    What ever happened to the old "leave it parked in a bad neighborhood" way of insurance fraud? Or is your car so shitty that even hoodlums don't want it?

    @narf: My car certainly is :( It got broken into a few months ago, they took 17 cents in pennies and nickels and left the stereo.

    @narf: Unfortunately with the immobilizers on most modern cars chances are it's just going to get vandalized, maybe have the stereo stolen and interior f*cked up, but not stolen outright... probably end up collecting tickets, getting towed and having to pay impound fees.


    If they were smart they wouldn't just torch the whole car, real thieves don't do that. They'd pull the interior and drivetrain, get a group together to fence the parts and then torch / roll the chassis off a cliff. Report it stolen, police find it gutted and dumped, looks like a pro job, they might have a flatbed (thus defeating the immobilizer)... certainly wasn't the owner. Meanwhile a whole bunch of friends are selling off one or two pieces each distributed across several cities / states.


    @Tyson: That's bad.

    On that note, I am buying ingredients tomorrow to make my first batch of homebrew beer, because it costs half as much as store-bought.

    Given how many of their vehicles are styled in a way that triggers even a heart surgeon's gag reflex, I'm surprised they've made it this long.

    What about help from Mercedes, didn´t they power Ssangyong? (did Mercedes put 2 "s" in the brand name?)

    @BЯдΖǐL-ЯЄРΘЯΤЄЯ - Spreading the Christmas Spirit: Yep, Mercedes helped them along for a while, mostly sold them engineering bits (stuff from the W124, power trains definitely not styling), but they sold, I'm pretty sure all, of their stake in them to SAIC. So now SAIC is in the shit.

    The Chairman W wasn't bad looking. I sort of hoped Chrysler would merge with them so they could combine their MB tech hand-me-downs. I bet we could all take over Ssangyong and run it as our own company. JMK, Jalopnik Motors of Korea.I wonder how all this affects the development of the Roewe "SUV".

    China should make it interesting: If company executives can sprint across the DMZ and make it safely to the North Korean border, they get the bailout. If not, well, that's for the TV audience to find out.
