I would not be even remotely surprised to learn that he believes exactly this. 

“Musk is the most wealthy person on the planet — probably in all of human history...”

People still drive Model Ts, and other early automobiles with systems that are way more complex than a current 6MT. Hell in a Model T you had to move the spark advance lever depending on the driving conditions. 

Let me guess... a door blew out.

A manual, GR Supra. The haters can complain all they want about it “being a BMW underneath”, this is a great car. It’s fun to drive, it looks cool, and it’s a proper, six-speed, two-seat sports car (or GT car if you prefer). I think they’re going to be worth money in the future.

You can’t limit who can enter a lottery. “No purchase necessary” is a legal requirement. You can sell a lottery ticket, but that’s a game of chance which has different rules.

I mean, they could just colour match the sensors - like every other bloody manufacturer. Hell, even my Crosstrek has colour-matched sensors in the bumper.

It’s homely as fuck. I’ve never been “meh” on a Ferrari before. There have been Ferrari’s I’ve loved (F40, 512BBi, 599 GTO) and Ferrari’s I’ve hated (Purosangue, Enzo, LaFerrari), but I’ve never been ambivalent towards one until now.

New Brisk-ish(tm).  Looks like brisket, tastes like hotdogs, made with... things. 

I will hate on the C8 all day long. But, even I am impressed with 200+ mph, a factory warranty, pump gas, and the ability to get it serviced damn near anywhere. Add to that a complete lack of ego on GM’s part - anyone with cash can buy one - and this is a total winner. 

Any Escalade, in any trim. If you really need a fancy, giant, box-shaped tank to take your kids to school and soccer practice, buy a Yukon Denali and save your self $25K - $30K. At least then when the plastics start cracking, and all the fittings start creaking and rattling, and the leather starts wearing out, and the…

Fuck. No.

Even after zooming in, it still looks like a bad snip.

Trail Turn Assist. Is this the same trick system that locks up a rear wheel on the Bronco, to allow for tighter turns at switchbacks?

Rangers were awesome. You could do truck things with them. They were decent off-road, had enough cargo capacity, and could a small boat. Nothing wrong with a Ranger; especially with a 4.0l

My dad is a retired Forester. When we were kids we’d go to the dryland sort, get a log, and my dad and uncles would spend the day splitting and bucking it into firewood. While that was happening, I got to ride in one of these: A log loader. I’d get to ride along and load log trucks. Super safe, I’m sure.

A Porsche Cayenne; a Cayute if you will. There could be 37 versions of it: Cayute, Cayute Carrera, Cayute S, Cayute Turbo, Cayute Turbo S, Cayute GT3, Cayute GT3RS, Cayute Targa, Cayute Targa S, Cayute 4, Cayute Cabriolet, Cayute GTS Cabriolet, Cayute 4 GTS Cabriolet, Cayute Dakar, Cayute S/T.

I differentiate it as: Moonglow Rolls = ooh pretty toy I can’t afford. This neighbourhood = white, intolerant, boomers

This could be the single whitest place in America.

I’ve been here (in two different user names) for the better part of 15 years. For most (like 14.5 years) of that time, I’ve been not-grey. It’s just weird to be grey again.
