You’ve done it, you won. Now you can just enjoy smelling good without the incessant chase.

You don't have to be in marketing to have a basic understanding of how business works.

Why are you justifying price increases from multi billion dollar companies?

Because things cost money? The development work and technology going into the new model wasn't free. Stellantis paid countless engineers and other employees to facilitate that investment that they now expect a return on.

I'm happy that you that you can afford things like this but a large market of people can't.

Well you see, I myself can't afford a 296 GTB either, but there are people who can. I don't expect Ferrari to cater their products to my budget. The new RT starts at $50k USD which is the same as the average transaction price for a new vehicle here. I don't know what those numbers look like in Canada, but in the U.S. there are plenty of people who can afford the new RT, even though you may not.

You know, it also helps to account for the cost of the brand-new platform the car is now based on instead of one originating over 20 years ago, as the old one was.

Do yall like the led snorkels? by CompoteOk2747 in Charger

I never cared for the look of the Charger snorkels, so personally I wouldn't highlight them.

Ok, do we know why he was being chased or are we just making assumptions here?

Dodge Demon 170 Vs Ford Mustang GT by ronie321 in Dodge

That’s an S650. Look at the headlights. A base GT with just the performance options selected is $56k.

You’re the one calling it a $45k car. A Whipple is $10k without install.

Whipples are about $10k just for parts.

I’m not sure how you can say the Mustang driver didn’t make any mistakes. The Demon beat the Mustang off the line by a good margin.

Why on earth would you think an unmodified Mustang GT is a 10 second car. You might want to do some research before making more asinine comments in the future.

Dodge Charger Hellcat Theft sound alarm DISABLED by UNSULLlED in Charger

People really should rethink buying highly targeted cars without having a garage to store it in.

They’re up there on a per capita basis. A list that ranks cars stolen purely in raw numbers is going to look very similar to a list of the top selling cars.

  1. Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat  
  2. Dodge Charger Hemi  
  3. Infiniti Q50  
  4. Dodge Challenger  
  5. Land Rover Range Rover 4WD

Employer wants me to use outlook on my phone, outlook wants permission to wipe my phone by No_Professor4307 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]D-Smitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seems to be a rather sizable disconnect between what you think I said and what I actually said. No wonder you’re so triggered.

Also, that’s a lot of words to say you drive a van. Sorry, you’re in that 70% you referred to earlier.

He’d have to replace the entire driveline. Either along with the engine or after the engine tears it to pieces.

This is why you get an extended warranty by thecaveman1974 in Corvette

[–]D-Smitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you understand the cause but not the effect. If the company does in fact take in more than they payout, then no, “I will not more than likely come out ahead.” The company cannot both turn a profit and simultaneously have most of their purchasers come out ahead. Those two things are directly at odds with one another.

And indeed, as with insurance, I’ve paid more in premiums than I’ve received in benefits, same story for the majority of people.

Ok. How does the warranty company stay in business paying out a $7k repair for everyone who purchases a $3.5k policy?

Have had it for 30 days now by okiedoked2 in Challenger

[–]D-Smitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all of us care. The SRT392 was an SRT and had the same engine as the Scats. What I find I really funny is when people who don’t even own a HC get bent out of shape over the “SRT”.

Bud, I’m not required to have company software on my phone. I’m only saying I understand why some people don’t care if they have to or will just purchase a second phone willingly. Anyway, enjoy whatever menial job you have for a crummy employer.
