Because Giorgio Giugiaro is dead. And also regulations and aerodynamics. It makes me sad, too. I would *love* a car that looks like a Khamsin but drives (and is reliable) like a modern car.

This deserves more stars than it’s getting.

Buy a *decent* car company that makes money. I’d call up Horacio Pagani and see if he wants to sell a minority interest. I’d also see whether I could convince him to build me a front-engine / rear-drive station wagon, all out of carbon fiber and with the drivetrain from the Zonda F.

Absolutely! You could have a small fleet of used 911 GT3 Cup cars, with spares and transporter, for $750k. If you’re not driving them like a pro racer would, you’ll get several seasons between engine rebuilds.

I guarantee he was not having 38 times the fun you were having, even though he spent 38 times the cash.

The D.A. can *charge* you with whatever he or she feels like. Proving it beyond reasonable doubt, such that the judge or jury convicts...that’s a different thing.

This is what Dodge Charger buyers will buy once FCA goes out of business / sells only Jeeps / is sold to Geely and only makes tiny cars afterward.

About $650k. No, I don’t understand how this works, either.

^^^^ This!

If it’s already written in the book on which the series is based, is it really a spoiler?

Most likely they came as a package with some more desirable cars, from an estate seeking to auction off a whole collection.

Dammit! That’s definitely worth more than $20k.

Hm. Well, I dunno. Maybe.

Wait, why don’t all stupid action movies now have squid-bike jousting? This movie should have made that standard like the Matrix did with “bullet time.”

(1) Is the wheelbase too short to happily pull a 24-foot / 7k lb race trailer?

Somehow I doubt it. Gallardos and 360s never got that cheap.

Gold diggers will want to know whether you’ve got a “30" kind of lease payment or a “70" kind of lease payment. I give it 8 weeks before this shows up in a Hip-Hop or R&B song.

Because it’s not about the power, it’s about the ordinal signaling.

A thousand times this. My dad and uncles had Caddys in the 70's, I bought a ‘75 Eldorado myself, and they are just horrible highway cars. A 1977 Volvo or Mercedes is a far more comfy way to drive 600 miles in a day.

Yeah, and they got stolen all the damn time. My uncles both had Eldo Biarritz’s for a while and we lived in a bad neighborhood. So many “my CB got stolen” stories. The hilarious thing is that the local fence was a friend of ours, so they’d usually get them back, minus a little vig to Fish the Fence.
