Ain’t nobody making minimum wage in those ports

You are completely missing the point. If she were sitting in the stands or a box, fine.  The Grid Walk is a media event itself, if the walkway host at the Oscars tried to interview her would you think it acceptable for the bodyguards to push that person away?

Agree. I don’t think is unreasonable to have bodyguards, but to get the pass for the grid you have to have a modicum of professionalism and not push away the journalist with the microphone and TV camera. You don’t see stars at the Oscars , Emmys, and other spectacle media events with bodyguards pushing away the…

People are also assuming this steel was all for the hull, but if it was for pipes you also have to take into account freeze seals. a freeze seal is when you wrap the pipe in a coolant and drop the temperature so that the fluid in the pipe freezes in place.

this is not an unreasonable take.  In the US we would typically just stick those flexible lane dividers up to accomplish the same goal.  It’s not going to prevent you from getting the large vehicle through, but it’s going to f*** up your paint and you’ll definitely hear that you went through it, which is enough to…

Nice find. I was using GM’s numbers, which didn’t cover the options. I think you are broadly right then, but I’d adjust my math, the step up from a C7 base to a ZR1 would be smaller than what I showed, since a C7 loaded out with all the performance options was heavier than I had credited.

Wow , people are desperate to be able to buy any car at MSRP, eh?

Curb weight? Or are you using some other weight metric?

Half those people on the wait list already have the base level . They got on the dealer waitlists in 2019 for the base model, got it delivered in 2020, and will be ready to trade in their 2020 for a Z06 when they take delivery in late 2022 or 2023.

I am really curious to see what the weight on the car looks like. Traditionally the Z06 was widebody, naturally aspirated with more power, and a bit less weight than the base model (almost 200 lbs lighter in the C5 Z06).

Even if the driver had stolen the car and run it into the house, the owner will be held responsible.  

yes, I’m not defending them by any means.  If the local TV station is going to show up to do a story, you should be able to pull that video... 

Sounds like a theft-ring operating within the people employed at the airport to me...

Number of bumper stickers mattered as well. I think your safe from this guy:

And I think this is generalizable.  There is no legitimate reason to roll coal, it’s an expression of territoriality.  

Drivers who slap a bumper sticker onto their cars are more likely to drive aggressively, according to a social psychologist at Colorado State University. ... “The fact that they’ve put something on their car expresses their territoriality and that seems to be the larger mechanism driving aggressive responses,” he…

Agreed, it’s 87K lbs- without the wings, tail, and engines it is going to be less than 80K lbs - by weight it wouldn’t even require permitting under federal rules in the US.

Yes, at first look I thought, Oh , that’s decent rear legroom. But look at the seat tracks, they’ve got the seat all the way forward I bet.

Okay, seeing this just proves how bad the Trump endorsed design was.  There is a way to make red, white, and blue look good on a plane.  

There should be consequences for the his parents as well.  (I’m assuming a 16 yr old didn’t buy the truck himself).  I highly doubt the 16-yr old made the modifications to the truck to roll coal, so this is just passed down behavior for the parents at this point.
