    Funny enough I am at Hilton Head for a work conference and the average cost to repair went from $3,125 in 2019 to $4,240 in 2022 and the rental average went from 13.5 days to 18.5 days. Edit to say this is from a body shop chain that owns 213 shops across the US.

    Lobbyists are doing God’s work to keep this all legal it appears.

    A lot of it. Also, manufacturers keep putting more cameras, radars and sensors on vehicles and crash frequency hasn’t really changed and crash severity has skyrocketed. The average cost of repair used to be around $2,600 4 years ago and it is now $4,000. Manufacturers are also making a lot of shit one time use thus contributing to high repair costs.

    A lot of parts come from China so it wasn’t just here.

    This is more supply chain and price gouging imo. Also, cars are more complex to repair now and I think Insurance companies haven’t been proactive with rates to combat it until now.

    I work for a carrier in Tennessee and we lost $44 million in just auto in Tennessee. The problem with that is you have to raise rates strategically or you lose too much business so we took about 3% less increase than every other carrier. I was told by someone reliable that every carrier in our state lost money last year in auto and it makes sense. Parts are increasing by the second when vendors find out there is a shortage and they mark up the cost even more because they can. I think we are on track to maybe break even at this point.

    We need more good guys with leaf blowers to stop this sort of thing.

    The brand loyalty is fading because he cannot shut his mouth trying to impress people that would never buy a Tesla.

    Besides that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

    I don’t know if BJJ is good for 5 year olds because I am beating the shit out of them at my BJJ studio and we all started at the same time.

    We need more people with rocks to stop the bad guys.

    Now imagine someone that bought that car 4 years ago. I’ve never witnessed anything like this.

    So something else no one is thinking of that is small for now but large eventually… I work for a major insurance carrier and we are constantly trying to find repair facilities that will repair Tesla’s ( it’s a large part of my job right now behind the scenes). Tesla requires you to be a certified shop to get structural parts ( not uncommon) and it wasn’t a huge deal until around February. I’ve had a lot of luck negotiating labor rates in the past with Tesla’s and forming partnerships. I have 2 body shops now that are starting to realize that Tesla’s are losing market share and they are concerned with a 6 figure investment to be Tesla certified when their owner won’t stop saying stupid shit. I have made my feelings known that I am not a fan but I can still respect something but Tesla’s quality is dog shit and they all agree. He needs to be extremely careful about another price cut as he has already damaged his core market.

    I got my little ass blistered today in the 15k. Normally I am Top 3 in age group but today I was 13th overall and 7th in age group (40-44). Very humbling and it’s time to get back in the pain cave.

    The 70.3 is less than 6 weeks away and it's amazing how much more prepared I am this year compared to last. I am one of those people that have to do something first and learn the hard way for the next time. I've done several 50 mile rides this time and ran after and have been able to hold a 7:00 mile after the bike ride so I feel like a sub 5:30 is very possible this year. Saturday, I have a 15k race that is very hilly but should be able to hold a 6:42 pace the whole time and then Sunday will do a 60 mile ride and run 4 miles after. I've improved on swimming but still hate it. Thank God for a wetsuit legal race.

    I guess it shouldn’t shock me that a lot of cops like Trump even thought he had their “ brothers “ assaulted on January 6. The Thin Blue Line is very thin.

    They’ve already moved on to how unfair this is. When he made fun of John McCain and didn’t catch any shit for it I knew there isn’t anything he can do that they won’t justify. I am sure he will grift the hell out of them with this.

    I think this is a mistake. It’s just going to make his idiot supporters like him more.

    I actually have a theory that Lee Greenwood is behind the September 11 terror attacks. He was on tv selling leather jackets for a few years and then 2 days after the attacks he is singing in the World Series. He had a motive.

    It was a few weeks ago but can someone send the link again talking about how Tesla’s are falling behind now and how the self driving shit will never work the way they do it. I am arguing with a fanboi.

    I really want to drop $70,000 on a car with this leadership.
  24. Clintonaldo
    and then you piss off the public when they read this online.

    Sadly you are correct. It’s also hilarious to make fun of POW’s.
