I seem to remember MOG as a music service in the mid 2000s. Puts a new spin on them to see this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOG_(online_music)

LT5 Mercury Marine goodness.

This was Australia's most powerful car at that time, had less power, more weight and worse aero but it was a polished turd, wasn't designed to be a fast good handling car from the get go.

So my buddies 3 year Plaid lease is up. His lease balance is $86k. A new Plaid today is $82k.

Sometimes a lease isn't a bad idea. He said he's never done a track day, but he can do 0-60 in his driveway, so there is that. He has a nice list of options he's considering for the replacement.

Tesla has done some huge mark downs here too. The general fluctuations in the price of EVs has caused more people to lease.

This thing is so bad ass.

My wife took her Forester into Subaru for an oil change last week. She drove it in, parked it, went to the lobby. 5 minutes later the technician came and found her. "Hey, did you know your car won't start? Does it have problems starting often?"

My wife said, "did you try pushing the clutch in first?"

It's a feature, not a bug!

A Tesla in full self-driving mode slammed into a California Highway Patrol cruiser that was already responding to a fatal crash last week. The electric car was running Tesla’s advanced driver assist feature Full Self-Driving when it smashed into the cop car, forcing officers on the scene to jump out of the way of the car as it careered off course.

He just got a $44.9B pay package.

Not quite. Shareholders voted for it. Still will go through courts, again.

And when you have to fix the engine, it will also cost as much as a Chevy Malibu.
