  1. regardless of the number of year it's been out... it could have been out 1 year and like the malibu needed a refresh right at launch. The ATS needs the refresh now. Period.
  2. Exactly, and worst case scenario they pull something off a local lot that is for sale and add it to the fleet. Also, I'm sure there is going to be some standard of scheduling turnaround time... it's not going to be nearly instant like Uber.
  3. The concept of load planning remains the same. Think of each model offered as a "car class" in the system and you'll see why this isn't a problem.
  4. There is tech out there called load planning that addresses this issue. Airlines, railroads, and rental car agencies use it. It's designed specifically so Book doesn't have to have 200 of each vehicle. Eventually the system gets smart enough to know which vehicles are needed when and where and at what margin of error to keep up with the unexpected. And 200 people signing up is pulling in $3.6 million a year, GM still owns the cars, and can sell them as certified preowned at a premium when they're done. Seems like sound math to me.
  5. Yes! There are religious extremist in nearly every religion. ISIS is to Islam what the KKK or Westboro Baptist or the Army of God are to Christianity and the JDL is to Judaism. There are 1.6 billion muslims in the world. The vast majority of them are peaceful. And a Star Wars fan just shot up Fort Lauderdale Airport today. Don't condemn an entire religion based on the actions of a few.
  6. Favorite - Cadillac - Escalade ESV Platinum and CT6 Platinum 3.0TT Least favorite - Toyota - Land Cruiser and 86.
  7. Most of those people killed were also Muslim!
  8. We've made far too many "oops" with our drone strikes to continue the current policy. We've hit weddings, funerals, hospitals, schools, shopping markets, and just basically blown everyone up. Israel has bulldozed over 60,000 homes. And yes, bulldozing the home of the family of someone convicted of a crime is terrorism. We're not bulldozing Dylann Roof's family's house just because he shot up a congregation.
  9. And how many drone strikes did we launch today? How many Muslim homes were bulldozed by Israeli tank-dozers today? I'm not defending muslim terrorists, but make sure you're not throwing stones in your glass house. Just because the terrorism we cause is built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc instead of Some Dude in a Basement doesn't make us any less guilty.
  10. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/18/us/politics/hate-crimes-american-muslims-rise.html?_r=0 The trend has alarmed hate crime scholars and law-enforcement officials, who have documented hundreds of attacks — including arsons at mosques, assaults, shootings and threats of violence — since the beginning of 2015. The latest major episode of anti-Muslim violence came last weekend, when an arsonist on a motorcycle started a fire that engulfed the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, Fla. “I hate ISLAM!” a former Marine named Ted Hakey Jr. wrote to a friend on Facebook after last November’s terrorist attacks in Paris. Hours later, in a drunken rampage, he fired a high-powered rifle four times into the mosque next door to his Connecticut home. In Minneapolis, a man shouting obscenities about Islam shot two Muslim men in traditional religious garb in June, the authorities said. Last month, an imam in Queens and his assistant were shot and killed execution-style on the sidewalk. The police here in Washington released a videotape in May of a woman who reportedly poured liquid on a Muslim woman after berating Islam and declaring that she was going to vote for Mr. Trump so that he could “send you all back where you came from.” So yeah... I would assume you wouldn't want to be lumped in with these people.... don't go around "telling the truth" about 1.6 billion people, who if they wanted you dead, you'd be dead already.
