I see that you are not good with statistics.

My first introduction to the E-Type was as a young lad from my car-loving uncle, and as an impressionable youth he told me, “The E-type is one of the most beautiful cars ever, except for the hardtop. The hardtop is ugly as fuck. No one wants that.” ... Or something to that effect. The opinion has stuck with me.

I really hope you can understand that you didn’t win the argument and any rational reader would conclude that in fact you seem impervious to any input and more interested in pummeling everyone with your agenda.

I take it you own a dealer or work at one. Work for GM? Why would a consumer NOT want a direct sales model? Tesla’s model is 100x better. No BS. I don’t have a Tesla or plan to buy one soon, but I do wish all mfrs would go this direction.

Changing one’s opinion doesn’t make it “revisionist”. The Veyron is out of fashion. Pure driving ecperienced have become wildly fashionable (see Mclaren F1 prices).

Untrue

Where is Bami to tell us about the problem with White Folks?

Lunchbucket? I don’t get it.

Yes, but this is a completely different level of car. I know that there are 4C’s, Ferrari’s, etc sprinkled around middle class neighborhoods. Once you get to $1MM plus cars, it is a different game. I call it the Beldrueger law. The highest price car you will find in a garage in any neighborhood shall not exceed the…

Me or Bami? I’m not tuned into you micro-culture echo chamber.

I’m not clear, are you framing this up as a White People issue? Is the”they” you use throughout your comment White People?

Well, except that the crank is higher up on a wankel, so is the CoG. In other words, it would have handled better with a convential engine.

I don’t personally know anyone who would leave their kids in the car, even for a minute. Again, it’s not a big incovenience.

Yes. 100% of the time with both kids. I never left them inside the car. It’s not that hard. If you can’t handle that then I worry about the rest if your parenting skills. “Do I need to change the diaper, it’s not all that dirty.”

Yes, but have you seen it?

The Toyota is cool.

OK, so we’ve got a 25 year old truck that wasn’t very fast, wasn’t legal to run, had a half-assed 4-wheel drive system, and doesn’t even look all that great. Unless you think that 100% of anything that ever raced is cool. Why is this cool?

I don’t think anyone would disagree with what you’ve stated, bit it misses the point. No one is advocating placing underqualified candidates in roles. Do you not think that there are at least half as many qualified women as men? If they hit their quota, it would still mean that the ratio is 2:1. If you don’t believe…

I bought a Porsche bicycle once and it got a flat tire. They wouldn’t take it back. Buyer beware.

I had a red 92 TT back in the 90's and loved it, but it’s not the first car I would buy again. It wasn’t a great driver’s car, but it did kickstart a whole new era of tuning with Stillen or Jim Wolf + lots of nitrous. Mine put 500hp to the wheels before the NOS.
