COMPAGNIE TOMMY posted:How about repealing the arcane state laws that compel purchasing a new vehicle through a dealership instead of direct from the manufacturer theyre not arcane so much as they represent the interests of car dealers--perhaps the most AMERICAN of the small-business bourgeoisie--to the point a bunch of states have blue laws for car sales

Nikola doesn’t generate sales yet, but analysts and investors will be eager to hear about the outlook for products such as the Tre—which will be battery powered in its initial configuration. Whether the global semiconductor shortage will slow down its product-development time lines is another key issue.

I had an 03 (iirc) elantra that I bought used and it was a great car. i sold it when I moved to Toronto because i basically never drove it there so paying $350/mo parking and insurance seemed like a huge waste when i had to get a new car that’s why I got another elantra- I’d read they were even better and more reliable than when I had mine. too bad I got one with a hosed up engine block

I'm not pleased that this decision was made, but the set-up was basically unenforceable given how state housing law and housing courts usually work. It was a Trump administration ploy to try to look like it was doing something when it wasn't actually doing anything. mila kunis posted:wtf is with all the pro-landlord people in the comments The behavior of landlords during this pandemic has been a great refresher on why Mao's hatred of landlords got him so much support among the Chinese peasantry.

If we do, wouldn't the smart thing to do would be to sell your home at a super inflated price right now? Then rent a place til the crash happens and buy a new home at a discount? But if there's not a crash coming, or if it's happening years from now, you'd be kinda screwed it seems.

I decided not to sell my car, it was an irrational decision, also vroom offered me quite a bit more than carvana so if you are looking to sell I would definitely check them out as well The vw/audi thread was quite helpful to me, though it's crazy if you look back earlier in the thread, there's a guy that bought a new Audi that was like 64k, and he said he only drove 6k miles/year https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3298776&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=300#post510719617
