While all very similar for sure, isn’t the Monocage (particularly Monocage2) sufficiently different from the Monocell as to be considered a true generational change, making this their third gen in 10 years? Honest question. Getting in a Monocage and then a Monocell2 back to back, they certainly feel substantively…

You mean the front end of a... CLK?

Great piece of history to cover.  These cars are beautiful and deserve our attention if even just for a minute.  I don't know how you always manage to find these cool cars and craft these wonderful stories, but I'm convinced you are either Sherlock of cars in Japan or part of a secret Scooby-Doo car gang.   Either…

Ken,

Nobody out there is *allowed* to grumble about his car collection.

4,000 miles? Looks more like 4 inches to me!

In Brunei, citizens enjoy:

My geography has some weak spots.

Dude. Rather than complaining about anything else why don’t you buy yourself a fucking map of the world?

Too much lag. You would lose some of that initial torque.

Couldn’t Porsche just install a larger turbo to increase the range?

Well son, you know how sometimes, in a seedy men’s room, there’s a hole in the divider wall...

How are they screwing customers? If they were really screwing customers, passengers would be going back to taxis en masse. Customers are getting fast, convenient service for often less than half the cost of a taxi.

I disagree this will destroy Uber.

Actually it’s to build a customer base for future self-driving cars, when the drivers will get tossed to the curb.

I can hear Doug saying every word of that.
