Clearly, you have a lot to teach me about how large corporations operate. Please continue.

I'm not arguing that. You are correct, but there are also a lot of factors that go into that as well, which is my point. There are a lot of variables that affect the overall value of a product, and the sales numbers are only one of them.

Can confirm the manual shifter doesn't have one either.

See my reply to Germanshephard above.

It was an arbitrary number to assist my point, but your argument here is still wrong. If the vehicle is still turning a large enough profit margin it will keep being produced. That's why I made the point about selling 80% of 25,000 units being better than 50% of 100,000 units. Let's say that a...

For today's lesson: Fun with Macroeconomics. This was a great write up. A lot of people don't know or don't understand how the "little changes" implemented by executive leadership to improve operational excellence can snowball into massive costs when they realize that they overlooked variables...

Easy to skew the stats in any direction to achieve your desired outrage. Yes the overall sales numbers are down, but they're also not building as many, so there is a larger percentage being sold by production volume than in previous years. Selling 80% of 25,000 units is more profitable than...

I can agree with that.

WSP doesn't have the sense of humor that SnoCo Sheriffs do, but I still try to make them laugh.

I 100% stole this. Thanks for that.

To that point, I've been followed and even pulled over a couple times just so the officer could check out my car. I have a clean record, no tickets or accidents, and I don't drive recklessly at high speed, so there's no reason to pull me over. When they ask if I know why they pulled me over...

You're assuming he wasn't the one doing the hitting and the running. :cwl: :cwl: :cwl: Jokes aside, even with a hit-and-run, premiums usually increase. The most likely reason an insurance company will do this is to recoup the repair costs that would have otherwise been covered by the at-fault...

Says who? :cwl::cwl::cwl: Seriously though, the guy that lives next door with is big lifted diesel Ram 3500 is older than I am and is exactly everything you've just described, which might explain why other folks walk past his house to have a beer and a chat at mine.

Gulf Cooperation Council. The car has to conform to regulatory requirements of the GCC to be purchased in the nations around the Persian Gulf.

I don't know. All the 55+ folks in my neighborhood want to hear it - they ask me if I can fire it up for them. Maybe I'm just surrounded by a bunch of reformed gearheads, but they all want to talk about the cars they used to own, the races they used to have, the trouble they used to get into...

I love a good cream stout. I found one in a little brewery in Oregon that tasted like a you were drinking Tiramisu. I probably drank a whole cakes worth.

Looks like the shipping company probably dropped another package on top of your box. I don't know if I'd hold the seller responsible, but I'd probably contact the shipping company and negotiate compensation.

With as long as I waited for my Dark Horse I was starting to lose hope and the CT5 V Blackwing was exactly what I was looking at purchasing before my build date was actually confirmed.

When I wasn't sure if my Dark Horse was ever going to get built, I was looking at a Cadillac CT5 V Blackwing.
