IS DANNY THOMPSON RICH ? IN MY MIND A RICH GUY IS ABLE TO BUILD RACE CARS WITHOUT BORROWING CASH,  MAYBE BUILDING CARS THRU SPONSORS, THRU HIS BUSINESS AS A WRITE OFF. MAYBE DANNY THOMPSON WASNT TOO SHREWD A BUSINESSMAN BUT HE SURE ENOUGH WAS A DEVOTED SON.

It tickled me, and remember I said it was a little joke.  Still, I don’t know if anyone else will find it funny.

“Guy on the internet spends afternoon making article about him even though he’s done nothing of note and now looks like a tool” seems more fitting.

You seem like an asshole.

I dont think the upsetting point is that a guy had to repay his debt. I think it is that he wasn't able to fetch a price that was higher. In the world of rich car collectors this real price of history was under appreciated.  

People like you irritate me. You know it people make dumb decisions when they are young, then pay for it? The guy spent his life chasing a dream and once it was complete he had to give it all away, realizing that he is 71 and just wasted that much of his life and then had to sell it.

Okay, with “Rich guy spends life pursuing useless Guinness record and now pays for it” would’ve been an just as fitting a headline.” you are just being petty. If you have no respect for what this dude achieved then you really shouldn’t be on an auto enthusiast’s site. This isn’t some multi-millionaire CEO or Saudi…

I feel like you’re more pissed about the content of this article than the author is.

Bradley, I dig the enthusiasm, but regardless of the car in question, when it comes to Bonneville, you don’t simply go rip a new record.

Even Elon Musk said he thought Tesla had a ten percent chance of success.

Any company has a low chance of success. That's just the nature of business. Unless you produce something completely necessary and irreplaceable,  there's always the chance of the market rejecting your product or someone else doing it cheaper and/or better. 

When did we stop calling dc to dc converters transformers?

But that’s partially because Porsche is not willing to make the trade-off between range and reliability that Tesla is, as contributor Mack Hogan has explained.

No it isn’t. Socialism tends to have those things. But Socialism is specifically predicated on communal or national ownership of some or all industries/ sectors.

This. Millenials will be starting wars and destroying the world in a few years, you can count on it.

It must be comforting to have a group of bad people to blame every problem on. My Dad spent a few years in Europe when Germany found a scapegoat group to blame for their problems.

You’re literally doing the thing the video is talking about. One study from one person using some numbers.

Change a limit by 10mph and the actual travel speeds might increase 1-2mph...it’s been shown through dozens and dozens of studies that people travel at a speed that feels safe to drive which is why setting the limit at the 85th percentile makes sense, it’s the generally safe speed and not at some arbitrary limit. But…

except no one needed to be defended, they had him already restrained, she started hitting him out of nowhere, that is called assault and I am sure the judge will see it the same way.

There is never a good reason to assault anyone except for self defense, I hope she is arrested.
