This is a smart, proactive, well-intentioned proposal.

What a cunty thing to write about.

I’m going out on a limb to suggest the family members are worth quite a bit less than 11 billion euros today. I am also curious to see the long term effects of the corona virus on the automotive world and, specifically, the ultra high end and collector business.  This could be a real turning point in values for quite…

Stop resisting the narrative!

So what’sthe solution then?

I’m not much of a finance guy but even I know that “net worth” doesn’t mean “amount of cash we have laying around”. So enough with the clickbait title - €10m is a significant sum. It is the government’s job to have resources to fight crises like this.

Another day, another “percentage of net worth” article about the ultra wealthy (not picking on Mike, it’s common across the mass media).

Came to Jalopnik today to read about car stuff. Left dissapointed that Jalopnik finds a way to bitch about someone donating money/resources, when the donating entity doesn’t have to do it at all.

Net worth is not the same thing as money to spend.

You’re absolutely right. All the rich auto guys should chip in. Musk can easily afford to donate 10% of his net worth to the cause. That’s a whopping $8 billion. $5.5 Billion. $3.7 Billion. $1.2 Billion. Er, $400,000

I don’t see how this is all that different from the NBA canceling the season moments before one of their games tips off in which at least two of the people on the court already had the virus. I get that this is Jolopnik and not Deadspin so the focus is for motor sport but all this my-gawd-look-how-dumb-the-FIA/Formula…

Glad to know we have out grown such silly and childish behavior.... Wait, I’m getting something from Lind, Washington...

Like this one?

My favorite activity at our annual county fair when I was a kid was the sledgehammer smash, where kids could hit a car with a sledgehammer for 25¢ per swing.

Before there were trains, people crashed horses into things.

I think it was PeTA that brought the suit, but it was the FTC that ultimately shut it down. Marketing a trunk ape as a trunk monkey ran afoul of advertising laws.

Be honest with us, Torch. You posted this just to prompt all the “trunk monkey” videos.  You know our stops.

Trunk boy.

Ooh, I would love for my car to show me a different rev limit with temperature. Though I’d like even more for it to just automatically protect itself unless I hit some override.

Remember; make sure you listen to the random forum person who claims break-in is unnecessary in modern vehicles. There are so many of them, they must be right!
