“You see! The unarmed protestors are not afraid even with our battle-proven armored vehicles! How brazen! We need something more intimidating. Can we get some surplus M1A1 Main Battle tanks included as part of the next year’s budget, chief? I heard that tactic worked real well in China in the 80s LOL”

Oh yeah, that’s some “To Protect and Serve” shit right there

That’s where this comes in handy

Only these last few weeks?

I did get to drive one in 1979. Met their chief engineer and test driver at JFK while waiting for an Alitalia flight to Rome, with a stop in Milan. While waiting I chatted them up and they invited me to come to Modena for a tour. I got there late in the day and they made a reservation for me at the Hotel Fina, told me…

Just yesterday I watched a video of a group of peaceful protesters (yes, actually peaceful) crossing a crosswalk instead of rushing across the street all over the place. While the tail end of the group was still straggling behind, the light turned green. Some jackass in a truck, instead of waiting for the maybe thirty…

There’s a reason some have started calling them Blue ISIS.

“its noted that the US has the same protections as other countries where possible - except for the bumpers”

Ah, yes, because if there’s one thing we’ve all learned over the last few weeks, it’s that the cops can be trusted to do the right thing.

Ronspeak: “Like everybody I suppose, I seek happiness. It’s an uncomplicated objective. I don’t see happiness as laughing or clapping your hands. I see it as the opposite of unhappiness, the opposite of anger, of depression. And in reference to this particular situation, I would say that I have derived some measure of…

“It seems that, in actuality, the circumstances that I had previously predicted have indeed eventuated.”

Even before the pandemic, most McLarens were being offered for prices much lower than the list price. Now that situation is worse - just go online and see. McLarens are very nice and should sell but can’t at a price to be profitable enough. Aston Martin is choking and now McLaren is struggling.

3rd Gear: I am a bit surprised that Hertz and other big companies (hello airlines) are going bankrupt after 3-month loss. It shows really bad cash flow management. Even at 3-4% net after EBITDA, when you generating billions in revenues, they can’t last 3 months ?

Two years is pretty outstanding life for wiper blades. Most manufacturers admit that their blades are living on borrowed time after 6 months.

One thing I can’t seem to understand is how CEO’s are being fired because their plants have had to shut down or the workforce has had to be slashed or their stock price has dropped because the economy went into the tank and people couldn’t purchase much. It’s not their fault that covid became a thing. It’s not just in…

Yep,. 24k on a 650 hp rental sounds like 240k on a normal car to me.

I am completely floored!

British Leyland was just a little mixup. They promise (cross their hearts and hope to die)it will work this time around!

I think “stupid” should be replaced with “emotional.”

We should nationalize GM just so we can burn down the design studios and take a collective shit on the desk of who ever is in charge of interiors.
