Good call.  Looks like the Philadelphia dry docks are big enough for it.

“Bent frame”.   Serious question- does that car even have a frame?   I thought all McLaren were a carbon fiber monocoque.  That metal subframe broadly just bolts on and is replaceable.   

Mitsubishi must have the most liberal floor plan financing program ever.

Nice detective work. I thought that many cars sounded high, but the closest Mitsu dealership to me has 228 listed for one rooftop. They had some double-counting though: showing a 1974 Triumph TR6 and a 1974 Truimph TR6 as separate listings, even though they hadthe same inventory number.

Not sure why the article repeatedly calls the fine “huge” and then links to an example of a fine that was 4X as big.

In a straight-line, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Dodge can match the Porsche. I doubt the Dodge will be impressive on a track with turns.

the car in this article is an automatic, the first couple years of the manual transmission DB-9 had a very weak clutch that wore out way too early.  I had to replace mine at 17K miles.  The replacement clutches are reinforced, should last a fair bit longer.

So I’m not familiar with how a coupe, w/automatic should trade relative to the convertible with stick shift (my car) , but that’s really getting into nice price range.  

Agree with the other commenters. I’ve got a very similar 2006 Aston DB-9 Volante that I’ll probably sell soon. I’ve been watching auction prices, they tend to hammer around $36K. Car looks in good condition, but if anything $39K is probably just a tad high.  (I paid $79K for mine in 2012, just to give you an idea for…

Ugh, never mind , I missed the “last year” part of the sentence.

When Ford unveiled the hardcore Mustang GTD at Monterey Car Week 

So it was obviously a balloon to me.  But chef’s kiss for the rolling shutter explanation for why it looks a bit weird in shape for a regular balloon.  

You have the right take. I would imagine they are manufacturing capacity constrained initially for the electric Macan, so you might as well include a bunch of base options to raise the price to help control initial demand and also reduce the configuration complexity on the assembly line. They can always introduced a…

This “pay to play” model for security is ridiculous

This is a common pattern across many industries. Building a brand new business is hard. Building it a second time is a bit easier , you already learned the hard lessons.  I’d also point out that many founders / execs that are good at building a business from scratch are often terrible about managing it as a mature…

That’s a particularly grim point of view and while it has a kernel of truth , it doesn’t really encapsulate startups. Yes it is true that founders and investors start companies to make money, fine with that.

I should also point out that this is setting up to be a classic Republican legislation where they do not think through the consequences - they are painting themselves into a corner.

I guess I’d rather they waste their time chasing legislation for things that are non-existent and will not hurt anyone when outlawed rather than their normal daily activities of trying to destroy the public education system, or taking away reproductive rights, or codifying bigotry into law.  

Unfortunately I hadn’t seen your other replies before I clicked publish. I do hope you get a chance to break away from the meeting and catch the event.  

There is no chemical reaction from just mixing the two fuels together. It’s more like a cocktail , 1 part vodka (at 40% alcohol) , 1 part cranberry juice (at 0%) gets me 2 parts of a tasty 20% alcohol drink.
