Are you retarded? Why would I drive an E55 AMG to Vegas when I could just rent a nice car instead and not have the beast suck down all my gas? $75/day pff you must be retarded. Costs like half that for a decent car with way better mileage.

obv my car CAN get to Vegas, but I can also just spend $100 and have a decent rental for the weekend.


At least two of those are for sure human error, I can remember the specific news story. One is in dispute I guess because the wife claims she definitely didn't push the wrong pedal and the autopilot definitely just came on and crashed her car even though none of the sensor/computer data corroborates that (ie she hit the wrong pedal and is trying to sue Tesla about it).

Gas mileage is pretty important to me which is why I both own a european sports sedan and make sure to only drive it in the city traffic to work and not out on the highway - a stupid person

Who told you they don't have AC? Ofc they have AC. If they didn't have AC the battery would overheat.


you're right there's 0 reason anyone would ever own more than 1 car, bc that 1 car should be able to fill every single vehicular need you may ever have.

idiot

Im rich enough to afford "occaisonal" cars but I rent lovely econo boxes for my weekends away to save miniscule amounts on gas money

Hell yeah dude you ballin, when the girls ask you for a ride in the merc do you ask them not to use the heated seats because it fucks up your mileage calculations

lol you're so dumb. why don't you at least take 2 mins to google what a decent car for a weekend costs because you are just double downing on sounding like a dumbass who hasn't ever rented one.

A compact car here costs fifty a day, minimum and thats assuming you dont value the time spent collecting and dropping off the loving thing
