Welcome to The Morning Sh*t! Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you.
1 st Wipe : In news that’s sure to surprise exactly nobody, Mercedes is now in the hot seat over multiple Diesel emissions defeat codes. Internal company emails included engineers asking about legality of the code, but engineers haven’t been important to Mercedes for over 20 years.
2 nd Wipe : The UAW-FCA scandal continues, with many seeing it as an opportunity to clean house within the UAW and get back to its core values: Paying workers three times the prevailing local wage to slowly inflate housing prices over multiple generations while building mediocre cars for ignorant flag wavers.
3 rd Wipe : GM considering offering a debt-equity swap to South Korea in exchange for the Korean government providing tax incentives to help keep their domestic plants open. Your Econ 101 professor was wrong all along – government does have a place in international trade.
4 th Wipe : Massive potential tariffs on imported steel could spike the price of cars, in turn hurting the domestic steel industry as overall demand cools. Your Econ 101 professor was right all along — but voters hain’t got time to listen to that kind of book learning when we have an America that needs to be made great again.
5 th Wipe : Hyundai to begin selling hydrogen fuel cell crossover in South Korea this month, which also includes a time travel feature that allows it to compete with Toyota from 10 years ago.
Flush : Seinfeld’s “Pothole” episode first aired today in 1997. Comfort lanes? Holy cow!

4th wipe, in all seriousness this would have a huge impact on the US heavy construction industry. Most of the hot rolled coil and sheet steel comes from overseas. This could literally halt thousands of projects.

Not only that, the only cars it would drive prices of are the cheaper cars everyone likes to buy in America like the Accord and crossovers. All other cars are made in Mexico or Europe so they may not be affected by this tariff.
