I see what you are doing there. What? “You mad cuz I ain’t dumpin’ on Obama so you can feel better about Trump f’ing up everything?”

Why is it then that European car maker, even the large ones, can roll out $400K+ supercars on a semi-regular basis? and keep selling them for 5 years or more? 

Actually no Under Obama there was increased Vigilance. This dies result in a lot of people being stopped, usually for good reason. But the clumsy nature of the early TSA (as if they have improved all that much) was also to blame. But that was not vigilantes with badges, wildly overstepping their bounds demanding…

A $150K, going to $250K, car is NOT “blue collar” anything, even at $150K. Even a Viper starts for $80K, before FCA overstepped and forgot to produce the convertible version, too. The Corvette is considered the “Blue Collar super car” precisely because you don’t have to have an elite’s bank roll to afford one. Even…

It helps, from time to time, to step things up a little to knock some of the sarcasm out of some commenters and get them to actually say something useful.

The Integra Type-R and the CTR is a case of Honda making two hot hatches essentially. The particulars of their relationship is not clear to me. The S200 was RWD, 2-seat, Sport car not a FWD hopped up economy car. The NSX was and is again a Super car.

Actually, kinda’, yes.

Yeah... you totally missed the point of the comment. And no I would not being “internet clever”. I was thinking more along the lines of the 2005 GR-1 Concept.

Make the Lexus LF-A Argument. They built a whole factory for that one car. Seemed like a stupid move on their part. And then Toyota turned around to start make CF parts for other cars, starting with the Prius Prime.

You know what would be ridiculously awesome? If the Ford GT cost only in the $100K range, was actually made by Ford Actually, and was not built in numbers than guarantee only a few people will get on, even have one, and be sold only to collectors who will squirrel them away until the end of civilization.

Sidd Bikkannavar is a natural-born US citizen who works at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. He’s also a prolific traveler who found himself reentering the United States right as the controversial immigration ban took effect. For unexplained reasons, he was detained and border agents demanded access to his NASA-issued…

Your comment doesn’t fit. It is actually correct for a New York to New Jersey “old timey” dialect. It shows you have some learning and knowledge of other cultures and/or sub-cultures.

The Real Photo is NOT much to the fake one, at all.

Looks like a 1990s TV horror show, like a creepier version of “The Outer Limits”.

Elon Musk has said from the outset that his ultimate goal for Tesla is to sell it, preferably to someone that will have it or let keep building EVs. I personally think Tesla may ultimately fail as a Car maker, which becomes its secondary business, but continues in making the core tech for EVs going forward.

I know the axiom,”no news is good news,” but how is Lucid doing financially? Faraday Future is all but belly up, maybe someone will by FF if only to get their tech. But can Lucid make their car happen? Or are we going to watch Lucid also die a slow agonizing death as they too sink into the quicksand of failure?

The point to the article is to stop clogging your “worst of” lists with these cars, so you don’t end up giving more recent crapcans a pass.

There is a large contingent in China that like to off-road. The Nuveau Riche will gladly throw down for a brute of an off-road vehicle like the raptor, that already has a reputation for being able to run and win grueling off-road races stock.

Automation. If Coal got its way to come back, I would expect huge numbers of mining ROBOTS, not humans to do the work. The death toll from black lung and other related diseases is artificially low because those miners do NOT want to have their conditions reported and thus lose their jobs.

I beleive it is a stock photo from a previous mission in the region, Most likely in Iraq. If not, the photo was likely taken at the start of the mission.
