    Alfa Romeo just does not make sense, how does spending billions that were STOLEN from Jeep, RAM, Dodge, Chrysler well spent when they only sold 376 for the year and a total of 37 for the month of August?

    Stolen ? Nah... No more then Saturn stole money from Chevrolet, even looking at how they got Chrysler-Jeep. It's their money. But highly dubious business decisions in all cases.FCA is full of hot air and going nowhere. Spectacular Hellcats, prestigious brands, great numbers (hum...) but beside a few Fiat models in Europe and Jeep in NA, any attractive and efficient "bread and butter" and "day to day commuting" models? I mean Honda isn't all NSX nor Civic Si, Chevrolet all Corvette, Ford all GT or Toyota all Lexus LC... They also have something to offer once they get you to a dealer. An old 300 ? A Dart or 200 ? Oups ! Even the boss said they weren't that great...

    • I really like this mission style table, I may try to build it later this year.
    • Having been to Mexico, I can say that Mexican food in Mexico is better than almost any Mexican food you will eat in the USA. Good. I love this, can't happen to more deserving folks.  Time for Tesla to drive off into the history books and rest in peace with Tucker, Saturn, Studebaker, and Whippet. Will be interesting to see which direction you go next. I always loved that building. My wife worked for a few summers in Philly when we were dating...was always happy to visit Philadelphia for a number of reasons. It is gorgeous
    • I see tons of BYD and Kia electrics in Mexico, but very few Teslas....proof that folks south of the border have more sense. Love the KIA DESIGN LANGUAGE.
