911 GTS owner, which is supposed to be the fully specced 911 S alternative. Still out the door with $31K in options. Worth it. No PASM.

Add 20-30K to all the Porsches for reasonable option specs. I would guess that <1% leave the dealer with less than 10K of options. Also 18mo+ wait time.

Yes, keep the people that like cruises on the cruise ships.

I would expect that there is minimal enforcement, but if you get it inspected, there will be a record that is auditable. Every once in a while, some agent may want to make some waves and go check the records and crush cars. It has happened with grey imports multiple times. They go through the system for years with no…

I grew up in TX. That’s why I got into mountain biking. Drive to the park, ride, drive home. I had a Slurpee thrown at me when road riding, drivers swerve even on multi-lane open roads, etc. In Cali now and it is bike heaven. You still have the occasional angry driver, but it’s rare. 

That boy’s all windshield, no wiper.

The houseboats of Seattle are one of the things that make the city special. Why the hate? Same in Amsterdam. It may be a loophole, but it’s an awesome option to live on the water and adds a ton of character which would otherwise likely have been industrial waterfront.

Read through everything above, they could get the ship through if the masts aren’t installed. 

Interesting. I would guess that it is then beneficial to Bezos to plant a story and rile up the impulsive ‘billionaires bad’ journos so that he can avoid being extorted by local dutch officials to pay for infrastucture improvements. Ya’ll been played, again.

Even a year ago they were trading in the 150-300K range, but I haven’t checked in a while. Used racecars don’t hold value. All the prices now show POA, which likely means they’ve exploded like everything else: https://www.motorsportauctions.com/category/323/World-Rally-Cars.html

I tend to agree, and I’ve owned a few STI’s, including a RHD STI II. THey were great hero cars in their day. I still can’t imagine getting excited enough about a 22B to spend that kind of cash. It’s special, but everything other than the drivetrain on these old Subaru’s is so low grade and blah. I would spend that…

I love the ‘no intention to buy at all’ option. Then why TF are you filling out the survey?

QX50? (Looks it up, finds the Infiniti website) Is that a new Mazda? (5 min later - Already forgot about it)

I see M5's at the track with some regularity. This will keep up with some serious hardware and easily outpace all the base to mid-tier 911's at the track. Modern cars and tires can take the beating, but it will be expensive to run. It’s not the ideal track car, but if you want a DD/Family car/trackday car with cache,…

There is significantly more groupthink in the middle of the market. It’s the same reason that semi-expensive homes almost universally have dining rooms, but they are much less common in $2m+ houses. I recently saw a $10M home with no fireplaces. The owner must just not like fireplaces. You would never see that in a…

You realize that this is better than most ballot initiatives, which can only be changed through another ballot initiative. The 7/8 vote is actually a good thing and better than almost every other ballot initiative, allowing for obvious fixes after the fact.

How about letting your readers decide how to contextualize it. 

It was a bit of a mess, but I got one on the Microsoft site. All the other sites sold out quickly. The MS site kept showing the link, then failing. Finally it told me that there was a 1 item limit. My cart showed empty but after 5 minutes of refreshes the preorder showed up and I was able to checkout.

Let me give you an analogy that may help here. Let’s say that you have a great job. You earn good money, but for the last 2 years, your credit balance has increased. You’ve spent more money than you’ve made and racked up a lot of debt. At the same time, the gap has gone down, You are making more money every year, and…

I’ll clarify, a business, operating in the real world that is public cannot be a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme is purely financial, taking a dollar from a new investor to pay the last. You can have opinions about the viability of Uber, but it’s not a Ponzi scheme. They have a real business, which has required…
