff by trying to pressure people into buying extended warranties, etc…

Agreed. A lot of people seem to equate the price of maintenance with reliability. German cars are going to be more expensive to maintain. That doesn’t necessarily equate to them being more unreliable though.

I’ve visited WDW more times than I can remember. My last trip in July was easily the most expensive and disappointing we ever had and we did not try to do anything out of the ordinary. There was one point where we found ourselves in Hollywood Studios with nothing to do but shop or eat. Nearly every ride had a 60-140…

I did the same thing. I bought a certified pre-owned X5 40e for $45K a few months before the pandemic. I recently went to the dealership for a state inspection sticker and they offered to buy my car for $42K on the spot. The new X5 45e is $65K (no dealer markups, though no discounts), has double the electric range and…

I recently just purchased a BMW and the amount of crap the dealership tries to get people to sign up for and the ways they try to hide it into the monthly payment is borderline criminal.

If you live in the city, then public transit to Logan Airport might be reasonable (God help you if you have to take the Green Line with luggage) but for the majority of people who live further out, public transit to Logan is ridiculously slow and awful. I live 15 minutes away from Logan via car and the planned route…
