Whatever. You can choose not to trust me, and that's fine, but the reality is you're way off base in your assumptions. You're one person out of hundreds of thousands who own a specific model, experiences will vary but the statistics are what they are.

You're literally talking out your a$$. The quality numbers are plane and simple the number of issues reported by the customer. That's it. There's no weighting and no bias. I see the data every year as part of my job. It's pretty obvious there's no fudging the data. Ford got hammered sometime back when they had a bunch of new vehicle launches. Jeep got their a$$ kicked with the new Grand Cherokee. Dodge and Ram end up being tops last year because they have some extremely old products that have had a decade to work out problems. Foreign companies routinely end up at the top and have been toping luxury segments too as if late. Not sure why you're so distrustful. If there were funny businesses you'd see people dropping out left and right as well as lawsuits.

The only bias would be customers having problems with their vehicles or not liking certain aspects of it. There is no weighting or tweaking, it's problems reported per thousand. The people are selected at random, it's a standardized survey form, and there needs to be at least (I think) 100 surveys return to evaluate the product. It's not some pay to play or pay to win scheme. The OEMs only pay to see the data, and if they win an award they pay to be able to "display" the award in their adds.

So, as a consumer who doesn't have access to the data I understand why you might be skeptical; but as someone who works in the industry and sees a detailed breakdown of the results each year it's not just some pay for play scheme. It's real data with legitimate customer complaints and problems. Everything from factory defects to designs that the customer doesn't like (inside and out). Almost every known OEM sold in the US participates. There is no favoritism as American OEMs are routinely blasted by customers when they're bad, and everyone uses the data ad benchmarking to show where they need to focus their efforts going forward.

The the Ospreys undergrounded again? Or is this old stock reels?

Even the worst manufacturers still build good cars on their assembly lines, they just build more turds per thousand than the other guys. JD Powers is the industry standard, so not really nonsense. Every OEM in the US referencs it for how they are performing and what needs to improve. To finish dead last is f#&%ing awful. Usually you find Jaguar and Range Rover towards the bottom and your Asian OEMs closer to the top for a reason.

Nah... Bench was always one of my worst lifts, and after years of a f#&%ed up neck and shoulders I've learned that form is way more important. But I'm also not a D1 athlete trying to get paid.

That's cheating! He's not even getting a full extension.

Dude was chucking it 50+ in high school and hitting guys in stride. All they got do is put one good move on and he'll get it there.

How did you even find that company?

ZIM is on a dead cat bounce bro!

Odd that they're the only source reporting the incident at this time... Also, I didn't even realize the US embassy in Bagdad was also attacked with a mortor strike last month.

This Houthi thing feels a bit 1984 to me. We're suddenly fighting this groups way over there somewhere across the sea, but we don't really know anything about them or why we hate them. We're just fighting them again because we're told they're bad now. I realize they are bad, have been attacking shipping, and have US/Israel destruction as their core tenants. It just struck a particular cord with me.

Yeah, why didn't we or don't we turn of the spigot from illegal drugs out of Latin America?

Because them stupid librards EVs are failing!!! The issue isn't EVs, it's that Hertz is still run by idiots and the majority of their EV fleet are Teslas. Tesla is also run by an idiot. Their cars are notoriously expensive to maintain and repair because papa Elon hasn't figured out how to make spair parts for service like a real OEM, and he will only let Tesla certified shops work on the vehicles. Also, Tesla quality is notoriously bad. They pulled out of the JD Powers survey a year or 2 ago because they were going to be dead last in initial quality. Hertz tried to corner a niche market for Tesla fanbois and it failed. It wasn't a smart business move to begin with, but it made for good publicity right out of bankruptcy with Tommy in the commercials. Bonus edit: I also forgot to mention that Tesla is, or is about to be, under investigation by NHTSA for failure of their front control arms and other suspension components. They issued recalls in China, but not the US, and the federal government wants to know why.

How is she not being kicked out of Congress and brought up on revenge porn charges? This is absurd!

If you really wanted to ding Biden on the energy sector then go after him for only allocating a measley $1.3B to upgrade infrastructure.

It doesn't. It's just bad optics.

One of these tweets is not like the other... This Simon guy doesn't seem too reliable just yet. I'm not sure how to work Twitter, but the first 3 or 4 posts I see in his feed are pretty hard right. The tweet with the Journal screen shot makes no mention of embezzlement. Also, looks the like claims of extra marital between these two is coming from team Trump, so let's see how that plays out.

Nazi, that's your problem reich there. I fuhrer you're not having enough fun.

I did Nazi you having nice feels for them.

They also beat up some people.

Hopefully ESPN doesn't give them their own network or anything.

Who's starting the Alabama sucks who can we steal thread?

Very new testament of you.
