LOL,  you’re right. Old money would be happy with his Volvo.

Looking on Hemmings, these cars go for about $300,000.00. That’s a lot of money, but its significantly less than the $480,000.00 price of a new home in the U.S.

Yeah that’s the sad thing here. A “real rich” person would be buying a new Lambo... which he would call a “Lambo” and rarely if ever drive. This guy probably lives a reasonably ordinary life other than having always dreamed of owning the Lamborghini he had as a poster on his wall as a kid, and finally saved up enough…

I also meant the fact that he didn’t found Tesla. He invested in it, then overthrew the founders and demanded to be called a founder retroactively. You know where the founders went? Lucid.

So, I defended Musk’s take when he filed his lawsuit. It does seem sketchy to me when a non-profit suddenly decides it wants to sell out and make bank. That said, it surprises me not in the least that we’re now learning that Musk is a sleazebag* whose entire motivation is spite at having missed out on the OpenAI…

Torpedoing American automakers’ transition to EV is basically driving a stake through the heart of the U.S. auto industry. The EV future is inevitable and at the moment it looks like China is going to own it. 

I just took an exhaust to a muffler shop to get a hanger welded on. After a few minutes the guy pops out and says “I can’t weld it... it’s aluminum.” I was stunned... aluminum? “Look” he said, and put a magnet up to it. The magnet would not stick.

If the two cars cost exactly the same, I would take a new 6 speed Miata over a Bugatti Chiron any day of the week.

“We offer more shades of gray than can be distinguished by the human eye.”

Yeah, it’s a pretty cool looking machine... even if it’s inherently douchey.

You mean, besides the CyberTruck?

An Alfa Guilia with three pedals... oh, and also, have Toyota build it so it won’t break in 10,000 miles.

“I bought the cheapest 2011 BMW Alpina B7 in the country”

What are the odds that China has a full set of blueprints for the X-37B?

Remember when Apple tried to patent rectangles with rounded corners?

Trump would probably pass them along in exchange for trademark protections for Ivanka’s perfume lines, though.

Only if you are trying to become a car YouTuber and you need a foolish, cheap, very bad idea of a ride to get started.

But that’s the thing... they’re pretty much all doing it these days. It’s rare that an airline doesn’t charge you a baggage fee for checked bags, and these days they’re all charging for carry-ons as well. Then there’s this “economy plus” garbage, where they try to up-charge you for an “economy-plus” seat that is…

This is funny. I once saw a comedian replicate the drum solo from “In a Gadda Davida” using just a paper bag and his hands, and it was perfect.

I’ve only flown Spirit once, and honestly it wasn’t any worse than any other airline. Yes, you pay extra for EVERYTHING, but more and more that seems to be the model that all airlines are following. It’s like the mobile game industry and their microtransactions. It’s not that I loved, or even liked Spirit... it’s that…
