I had a chance to buy a Stratos in decent shape back in the late 90's for $50k and passed on it. Of course, I also let myself get outbid at a car auction on a 246 GTS in fair condition at $42k around the same time. Instead, I bought a 1990 Lotus Esprit SE for $36k. I am terrible at picking automotive investments.

Here he is guys. Here's the expert. Listen to this guy, not those quacks at the totally uncredible institutions of MIT and Lockheed Martin. This guy has a "background in plasma physics" He's on the internet now to straighten things out for us.

You have the vague silhouette of a 60's stang?

I think it takes ~200 miles of riding to be truly comfortable, but just start small. I started riding 4 years ago, and I remember being stressed out most of the time and only going on short jaunts for the first few months. Then it all just starts feeling natural. Now I commute almost every day.

This is why we can't have nice things. No really, if there is any stat that epitomizes the incredible concentration of wealth at the top, this is it. Bugattis aren't cars that doctors, lawyers, or even the average CEO could ever afford. These are cars for Billionaire's sons.

You're right. The same with that skinny dude riding it, totally effete. This is what a man looks like:

We aren't discussing facts, we're discussing opinions. In other words:

We'll agree to disagree. While the nuances of the terms may seem blindingly obvious to you, trying to control the language of the debate will always be a harder sell to the public at large than simply advocating for the rights of "boys who feel more comfortable playing the social roles of a girl." or vice versa.

That's the crux of the challenge. You've just outlined a mental model that only those exposed to this movement would automatically agree with or even accept. For the average Joe on the street, sex, like race or species, can't be split into nuanced sociological and biological definitions. It's not a lack of education,…

Again, this disparity between male and girl. Trans girls may indeed be allowed to shower, dress, and share hotel accommodations with cisgender girls.

You're right. Rich people shouldn't act poor, and poor people shouldn't act rich. Know your station in life and stick to it. Wait ... what?

Yeah. WTF? Explain. Please explain.

I will come off as an elitist asshole, but it is true that smart, responsible, considerate people don't typically end up in these situations. It's not a matter of poor vs rich. Poor responsible people don't lease Acuras.

Exactly, but the new shareholders won't demand results?

Unless you only read gun blogs, almost every single study done on this topic internationally has shown exactly the opposite to be true. More guns leads to more gun violence.

I own a white on white Abarth with the red graphics and made the decision purely on emotional appeal. I love the Abarth. Everyone loves the Abarth. My 2 year old son goes apeshit if he has to ride in the family wagon (TSX Wagon) and can't ride in the Abarth. He says "Wheeeee" whenever I gas it. I'm a grown up, and the…

Why is anonymous speech vital? I think anyone with experience on the internet knows that the less constrained and managed a comments section is, the lower the quality of conversation. Gawker media can make a decision as to what quality of commentary you want. There is no moral imperative to allow anonymous speech.

A patriot of convenience. Only loves the parts of America that are convenient to his worldview.

You invalidated your own argument. If I say "Mexican food" you know what I mean. If I say "Cafe-style" you know what I mean, only the purist would try to argue what does and does not fit their narrow definition of a Cafe/Brat/etc. I spent 3 years and lots of $ rebuilding that bike. I replaced or rebuilt everything.…
