Well this is all my hope. Bot the pro and anti-purchase posts make interesting points. I have zero reason (even if the guy spear-heading this loves cars) to trust these investors, as the business model for these types of firms is usually to suck every last penny out of an entity and then discard it to collapse. As…

Lads, it ain't the paint that's exciting, it's the technology and pure speed of the thing. All that speed! (Not that kind, Robbie Ford.)

Look, I'd take Belichick's advice to heart, too, but leaving the combine is a bit much.

So, the average NASCAR fan, FOX News and ESPN are kind of dumb? News to me.

So many souls to devour, so little time. :'(

Oh god it's growing.

My wing is rising watching this.

There you go, crushing my hopes and dreams.

Give me this with a solid roof and that new 1-liter engine, and make it light as hell, GM. Give me a proper hot hatch and I will sell my body to buy it.

You might get a ticket at most in NYC for that.

Aston Martin is charging crazy prices for luxury sports cars that have the cheapest plastic [imitation] they could find in important bits. Can't wait to see where else they're cutting corners.

Not light enough! I kid, I kid. But as you said, with the Fiesta and Spark getting new 1-liter engines, we're on our way there. Those new composites the manufacturers are working on should also help lose some more weight.

Competition FTW. Maybe now we can get some decent proper light-weight/good mpg/acceptable performance cars from these two.

Where did I mention a conspiracy, champ? I mentioned not liking politicians sticking their noses in an election that had nothing to do with them and trying to sway it. If the workers don't want a union, that's fine. I don't give a shit about the result, I care about the process being messed with.

A few months ago, when they first penalized Seb for donuts, I suggested somebody mail the FIA a big bag of weed. Looks like we have a winner. Come forth and claim ye prize, oh noble cannabis dispenser.

Looks very nice from that angle. I'll take one in McLaren historic orange!

I actually agree with this. VW likes their work-counsils, and I don't think they necessarily need the American definition of a union to have one.

There was another state rep who threatened to try and stop plant expansion if they unionized, too. Some douchebag state senator named Bo Watson said outright they'd withhold any future subsidies, and the governor said other businesses would totally stop liking Tennessee.

I don't think they necessarily needed a union. The conditions at the plant seemed nice enough, and I think VW might create a work council anyways since they have them as a matter of company policy. Like I said, trying to fuck with an election isn't cool, and we'll probably never know if it had an effect. I'm kind of…

In VW's case, they have work councils which work with the company to improve efficiency in German plants. From their end, a union would be the same thing, so they don't mind it. They don't mind paying their workers good wages, so union or not, they were ready to give more production to the Tennessee plant. Like VW, I…
