My response is… a story. When I was an early teen I had a musician uncle. He mostly played folk and ballads on the banjo. In the ‘60’s when Blue Grass was all the rage I asked; Uncle Freddie, can you play Blue Grass? His response—“I’d like to be able to play Blue Grass, and then not.”

Given the history of such great designs from Ferrari, not sure how this one made it past the sketch pad.

Ferrari outsourced both exterior and interior design.

Hopefully there is positive side to this and that is bringing public awareness about state franchise laws. When you hear dealerships saying that they provide value to their customers, then I cringe. I'm guessing that the experience most folks have with dealerships is not positive. If it were, then the dealerships would have nothing to worry about and we wouldn't need franchise laws. This lack of Freedom of Choice just seems contrary to our nation's so called free enterprise by having government regulation\intervention.

The dealerships could change their practices but we all know they won’t.

Exactly! What is worse is that in a way the dealerships have leverage with the media. Can you imagine if newspapers and local TV challenged the franchise laws? Dealerships would pull their ads immediately. And there are a tremendous number of dealership advertisements as I am sure we all know.

Exactly!

I always love how after you buy a car they then tell you oh this thing I told you was a great choice, well it’s gonna fall apart so buy this crazy warranty, which is exactly how we ended up with the lifetime warranty on the Jeep. Salesman telling us oh you know Wranglers are terrible mechanically and require lots of repairs. By then you are so far in and paperwork is being signed it’s too late to back out. We had been at the dealership all day at that point. All day! Now am I glad I have the warranty? Yes. But did it leave a bad taste in my mouth even 13 years later? Yes.

This is exactly why I don’t want to buy a car off a lot. The price is never the price.

The House wants EV owners paying $130 a year to the feds, and after running it against what gas drivers actually put into the Highway Trust Fund, the number is more defensible than the reaction. The real problem isn't the size of the fee, it's that they made it flat, so the person babying their...
