That’s how I feel, too. I saw one of these on the highway and it looked great.

That’s a shame, because the man designs some fantastic looking vehicles.

“It’s” versus “its”... the Jalopnik writers continue to be baffled.

“I cannot figure out why the BoD of Tesla hasn’t put Musk out on his ass yet.” In the recent compensation lawsuit in Delaware, the judge ruled that the board was made up of Musk’s family and friends and was not independent.  I think this also answers your question.

I think the problem is that as much of a liability as Musk is, the BoD is probably too scared of what would happen if he left and took his army of chuds with him. His lunacy makes up one of the legs on a very rickety stool. 

Elon is part of the problem. But he’s not the only reason Tesla stock is tanking.

MERIT is relative. When Model T’s went on sale a horse was faster, easier to care for, and more affordable. But as technology progressed and infrastructure increased the combustion engined car took over. Traditional car manufacturers and fossil fuel conglomerates still get a lot of subsidies and incentives that keep…

When you get involved with a pole star, they'll bleed you dry, a $20 at a time.  (Ummmm, or so I've heard.)

I think we call that a CC here in Australia. The last model of the original 124 Coupe they produced back in the day. Here they’re becoming extremely rare if not impossible to find - all already owned, or raced to death. The one I restored was more of a hollow shell but the impact damage to this one makes it look like a…

Winsor only dismissed the case against DeSantis and the Secretary of State for standing. He dismissed the case against CFTOD on the merits (with very weak reasoning, IMO).

Preach.

My dad bought a 75 when I was 7. It was navy blue with white stripes. It wasn’t around long, but I now know I didn’t give him enough credit for how cool it was at the time.

That’s absolutely lovely.

IN 2013 I restored a 1972 Fiat 124 BC Coupe (with tons of help from some very good friends) and used it as my daily driver and only vehicle for 5 years. When originally released it came standard with 5-speed gearbox, twin-cam engine, and four-wheel disk brakes. It’s light, rorty, fun to drive and has amazing all-round…

Citroën SM. Might as well drive something interesting.

I wish a lot more of your nation’s decision-making and problem-solving was allocated to NASA. They extract maximum bang for funding bucks. They believe in science. They have a sense of humor. And a broad objective for the good of all mankind.

We have enough money to fly helicopters on Mars AND do XYZ. And ABC, and QRS, all at the same time. We just need to stop a VERY small slice of society from hoarding so much of it.

Kitzbühel is 127km from Munich. He probably flew into Munich with the intent of driving or taking a train to Kitzbühel. Which makes it all even shittier because he wasn’t bringing the watch to Germany, he was taking it to a different country. But the Germans want their cut, obviously. It’s also probably why he didn’t…

Had someone in our import brokerage chain checked the wrong box that tagged our good being imported as being from China instead of Spain. Big $$$ difference.

Yeah that’s like a special ‘Fuck you’ to anybody hit with this kind of fine. Just to tip you over the edge after you’ve already been detained and fined.
