There’s no penalty for copying in China, even Nikes. 

Ignored is Seattle decriminalizing drug possession and use, you can literally see people shooting up heroin on a sidewalk in the middle of the day. Ignored is refusing to prosecute “petty” crimes like ransacking and robbing small businesses, even chain stores to the point they are shutting down and moving out of…

Cadillac would be on easy street if it wasn’t for those damned Delahayes!

Couldn’t they have just called it a Cimarron?

The conservative estimates on how many Chinese people Mao Zedong killed are 50 million.... So the low estimate is nearly the entire population of the western coastal states of the US. You’re probably right, they have a decent system going, it just needs some work. FOH. 

The hottest big block cars were pretty underrated in the press releases, as were some of the wilder small blocks like the Boss 302, Chevy’s DX302, and the 340 Six pack from Mopar were fire breathers rated lower than they were. Where they really show their age is in their efficiency. 500hp in 1969 meant about 6mpg. 

For reference, at the time you could buy a 88 horsepower Mustang with a 2.3 liter four cylinder at the time. A Corvette that year had just 15 horsepower more, a Porsche 911 had 217 horsepower in 1988, a 911 Turbo came in well under 300 horsepower that year as well. This was one of the hotter cars you could buy outside…

The absolute worst “market adjustment” I’d seen was $120k on a GT-350 right around the time they came out. I had drug the Mrs. to the Shelby American factory in Las Vegas there was an event going on, I think it was Barret Jackson at the Mandalay next door, and one of the local dealerships had parked a new GT-350 at…

I love Panteras, and good ol’ Carroll, but not enough to pay $190K over market for a Pantera with safety bumpers.

I’d drive the Teslronco II. 

I’d look for a 1979-1986 Mustang GT, or SVO. With the 5.0 there would be a near limitless aftermarket, and the four eyed Foxes aren’t as ubiquitous as once they were. Getting power out of the engine is as easy as getting out of bed, there are dozens of options for suspension and brake upgrades, and you can get non…

I’m a Cruiserhead, as such I do tend to browse classifieds for them. These days you are more likely to find a 40 series with a SBC than a 2F in them. The big factor for the value is rust. The frame rails look clean, but I’d need to see more to decide for certain if it was worth it, but I’ve seen clean shells sell for…

It’s the 2020 Mercury Cougar GTE. 

Well, he amassed a $50+ million dollar fortune as a government employee having never made a salary higher than $225,000 a year. So yeah, probably. 

When I was going to college everyone had been issued either a Civic or a Jetta. When I should up in the Trans Am I’d bought in the Marine Corps I’m pretty sure a bunch of them thought I was a drug dealer. 

Some jenky shit does go down in Thailand. Ask any Marine or Sailor about Thailand and you’ll hear tales of debauchery that could make Larry Flint blush. I have a friend, who right after graduating high school went on a trip to Thailand. He was a pretty deeply religious guy at the time, but also an avid martial artist,…

I too graduated from the Elaine Benes Dance Academy. 

I believe the continuation cars are all brand new. I know the continuation car that they drove on The Grand Tour wasn’t road legal, at least in Britain. 

To be fair, Higgins was kind of a low key badass in Magnum P.I., maybe Elon thought he was getting THE Higgins. 

It very well could be, the last car standing in the Ford portfolio is the Mustang. I’d imagine it would be easier to adapt that platform for a new Continental than slam a CUV platform into the weeds to make a sedan. But I’m not an engineer. If they start getting enough takers at +100K it may even warrant a dedicated…
