This is where I will post sporadic thoughts on #music and #cars.

@elonmusk Is this a “only Nixon could go to China” scenario?

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@LASHYBILLS @PicturesFoIder It’s been a Miami thing since at least the early 90's, especially Miami Beach. Allegedly started because of the prevalence of international tourists who did not tip.

@RollingStone @ibanezofficial Please put this 8 string bass into production. Thank you.

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@elonmusk Classy.

@StephenKing During the 1988 Writers’ strike, Letterman did more bad-on-purpose bits, stating “this is what you get without our writers.” That brought more attention to the strike than the news did. Also Real Time is 60% news-talk, and newsrooms are not striking.

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@elonmusk Eh, not really. We’re here to read text.

@notley @Tesla Texas law frowns on Tesla’s direct-to-consumer sales model. The state rebate program for electric cars still excludes Tesla models.

@DavidPSamson I always thought polo was horse hockey.

A real fan of Richard Belzer would question whether he actually passed. @MRbelzer

@Lapp Most legacy cable viewers remember when Max was short for Cinemax. #HBOMax hasn’t been around long enough to shake the tarnish of HBO’s lower-rent cousin.

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@elonmusk @BillyM2k The quiet majority have more important things to do with their time.

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@elonmusk Please. A margin is not a “secret tax.” The fact that retailers mark up the wholesale price of a product is the way business works. It’s not some dark conspiracy.

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@CNETCars @VW should bring the short wheelbase version to the USA. It could be marketed as the higher-range version or as a crossover alternative (especially for the surfer/beach crowd). 3rd row and extra length is a waste of weight and energy for those who just want it because it’s cool.

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@ryantomorrow I mean, duh! I hope this is a tease for something that’s already in the pipeline. Otherwise VW’s ID Buzz will beat Ford to the intersection of surfers/beach families and EV pioneers.

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@robertsassade @m_millsey Yes. Coachella.

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@CNET Nice logo. Why did you change your name to ONET?

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@Commanders All the time, research, surveys, outreach, and attorney hand-wringing and the result is a well-seasoned turd. A freshman marketing student knows a team brand should be one or two syllables unless it conveys an instant special image. There is no instant image of a “Commander.”

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@SecretaryPete Please amend Section 108 sooner than the 2 years allowed in the #InfrastructureBill. The rest of the world has allowed adaptive headlight safety technology for years. It’s overdue for US driver safety and US manufacturer innovation. https://t.co/Kh05OMHRYv

[Archie Stoltz @ArchieStoltz]

@roadshow This is far overdue. Cheers to whoever thought to put it in the bill and put this issue on a faster track.

@DougDeMuro I sometimes wonder if Cadillac made this car ugly on purpose so they can say, “We tried, but nobody wants sedans. Now we'll only build SUV's.”
