Thu 14:08:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] wow, that's a brand i have not heard of in a LONG time... daewoo
Thu 14:08:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] like "aiwa
Thu 14:08:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] remember "aiwa"?
Thu 14:08:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yes
Thu 14:08:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ aiwa is still around, i think, but probably has nothing to do with what it used to be
Thu 14:08:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they dion't say how much the cars cost
Thu 14:08:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they hide it
Thu 14:08:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] to sell loans
Thu 14:09:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] how ridiculous!
Thu 14:09:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] is it normal for car sellers to hide all the prices?
Thu 14:09:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] i cannot unfold any
Thu 14:09:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] or see specs
Thu 14:10:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] what a useless site
Thu 14:10:36 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] just JS animationds
Thu 14:10:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] *animation
Thu 14:10:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and no actual relevant info
Thu 14:10:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ might depend on the seller
Thu 14:11:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also, you might want to check the prices at the dealer's site
Thu 14:11:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and even then, at least here the custom is to have some sort of haggling happen at most of them
Thu 14:11:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ suzuki instead just has a "discounted price" that always applies
Thu 14:11:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and they list that next to the "list price"
Thu 14:12:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] i found a version with prices now
Thu 14:12:58 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's absurd for a piece of tin with chassis
Thu 14:13:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] 20 years ago they cost less than half and lasted 20 years
Thu 14:13:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, in europe it also has lots of alleged safety gear
Thu 14:13:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and lots of computers
Thu 14:13:20 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] now the panels are like some "ap"
Thu 14:13:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "app"
Thu 14:13:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] no way they will issue patches till 2045
Thu 14:13:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ oh, and lots of extra complexity aimed at reducing emissions
Thu 14:13:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] (if humans are not extinct by then)
Thu 14:13:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ with questionable efficacy
Thu 14:13:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (especially if you factor in all the part replacements it makes necessary)
Thu 14:14:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] lots of plasticware in the car
Thu 14:14:21 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] not metal
Thu 14:14:24 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it is well known that models aimed at places like india from the same brands are much cheaper
Thu 14:14:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] the sun will ruin the colour and form within years
Thu 14:14:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ though they're probably also less safe in a crash
Thu 14:14:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they dissolve
Thu 14:15:21 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they put volume control on the wheel
Thu 14:15:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] who needs critical functions anyway
Thu 14:15:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] aim for honk, lower volume instead
Thu 14:16:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and you listen to music, so you cannot hear the surrounds, like other cars honking
Thu 14:16:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] must be veryu safe
Thu 14:16:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] maybe add QWERTY keyboard to the wheel
Thu 14:16:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so you can sms while you drive
Thu 14:16:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] or snapchat on the go
Thu 14:16:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] till you go on a sidewalk
Thu 14:17:07 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] the handbrake looks like plastic
Thu 14:17:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] maybe it's "Smart" and "power"
Thu 14:17:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] not nechanical
Thu 14:17:35 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so you need to power on the car to put on the handbrake
Thu 14:17:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] (not dangerous at all!)
Thu 14:18:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "smart springs"?
Thu 14:18:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "sorry, battery low"
Thu 14:18:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] no power = no clock
Thu 14:18:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's rendering of analogue clock
Thu 14:19:07 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] instead of a normal clock that works also when it's turned on
Thu 14:19:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] (or off)
Thu 14:20:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] no power = cannot roll up/down windows... no "rolling" per se
Thu 14:20:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] i hope the handles are mechanical
Thu 14:20:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so it's not a case of, no power = cannot enter/exit the car
Thu 14:22:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] glove compartment mechanical
Thu 14:22:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so no need for "app" to open it

Thu 14:27:44 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i never had that issue
Thu 14:28:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 03 161612 < schestowitz[TR2]> maybe add QWERTY keyboard to the wheel
Thu 14:28:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ would be nice
Thu 14:28:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it would make satnav more comfy
Thu 14:28:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ instead of leaning to the center and typing on the screen, i could just type on the steering wheel
Thu 14:28:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] maybe add doom

Thu 21:44:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're just like your neighbors in Orbanistan.
Thu 21:45:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Trump's goal is that even if he does have to leave in 4 years, he'll have done so much damage that the IRS will be gone and the next president can't move us away from tariffs and back to a progressive income tax.
Thu 21:47:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If the IRS still is around in 2027, the tax code will eventually have to adjust everything for all the inflation he's caused, so income taxes for some people will eventually fall. But we still have to deal with this mess on our own for at least two years or so.
Thu 22:09:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "The most malignant form of narcissism comes from people like my mother, who don't know anything and are constantly onto the next load of horseshit they heard on social media, and think that their ignorance is better than your facts.
