I don’t know, here we are 20 years later, and I definitely remembered Affleck’s scene. I just remember it being a big swing and a big, hysterically bad miss on his part. I’ve worked in trading for 25 years now, and that type of guy who thinks he’s a big swinging dick is definitely everywhere, but they all come off as…

Sounds like a perfect candidate for an LS swap. 

“He died flying his Porsche” is a fantastic conversation starter; NP for immortality.

My brother-in-law loves all things F&F. He’s got the movie poster for whatever one has the Datsun 510 framed on his living room wall. There are more than one photo of Paul Walker framed in various places in the house. One of his most prized possessions is the scale licensed model of Brian’s Supra Turbo from F&F I…

Seems more Taco than Tundra, unless the lady in the last image is 8’ tall?

2 Fast 2 Furious. This movie is like the F&F franchise equivalent of Attack of the Clones, not just in that it’s objectively the worst movie in the franchise, but that it’s just a supremely corny, hour and a half long, extremely meme-able caricature of early-2000s car culture. Take everything ridiculous about the…

I think this is a little bit of a logical fallacy. All the things you listed are forms of entertainment, but motorsport is a real-life, in the moment affair, whereas the other two things you mentioned often take place in a fictional universe

Speak for yourself, all I’ve ever wanted was a super pointy room to look at screens in. What could be safer?

Models mentioned in this article: QX60, Q50, QX50, Q60, QX80, QX55

You can pick up a 2020 QX60 with under 5k miles from Hertz for under $30k. It’s a fiercely mediocre car, but that deal is hard to beat.

Yeah I-70 is not bad, it’s great compared to going east of Denver for sure, but those highways have some amazong scenery and are also amazing to drive. I did Torrey to Boulder Utah which is a great twisty road up and over a mountain in my 18 Golf R and traffic that day was almost non existent and it was just about the…

Like I said, fuck the United States broadband industry.

They neglect it because it’s a low travel interstate.  Most traffic follows I-70 or I-25.  Add to that, their choice to use concrete instead of asphalt for the surface.  It should be asphalt for the level of traffic it supports, and the stair stepping from freeze/thaw cycles would not be a thing.

This is why Larry Ellison has a $10 billion line of credit.

I would include the caveat it’s ok to not turn a profit at first if the company at least starts trending towards profitability (this is why comparing Amazon to Tesla is not a fruitful exercise).

Nope, car dealers LOVE used cars because they make money taking them in (not giving you full value) and when they sell them. They send them to auction when it’s too old or too little value to have on the lot.

Caravana and Carmax are growing for one reason. Used car dealers suck. They are dishonest, high pressure, pains in the ass to deal with and everyone is sick of it. I know I can probably get the car cheaper somewhere else, but I don’t care. I want to go buy the car and not feel like I need to take a bath in Clorox…

Neutral - Carvana isn’t a manufacturer selling new cars, Tesla is.
Big difference in new car dealership franchise laws/requirements and used car re-sellers.

I can’t believe we are living in a timeline where a Sorento looks better than the M3. 

Between these top-of-the-line Kias/Hyundais and the Genesis models, they’re attempting to pull an “LS400", as Toyota did with Lexus.
