QOTD: Are You Resolved?

You’ve heard a lot in the media about how 2016 has been Literally Hitler Terrible. Princess Leia died. Donald Trump was elected. The McRib only returned in selected markets.

I can’t sympathize with those people. 2016 worked out fine for me, and it was the first year since 2012 that I wasn’t hospitalized for some injury. That doesn’t mean that I’m not resolved to make 2017 even better. Have you made your resolutions yet? If not, I have a few suggestions:

  • Add Lightness ...and I thought the Trump Towers were excessively pretentious.
  • Daniel Tons of discounts out there on the eGMP's, just pick your style: Ionic 5/6, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60. Personally, I got $20k off on a $60k MSRP GT-Line EV6 (only $7500 of that was a "rebate" from the state, the rest was Kia and dealer discounts). They are not only the same platform, but nearly identical mechanically other than slightly adjusted wheelbases. Find this one ugly?

  • MaintenanceCosts The Supercharger network is something with much more growth potential than their actual car building operations, which has been marvelously run to this point and has a years-long head start on all its competitors, and Elon lays the whole team off?I don't know if it's distraction or the drugs, but he is not making good decisions and should not be CEO anymore.
  • Dirk Wiggler I drive down the Palisades and near the George Washington Bridge I see FIAT housing complex (apartments, same font as the auto company). Seems like they tout energy/electric efficiency. I always wonder, 'what's that...is it really the same FIAT?'
