Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Yea I have a sick car addiction and I follow the market very closely. Stellantis is the canary in the coal mine. They are also the biggest dicks in the coal mine. The prices they are charging for Jeeps/SUVs is/was pure opportunistic rape which was admittedly fueled by an idiotic public's willingnes...

:dat: It's wild. Great for my residual :lolol: My Jeep was $37K plus tax, four door loaded with pretty much everything you can get on a Sport with the 'Freedom Edition'.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

I’m with you that it’s not acceptable, but this does reinforce the point. OEMs are asking these insane prices for regular old vehicles. Stellantis did this exercise with Jeep. And now they are sitting on 300 2023 300 2024s and 100 2025s at my local dealer and some wranglers are 15000 off… the consu...

For some it's worth the price to have the first one in town. No hate on that, market economy gonna market economy. I get it, and hey, this is America, spend your money on what you want.

Sorry boss. Correct decision but it's never easy. We still haven't gotten back in the saddle after losing our two dogs a couple of years ago, in part to avoid another loss.

The thumbs down is very funny. I still haven't seen one, I guess I'm just lucky like that. I’ve tried to get in the habit of throwing a thumbs down instead of flipping other drivers off when they pull shit stunts. It’s great.

Even if I was doing it for the attention, the top end CyberTruck costs as much as a Z06 Corvette. I think I'd rather get thumbs ups in the Vette than thumbs downs in the Shed.

I saw my first Cybertruck this weekend. Then I saw it again this morning. Each time, I couldn't stop laughing. I had to point it out to my wife and we both laughed and shook our heads. The driver definitely saw us. The whole thing looks so ridiculous. It's supposed to be some dystopian, cyberpunk t...

I don’t think you’re crowdfunding anything. They are still on the hook for the venue/food/entertainment etc. you’re only funding your own room and board/transport which doesn’t seem like it should be sponsored by anyone I have gone to a destination wedding and enjoyed it.
