So....you’re saying we should check with Roy Moore?

My comment was not about rich people’s enthusiasm for cars that hold their value, but a snarky remark that many luxury cars, particularly Jaguars but also Aston Martins, Maseratis and a few others, suffer massive depreciation in their first few years anyway.

But, since you brought it up, no this will not motivate the…

Meh. It just quickens that Jaguar’s absolutely guaranteed depreciation. Speeds up the process by about six months or so. It’s like getting the future...today.

It was a short announcement.

Sometimes? Sometimes?

Well, he did have two X chromosomes when he was conceived...

Hoo-rah!

Dad of a badass seven-year-old girl chiming in to affirm this 100%.

My 12-year-old son had a loose tooth that took him weeks to come out. He was 100% a wimp about it. It was agonizing for me just to hear him whine.

The badass seven-year-old, one night after getting in bed, climbed out, walked in front of said…

NAFTA was pretty heavily hashed out in public. There weren’t too many surprises in it, despite some pretty nitty-gritty details involving lots of different industries specified in the soup.

Not saying it wasn’t shoved down our throats, but it wasn’t negotiated, approved and then revealed.

The National Guard sponsored Dale, Jr.’s #88 car for umpteen years as the primary patron. Their assessment of the uptick in recruitment based on having their 1-800-Go-Guard.com plastered all over the car, team and related whatnot? Zero. As in, absolutely not a single dude (or dudette) signed up for the Guard because…

It wasn’t the battery.

I’m a little bit more aware of what captive insurance (and reinsurance) entities do, and they exist solely to milk more money for the holding organization. The British overseas territories (Bermuda (“the Switzerland of the Atlantic Ocean”), Cayman Islands, BVI) and their ex-territories (Bahamas, Barbados, etc.) have…

Your “observations” made it sound like they were first-hand (first-mouth?) experiential in nature.

And, hey, I dig the Waffle House for breakfast, ya know, eggs, bacon, sausage and waffles!

REVERSE: Jalops, young and old alike, seek out and find Fog of War, the Errol Morris documentary and extensive interview with Robert McNamara. Fascinating stuff about a guy who probably would be considered a war criminal were he not bathed in the red, white and blue.

It’s not on Netflix (DVD only), but you really…

Who goes to a place with “waffle” in the name for a steak? Are you out of your mind?* That’s like going to Morton’s for the pancakes.

* You get a pass since (I hope) it was 3:00 am, you wanted a steak and the Woeful House was the only place open serving such an item on the menu.

I was going to say this, because they need to distinguish their models more than before in terms of features, particularly as exclusivity goes away.

Have you ever tried a BMW with the ceramic controls option? Lordy, that shit is nice, nice, nice to the touch. I think it’s an $800 option these days on the 7 Series.…

RE: Reverse: Not a particularly big Mansell fan here (see handle above), but Massa and Mansell are NOTHING alike. Nothing.

Baseball’s pretty much dead to me (Thanks, Ryan Braun, for lying through your teeth and getting a piss collector fired while you collect your nine-figure paycheck! You finally put the nail in this lifelong baseball fan’s coffin.), but Roy Halladay was a goddamned gamer who always stepped up.

This world of ours is…

Hmmmm...What did he win when he was born?

Let’s see...the money and insane connections a world champion father brings you? Driving tips and lessons from dad at a young age? Opportunities simply not there for other kids whose father did not win a world championship or manage other world championship drivers’ careers?…

The British are such hypocrites. The separate banking laws of the Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Caymans, Bermuda and British Virgin Islands were set up for this very reason.

It’s probably legal, but it’s obviously bullshit.

Well, there was this guy named Valentino Rossi ...http://www.visordown.com/news/general/rossi-shells-out-%E2%82%AC35m-to-settle-tax-bill and let’s not forget Stefi Graf’s father basically fell on his sword and went to jail for her...http://www.nytimes.com/1997/01/25/sports/peter-graf-is-sentenced-to-prison-in-tax-case.…
