Thank you for that elaborate explanation. My builder followed your idea and my house was built 16.5" higher. This took me and my close neighbors out of FEMA flood zone rating while technically living in a flood zone area.

Before that question can be answered, you have to determine whether the 100- or 500-year design spec really adds that much to the cost. It may only require hardening the lower levels of an otherwise conventional building; it may be nothing more than site preparation before building a conventional building begins.

I thought it was Coolio?

Is there a venti award for that fake chrome vent?

Does this count?

No, more like 1973. That was the heyday of Giorgetto Giugiaro and Marcello Gandini-penned “wedge” designs, mostly from Bertone.

It’s not an accident-though that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a mistake.

Maybe he shouldn’t have used the...

Citroen SM + Tesla drivetrain! Instead of getting all oléopneumatique on the suspension, modern air springs + Delphi’s MagneRide could handle the self leveling and ride height control. I’ve seen some clean examples here in Chicago actually, sitting on their haunches in high-end Euro and Exotic shops.

Porsche 928's, bring back the sharks and give them the credit they deserve Porsche. You listening?

This shit right here...

Just put the badges on magnets, then you can swap between C/D/P models at will!

Early 90's Toyota pickups. Small, efficient and dead reliable. Hell Toyota should goes all out and give us the four door hilux everyone else got this generation as well

How do you define subsidies? SpaceX is the low cost provider in the satellite business. He’s providing the same service that Boeing and Lockheed, two of the biggest defense contractors, charge the government more for. Those companies receive government money that DWARFS anything SpaceX has ever gotten.
