The only ACC system I’m familiar with is Subaru’s Eyesight system, which is camera based. I find it to be excellent. The only thing a little strange is if I get stuck behind a slow moving vehicle because the passing lane has a lot of traffic. If I’ve slowed down significantly waiting for an opening, once I get into…

The symbolism of Valkyries would have been a bit better as well. It’s not like Vader was victorious, after all.

Apparently the Bud Light boycott has been successful in that BL sales dropped and have not recovered, despite efforts by InBev to advertise their way out. One of the big problems for InBev is that BL is not a particularly unique product. Drinkers can easily switch to an equivalent light beer, so they can boycott…

Yeah, I’m with you on that. I could maybe love the salmon with a different second color. That gray looks too much like primer to me. Or maybe I could appreciate the gray better against something less vibrant, but those two together makes it look like a work in progress to me. Which is a shame, because the coachwork is…

Too be clear, if I was paying that kind of money for quality models I would at least store them in the original boxes as well. I understand the value and pleasure of collecting. I used to regret not having better cared for my old Matchbox cars instead of letting my nephews have at them, but I’m happy that they gave up…

I see your models and I have to think something similar to your observation about the actual cars: The models sit in the original boxes, and not run around on the carpet by a ten-year-old.

It’s the stupidity of trickle-down economics. It fails to recognize that wealth does not move down, it inexorably moves up. Cut taxes for the bottom third of taxpayers and they will spend that money, creating business demand, and that in turn will create demand for labor and capitol investments. It just keeps moving…

The Monte Carlo and the Eldo would have sold in a heartbeat for thousands more here around Chicago, and would be completely donked out.

I remember thinking that the Ciel would have been a huge hit.

It’s fine to peel them if you’re sitting in your home, but we’re talking road food! You can’t fiddle that much while driving. The advantage to the cheese stick is that it’s wrapped. You can drop it in your lap at a moment’s notice if necessary.

I know that it’s been done here, just not lately. Cheese sticks came up. I know because someone called me a monster because I bite through the stick instead of peeling it apart.

I could buy that if this was a Hyundai dealer, but this is a Cadillac and Buick/GMC dealer. Their customers expect more out car buying than this dealer is accused of. But, yes, $2.6M in fines is probably a financial was, especially since they can write it off as a business expense. That would be the change to tax law…

India is a left-side drive country, though.

What’s the value of the hit to reputation?

I seriously could have believed that all the spa text was an April Fools’ Day prank.

If the upper can close with the lower remaining open, it would be really helpful for bringing home long supplies like lumber, pipes or conduit. Assuming anybody buying such a luxo-barge would actually fetch such materials on their own.

I think that Subarus are an exception to regular market forces. Their popularity with a loyal fanbase keeps prices artificially propped up. I imagine that Big 3 models can’t command such pricing on most models.

I love a denial of all allegations coupled with a willingness to pay $2.6M in fines. Makes total sense to me.

NASA has now committed to a final decision on what to do with the craft by the end of August

Dick’s son Cole agrees:
