  • Owners are going to cash out before the liability of player injuries comes due. That is what I see here.

    This may - and big guess here - may be good for the league. Ownership that would previously passed down through inheritance can now be sold off to structured businesses.

    Also, if a toxic owner is booted out of the league the path to financial stewardship is now a lot more open, rather than what I’d assume to be one of the most gated of circles it would take to be an owner currently.





  • SUV do they break or make on the truck version?

    Losses due to reinvestment in plant tooling, is that really a P&L loss?

    Not in article…

    2 lower cost models on the way.

    Good acceptance from current customers.

    The Amazon delivery fleet units as a common service network back bone. Which I think become open for use beyond Amazon soon and adds another large sales and service revenue stream.

    I think they are better off than this seems.

    As a potential customer when the smaller models come out, he battery DRM is still what had me concerned with them. Along with the VW eventual meddling.









  • BMW has had lane assist (I believe standard) for a few years now. As others above have said, it gives resistance and visible feedback with varying degrees of force if you try to change lanes without a blinker. Many others makes now do as well.

    Essentially, in a 2018 or newer model BMW it is a pain in the ass to change lanes - even on an empty road - if you don’t use a blinker. And it probably snitches on you to your insurance company if you frequently make the light come on.

    As for the lowered 2011 3 series with the loud exhaust and not quite right looking M badges passing you in a cloud of strawberry mountain dew flavored vapor, well… yeah what do you expect. The forest of little tree air fresheners makes it hard to see through the rear view anyway.






  • He owed an Austin Martin dealership. The car is a rare model worth far more than its sticker.

    From what I understand about the new car business, I’d almost guarantee this car was floorplanned / purchased by the dealership itself (which he owned) and which then sold it for the final and ludacris sum listed.

    I don’t doubt he is an out of touch candidate, with zero connection to his constituency and probably terrible ideas on governance, but this storey itself is slightly less remarkable than the headline suggests.
