Trump is not such a tough guy when he's standing next you being pleasant, smiling, and not telling you about how he's going to put NYC under Sharia Law, is he? Maybe DEMOCRATIC socialism isn't the boogeyman you made it out to be??????

It's already $65k ish with the Hurricane. And they charge more for the "protest" of having the Hemi in the Ram. So we are talking nearly $70k for a car that will be slower, especially if they make it RWD. Yawn. No thanks.

Jared’s theory:
If billionaires want to enjoy cars so damn much, stop buying supercars. Build trains, make the poors ride them, then the roads will open so you can actually enjoy the cars you have now. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I would never argue that cars got worse over that time. I only scream from the rooftops that our labor was devalued, especially lower income people. And automakers started making cars for wealthier people.

It was about $70,000 in 2002. A Porsche 911 was $67,900.
We are at like $84,000 in 2025. A Porsche 911 is $120,100.
In 2002, a 911 was 97% of the median salary.
In 2025, a 911 is 143% of the median salary.

I think you could take out weighting by comparing the cost of the car as percentage of income. So if the car was 50% of your income in 2002 and it's now 65% of your income in 2025, your wage has not kept up with inflation.

NOPE. We don’t want her. She can do all the damage she wants to her own party, that’s useful. But unless she wants to be pro LGBT and actually APOLOGIZE for the Jewish Space Laser comment, she can stay hated by both parties.
