The only thing I’m concerned with is being correct

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@Shenk36 I had one for breakfast Sunday

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

In like two hours I’ll see @Shenk36 saying that a normal glizzy is a breakfast food

[VillainVS @ AX2026!!!! @JAPversus]

I've been doing this for years

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@EricMTerrill1 Didn’t say cheap to maintain so gonna stretch the years a bit and say late model 4L Audi Q7.

They can be had dirt ass cheap

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@GeorgeRoush Ngl the big ass brick of soap is decent soap

[Mauthe Doog 👁️ @mauthe_doog]

You're telling me that government censorship didn't stop at the things we thought were icky and is now steamrolling everything? Wow, I can't believe this, if only someone had been telling us this the whole time

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@SpeedSportLife @partizantrader People don’t believe me when I say this. Had real issues we could’ve resolved at a former employer but can’t force the dealerships to do anything even if it’s better for the customer

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@GuntFunkson Don’t you do me like that. I need hope man

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@IAmSuburban I still want one

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@Shenk36 @SR20_Debt Shit

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@GeorgeRoush Ever since the first time I had to walk a vehicle assembly line back in 2014 it hit me that making a vehicle is significantly harder than anyone realizes.

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@Mike_M_Klotz Oh Jesus dude

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@IAmSuburban I have way more insight into this than I care to admit

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@Michael_L_Rauch @IAmSuburban It’s not even the youth. A large percentage of older generations just call triple A.

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@IAmSuburban The packaging on the Buzz is phenomenal. The price is so phenomenally bad but it’s really the only attractive family EV on the market to me atm

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

The Slate conversation is just demonstrating the same thing the Alibaba wheel conversation demonstrated about consumers

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@EricMTerrill1 @Ryan_Zarzaur That was definitely a loss lead. Thing was 20k for like 1-2 model years during ramp right after the Hyundai Santa Cruz launched then jumped pretty fast once capacity was actually up

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@EricMTerrill1 @Ryan_Zarzaur That’s horrendous. Used to be the other way around

[MikeGroppX @MikeGroppX]

@EricMTerrill1 @Ryan_Zarzaur Wait the ecoboost is the cheaper one now?
