Many of us knew it was a bullshit excuse.

This fucken clown.

I could definitely see it being on the top of the list for many people.

 

I'm starting to get the new car itch, and I'm looking around there is just about nothing out there that interests me that is at a price I'd be willing to pay.

I've never really been in this situation before. I've always loved to look at what new cars are out and even think about what I'd buy if something happened to my daily driver, but man is the selection out there bleak as hell. New or slightly used. Here is my short list, but even the cars on the list all have at least one (and most have 2 or 3) thing I've not crazy about.

New Mustang. Never been a Mustang-guy before but I saw the new one in person and I liked it more than I thought I would.

New or slightly used Camaro. Like the Mustang, it's more impractical that I really want, but still tempted.

WRX. I still haven't forgiven Subaru for phoning-it-in with this redesign. I'm actually hoping a mid-cycle refresh solves this issue.

Genesis G70. I really want to like this car.

Kia Stinger. The lack of a manual is really the biggest issue - love the hatch design. There's just something about this car that feels cheap. Which is weird because in higher trims, it really isn't a cheap car.

CT5-V. No not the Blackwing. I wish. I'd definitely onky be looking at used ones. I feel it is underrated car. It's got probably the best proportions of any regularly priced car on sale today. That long hood, short deck proportions is phenomenal.

Chevy Trax. The new one. This one is a total left field pick, but I'm totally digging the super low price and small, but not too small, size. A neighbor has one ans it's lower than most other crossovers so the wagon-ness of it really appeals to me.

Nizzan Z. Like the Camaro and Mustang, this is very impractical but the old-school nature of it (manual, RWD) is incredibly appealing.

Toyota GR Corolla. Lots to like about this, but I get the feeling it would be unobtainium because I sure fuck am not paying a dealer markup.

What's your short list of cars?

They know to fall in-line because a strong Republican Party helps all of them, from the president, all the way down the line to locally elected candidates.

Why can't Democrats see this?

Oh god. Please aim higher than that. Not saying that Blender ain't powerful, because it clearly is, but it's UI is just plain shit. (Unless there have been some massive improvements over the last few years.)

Do they even know that??

Being good for a group of people is not the same as them knowing that you've been good for them. This is eternally where Democrats fall flat on their faces.

Home ownership in the US has hovered between low 60% and high 60% for around 6 decades now, but sure, let's pretend that it ain't possible no more because some people only want to post doom-and-gloom bullshit because they have ulterior motives.

This should be a wake up call to the DNC brass and to people on social media who have been blindly claiming that Republican voters are only rich white old men.

Not only is that stereotype simply not accurate, but this endless and insufferable focus from the Left of only chasing social issues is turning off a whole bunch of regular folks out there. Instead of championing causes that can help literally millions of people out there, time and time again the Left is worrying about bullshit like pronouns and drag queens. Dems are constantly assuming that just because someone is br9wn or black that they will agree with core Democratic party policies. The reality is that there are many folks from minority ethnic groups who are conservative or moderate and they see the Dems wasting all their time and effort on these fringe groups.

I always think of it like Pokemon. I want to collect them all.

But it's hard to say goodbye!

The CEO said collecting vintage cars.

I know people aren't going to believe this, but honestly, you don't need to be a bazillionaire to collect vintage cars. It sure helps (a lot!!), but depending upon what he was collecting, you can buy certain classics for (relatively speaking) cheap.

The director at my old company was into classic cars too and we would shoot-the-shit all the time about his cars and mine.

I heard this years later by my former boss. He used to work for a company that just announced some lay-offs because work was slow. Right as the lay-offs were being announced the head of the company pulled into the lot with his new Porsche lease. It was terrible timing, but the corporate lease was up and the car was ordered months prior. Just made the owner look especially tone-deaf since the car came the same say as the lay-off announcement.

If 1 person has a question, then chances are good most people have that same question but are too afraid to ask it in front of everyone.

 

Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What's the deal?
