How on earth you pull that off? Around me that’s a $30k truck.

I can’t think of any car I’d want to drive in the $20k range. What even is there? A Versa? Kill me.

F1 TV app is something like $80 for the year. It’s far and away the best solution to watching the races. 

Seems awfully expensive, and close in price to far more capable machines. Talking to a guy yesterday who picked up a BMW M340i for $57k. Kind of apples to oranges, I know. But, I just can’t really imagine the buyer for this car.  

That’s my exact approach. The technology seems to be rapidly improving, so next year or the following I’ll spend $3k on a robot and hope it does everything I need. The Husqvarna 435 is already pretty tempting.

Yeah, I’d have no issues with the banning of any gas powered weedwhacker or leaf blower. Those are insanely dirty engines that, by and large, can be duplicated by electric devices.

It really might be $7k. For the first time in my life (I’m 40) I am considering buying a new car over a used car. Looking at a variety of cars, but pretty much across the board a two-year old car with 20-50k miles is only a few thousand dollars less than new. Or you can buy a base or base-ish model car for the same…

But does that really make it better? Surely there’s a better solution, including maintaining necessary equipment on a cruise ship, than throwing him in an insufficient cooler. 

Ridiculous price. Somehow $5k is the new $2.5k. There’s a 2001 Toyota Corolla with 159,000 miles down the road from me for sale that’s beat to shit and they are asking $4,800. Insanity.

I go to this little deli down the street from me, well, I did, before the guy retired. And he has a ‘13 Mustang GT500. He’s pretty terrified of it. Takes it out maybe ten times a year because he feels it’s just always a few steps away from sending him sideways into a ditch. But it’s always cool to see. And it is…

Thanks for doing the math I’m too lazy to do.

Ever try to shoot something out of a moving car? It’s, uh, a lot fucking harder than the movies make it look. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up in a place with lots of land and lots of idiots who own guns. It’s really, really hard to actually hit anything. It’s mostly movie magic. A pistol is hard enough. With this…

My only question is if they fire fast enough to hit a moving car... which seems like the point of the thing. And 37 is pretty slow for a ‘high speed chase.’ 

On a flight from Switzerland to Newark we got on a redeye that turned out to be almost entirely made up of various flight attendant crew for a few different airlines who all needed to be back in NYC. It was a codeshare airline, and I think our one flight was technically three or four different airlines, so it was all…

Been saying this forever. Tesla got in early, made piles of money, and if they were smart would transition to making all their money in batteries, fast chargers, charging-infrastructure, etc. As soon as major manufacturers caught up (which was inevitable) the writing would be on the wall.

That Civic strikes me as the most impressive. Also, was the RPM gauge... not.. right? Or was it really running up to 9k or more?

This was my instant first-impression. 

Seems like we need a statutory age cut-off for driving semi-trucks, no?

Yeah, some undercarriage shots would surely be necessary before I considered making the trek out there...
