What a pleasant reminder of how simple and functional a dashboard can be. A single DIN stereo, straightforward climate controls, everything you need and nothing you don't. I pine for those days, even though LCD screens are not going away.

This makes perfect sense. Displaying analog gauges on a digital screen is a skeumorph that we'll see less and less of as our expectations fall away from the past and begin to look forward.

For the go-arounds, are the pilots straight up and just say "Folks, (they always say folks) we're going to give this landing another try due to heavy crosswinds" or do they sort of bullshit to make people not be scared? Anyone ever been on one of these?

You know what? This makes me feel great about flying. Every single one of those aircraft landed safely and all the passengers got to where they were going. Fun to watch though!!

Honestly, it's probably crack at any price, but I admire the seller for being realistic and not asking 10K for this thing because "It's the best Sterling you're going to find ANYWHERE or some such nonsense. I vote NP.

If you can buy that car for a hundred grand, then it probably wasn't worth half a million in the first place.

If we can't shit on our neighbors, what can we do to them?

Jeepers!

What a dumb tailgate design. Here, you can load stuff into your car as long as it is one foot wide.

"The clip's obviously an ad for Mercedes, as you can see a new M-Class SUV was used as the biker's shuttle..."

I'd bet a nickel that the Bug walks away from the Lambo (and just about anything else) above 300 or 320 KPH, due to all the effort put into its aerodynamics.

I should think it is largely a function of power to weight ratio. Probably somewhere around four or five pounds per horsepower? I'm sure you could make a logistic regression model with power, weight, tire width, driveline and chassis type, etc. but let's keep it simple.

Alsi, can we preserve just a little corner of civil forfeiture for situations like this?

I challenge anyone to come up with a more "New money" scenario than driving a Gallardo to Target.

Dang. And I thought my Isuzu pickup with no power steering was hard to maneuver.

To be fair, U.S. Air Force One is also Cold War era. Or at least the airframe is.

Well, right. And it's going to be so utterly quiet and smooth as to be anticlimactic. It's TOO GOOD.

How could driving a car like this in North America be anything but an exercise in frustration? Arrive at license-losing speeds in the time it takes to say "twin turbo V12". I guess I'm in the slow car fast camp. Great example of the Tavarish Way though!

So who got paid from this? It's the classic "put all the risk on the taxpayers and reap the profits up front" formula we see in professional sports.

So then let's get real: the hellcat isn't a serious car. It's entertainment. It's an emotion. It's an investment. It gets people into dealerships to buy Darts and 200s.
