Do you think this is what's going to push Musk to retire? It won't work.
>>27664555Musk is too absolutely fucking delusional to retire. He believes his own hype. The only way he "retires" is if all of his businesses crash and burn and no one gives him another cent of VC funding.
>warming up a bit>see so many people with windows open on the highway>Imagine the buffeting>mfw perfectly functioning AC
>>27664061yeah they're pretty good. can crack the windows open when it's raining
>AC on full blast>"It's too cold, need to roll down my window to counter">Now have AC on full blast with nice warm breeze floating through windowIt's that simple
>>27663126Project harder
>>27663000my AC works perfectly fine but i like driving with my windows down in the summer, as long as there's good air movement.
>sun comes out>roof goes downThe A/C works fine, but I paid for a convertible so even if it's 0°C, as long as the sun is out, the roof is down
did the French force him out because he didn't parrot the EV marketing checklist?
oh look another pussy and pair of tits running a company built by men to run it into the ground.
>>27663591she's done so little (to her credit, she hasn't actively ruined anything either) that I wonder if she's even allowed to make decisions, or just carry out instructions from france
>>27663549>>27663485>Her last position at the Dearborn automaker was as director of global marketing strategy from 2008 to 2009.She's was around with Ford and in charge of marketing strategy for a year when nothing happened. Great. Truly a better CEO than the guy who literally started at Dodge working in the service department and worked his way up to President and CEO over 3 decades.
>>27663629That's just how CEO promotions work though. Check what Kuniskis' last string of jobs were before his first CEO position; he was a marketing guy too.For anything that isn't a startup or in some instances these days a tech company, 90% of CEOs are going to be either accounting/finance department MBA bullshitters or someone from the ads/sales/marketing department. Corporations have been like this since the 80's; as soon as you carve out your market niche or hit your first market saturation plateau the only way to make more money is to cut costs and sell more. The result was tons of corporations hiring ad agency and marketing guys as their CEOs in order to find out a way to push more products, something which continues to this very day. Feuell is more of the same; if anything it's the blandest CEO appointment of all time.What a fucking name for a car company CEO though. Surprised they haven't capitalized on that.
>>27663601Considering Dodge's pivot and the fuckery that occurred with the Last Call models it's entirely possible that he was subject to the same thing regardless.
Is this car any good?

Tell me a good reason as to why this is not the coolest volvo out there

20 y/o here. Should I get a Chevy Suburban in this economy or downsize to a smaller vehicle. I need something with a lot of cargo space but don't want to get assraped by gas prices. I found a GMT800 Suburban in blue and really like it, but it probably isn't a smart decision in the long run.
>>27662378That's because they all dissolved. They're a rarity on the road these days. I always respect a clean one when I see one.
>>27662419Wrong. If you actually lived on the coast, you'd know this. Where do you live? A shithole I bet.

Yo what SUV do I get if I specifically don't care about gas mileage? Needs to be cheapie bobiepies
>Be porsche>make some of the best front engine sports cars ever >2.5 turbo 4>3.0L n/a 4 >even a 4.5 to 5.4 v8 offered in the 928>basically offered the equivalent of modern ecoboost and coyote mustangs with transaxles and top tier suspension from the 70s to the 90s>make the boxster and never make a front engine coupe againI know they were a bit more expensive than the competition, but I feel like people would be drooling over these in the present day if they were made by toyota or nissan. I mean big bore 4 cylinders and a 32v v8 making 345hp in the early 90s? I really wish porsche still made stuff like this instead of suv's and goudy panameras.
>>27661198Back in the day yes but now 944 is cheaper than foxbody or s chasis
>>27663416944s are cheaper because they're a poor platform for modification which limits the buyer pool. Fox body and S chassis are expensive because of massive aftermarket and ease of modification. If your 944 is non turbo, turbocharging it is non trivial, and is actually a lot more of a pain than most cars like it, the differential is weak too. If you want to a 944 you either need to figure out a way to use the torque tube with the engine you're installing or completely rework the underbody and rear end, this is a lot of extra work and expense vs what is a downright trivial thing to do with a fox body or s chassis nissan.
>>27660334
>>27661191Two of those are Volkswagens, not Porsches. But the one with the V8 is good.
>>27663053>924, which was a joint developmentVW was not involved at all aside from commissioning Porsche to design a new sport coupe for them before ultimately rejecting the design in favor of the Scirocco. Porsche bought the design back and set to work redesigning the thing to eliminate all the VW parts over the following years.
Ok guysWhat car would Nero roll in?This should be an interesting thread.
Probably something ItalianProbably something expensive
>>27663386This and probably a motorcycle
>>27663350Stretch hummer and would race it.>e entered a chariot race in which participants were supposed to use only four horses. Unbelievably, he arrived with ten horses. Incensed, but unwilling to stop him, officials allowed Nero to participate in the race. Despite such a massive advantage, he did not fair well. Nero was no athlete, known to be overweight and out of shape.>Shortly after the race began, he lost control of his chariot while entering a turn, injuring himself so severely, it almost killed him. Nero’s nearly fatal accident was not the most outrageous part of the race, however, as he was proclaimed the winner, even though he was unable to finish the race, due to severe injuries.
I can’t find a picture of Putin standing on a car, when he was giving some speech. What kind of car was it? Was it his, or did he just stand on some random car?>>27663350Didn’t he appoint his horse to office?
>>27663562Wow they gave him almost as much latitude as any common tranny gets today
I can't stand negotiating with used car sellers cuz I'm a beta boy so I'm rolling the dice at a Copart auction today. I need a car ASAP and I'm wondering how I can make the best decision possible. Budget is less than $10k and the vehicle needs to have a bit of space for me to comfortably sleep in the back. Thanks
>>27661418What's there to negotiate anyway? Either the price fits or it doesen't
>>27661418Look on Carvana or Carmax instead, they do a good job with return policies.
>>27662913Prices are fluid (slimy) in America
>>27661418Don't do it.t. Bought from copart twice
isn't this really only for parts cars or shit that needs a complete rebuild?
is a 944 a good car?
>>27662089factual, but doesn't disprove anything that I said. the 944 block (all years/models) is a pure porsche design.
>>27661191
>>27660349no porsche ever had a volvo engine
>>27660337Only an american will look at a piece of art and think it must be stuffed with something oversized, brutish and obnoxious
>>27660337The 944 is an LS swap paradox. Base models are affordable and drive well, but they're dog slow so they're most in need of more power. But the transmission is in the back, and the extra torque from a V8 will blow it to bits, so you either have to source a Turbo/S2 transaxle (expensive) or cut up the whole chassis to fit a conventional F-body drivetrain (a lot of work and shifts the weight balance over to the front).Meanwhile the Turbo and S2 already come with a very strong transaxle, but they're rare and expensive compared to base models, and already have a significant power bump over the base models in stock form so there's a lot less incentive to drop a V8 into one in the first place.TL;DR LS swapping a base 944 either fucks the handling or gets expensive, LS swapping a Turbo or S2 is both expensive and kinda silly because of their rarity.
Errrr, what did she mean by this?
>>27664271There is where I live, but it's referring to the easy possibility of injury or death when driving over someone.
>>27664271Not yet
>>27662699>Errrr, what did she mean by this?Indicating that the SUV driver does not know how to make a left turn, and really should not be driving.
>>27662699
>>27662699>oops sorry, your car is so low I didn’t see you there, teehee
>be normie in November>buy a car for $10k without even looking at it closely>start browsing /o/ and getting into cars >look on the underside of the car for the first time >it's fuckin filled with rust >have to sell to Carmax or some shit for $2k probably Pic related example of the pinch welds kek.
>>27663019The thing is I don't think most people are out to scam. I think they just know jack shit about vehicles. They don't even bother to take it to a mechanic to see what needs to be fixed before they try to sell it. The places you need to watch out for are the buy here pay here auto shops that purposefully fuck with the vehicles so they can continue to get money out of you.
>>27663012OP when I bought my first car, I was obsessed with finding a rust-free example, which I could easily do by checking used cars all over. I succeeded in doing so.However I was so obsessed with finding rust, I neglected to check the mechanical side more thoroughly, and so the engine blew up shortly after. Luckily engine swaps only cost £500 including labour because the car had a huge aftermarket, but it still stings.
>>27663294New York car it was indeed hahaCarfax simply said no frame or flood damage, which I checked. >>27663994Meh in my case all it takes is one look at the underside of the car to tell. Granted, it's not like it's literally falling apart this very second, it's just that within a few more Winters, the car will be unsafe to drive if it's not fixed the right way. I could definitely see a dealer, even with a good conscious, sell this car for the price it was offered. >>27664055Did you think the dealer knew about the engine problems?
>>27663012if the car is a dime a dozen, drive it until it falls apart then scrap itif the car isn't something you see 12 parked on your street every day, bondo and sell to a suckerif the car is somewhat rare, put in the effort and repair it proper>be me>looking for a specific car for years>never see them for sale, sometimes pop up for 15k>this model is worth 8k ish at best>see one advertised for 2k>rqp rotted straight through and filled with spray foam>buy it>2k in tools, paints etc to fix it myself>no more cancer>4k for my 8k car that people pay 15k forComment too long.

>>27664319I could sell it to a sucker because it's somewhat clean on the outside and it's not so common. Easy to get fooled into thinking it's in great condition. But I'm above scamming kids. I'll take the $8k hit as a lesson. And I have to move across the country soon, so I don't have time to fix it, nor do I want to ship or drive the car.
>go to automatic car wash (my hose at home is broken and the only manual one i knew of around me is defunct so i have to resort to the slap n scuff)>drive up to screen>attendant gives the spiel of a membership etc.>just get the base wash (the more expensive ones literally don't do anything better anyway for every other auto wash)>they select it for me>new screen pops up>it's a fucking tip screen>$2, $,5, etc.they literally are asking for tips at automatic car washes now. what the fuck? you could make an argument for tipping at restaurants because they get paid like 12 cents, but a fucking car wash?
>>27660002Even restaurant tipping is US only phenomenon. Here they're paid just like everyone else.
>>27661727So they're taking the waiters tips until they reach a treshold? Very kind of them. How about paying them fairly and allowing them to keep their money?
>>27661784are you stupid or just retarded? >minimum wage is $10 (for the sake of easy math)>David pays Betty $5 plus tips>one week Betty works 40 hours>however she only makes $100 in tips>her total is (40x5=200)+100=$300>minimum wage for 40 hours would be $400>because of this David is legally obligated to cover the $100 that Betty is short>therefore her total pay for the week is $400, exactly minimum wage>the next week Betty works 30 hours>she also makes $200 in tips>her total for the week is 150+200=350Comment too long.

>>27661640There was a pizza joint (like brick oven restaurant, not fast food) where the owner decided to split all profits for a day with the employees.Everyone wound up getting like $87 an hour.Imagine going back to work the next day and begging for tips all night just to have gas money to get home and then realizing your boss just made enough to cover your rent just from the dinner rush.
>>27661878That looks like a great argument against tipping. That a state would allow such abuse makes me retch
