I don’t consider changing MSRP as a markup. You’ll pay that same price at every location sold via Tesla vs. the skeezy dealer down the street that wants to charge an extra 10k on top of MSRP because they can.

It’s one of the best ranches around. Pro tip, you can buy bottles of it.

Works great on most brake types, but some require a twist and push mechanism (some Fords, others). Had a buddy break a C clamp because he did not know this.

Where are my Italian Oven fans at? They had pasta straws back in the day.

Very true, it’s just entertaining to watch someone find out they have a base model when it’s listed as the top tier one. Happens quite a bit in the Subaru WRX / STi realm. It does impact the ask price.

Happens all the time even with private party sales. People aren’t familiar with the intricacies of the model’s trim and are convinced they have the “top tier” one when they really don’t.

1996 Subaru Legacy Wagon. 230,000 miles when I got rid of it. No head gaskets went, and the fella that I sold it to put at least another 50k on it.

I’m a one cup a day kinda person, so I wash it when I’m done drinking my cup for the day.

I think Tesla did it right, start off small (use Lotus chassis, add hardware, etc.), and grow over time (2008!-now). A lot of the other ones are just jumping right into full production.

The Venn diagram for those two groups is a circle.

Depends. My old commute was longer and a round trip used exactly 1/4 of a tank. There was a Circle K en route, so I just filled up either with 1/4 to go or when the light came on on the way home.

I have that exact set. It’s saved my butt on many an install. Also helped me disassemble my fridge panels to get to a chunk of ice and replace a defrost temp sensor.

I fully enjoyed the “How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster” Video from SpaceX

I wonder if Aston Martin is like McLaren and they can make good cars and F1 cars but NOT at the same time.

Fail fast (60% developed), learn, improve, and iterate.

All the more reason to use CarPlay / AndroidAuto. Headunit doesn’t actually store data, just acts like a second screen for your phone. Avoid syncing with any OEM system (bluetooth contact list, SYNC, etc.)
