I felt a bit of sticker shock when I first saw this price but then I realized I’m poor and couldn’t afford it anyway so my reaction is pretty irrelevant. I also remembered how much people are dropping on the new XC90 - it’s anecdotal but I’ve talked to a couple folks who have paid double-digit premiums to get their…

It was the second to last sentence so you got pretty far.

I think it’s very much in line with the traditionally Republican (i.e. fiscal conservative) goal of cutting unnecessary spending. Doing away with the EV credit for higher income individuals is equivalent to means testing for Social Security, which even staunch conservatives like Krauthammer and Gov. Mitch Daniels have…

Despite being a Republican with a deep disdain for the Golden State as a whole, I have to applaud California for this. Allowing high-income individuals to claim the credit is just absurd; I guarantee less than 5% of $250k+ earners were actually incentivized by the tax benefit, and would’ve bought their EV regardless…

I find it quite hard to believe that the EPA was not made aware of the meeting and invited to attend, and I would argue that the minority party...assuming the role of “the Defense” in this case, would be charged with supplying their own experts and “witnesses” to counter “the Prosecution’s” statements. If they do…

It is 100% accurate. There seems to be a lot of confusion here from people who don’t understand how congressional hearings work.

Never in history has “other side of the aisle” been used to reference another branch of government (or anything other than “opposing party” for that matter). For congressional hearings, committee members from both parties have the chance to invite witnesses to testify; Rep. Posey was trying to say that Republicans…

I have an S60 from that Ford shared-key era and have seen an Aston key that uses the same enclosure. It’s such a blatant and half hearted attempt to cover up the fact that there’s a money saving attempt at play.

This issue actually a provides a pretty accurate snapshot of how much money groups need to spend in order to get a (relatively minor) bill introduced. Lobbying disclosure reports show that SEMA drops a cool $100k-plus annually on lobbying, probably more with PAC contributions.

From a purely economic standpoint I think I’d opt for this (if I had piles of money, of course). The conversion amounts to a special edition; assuming the P1 will appreciate like other hypercars of yore, the naked carbon option will make it all the more valuable. It’s essentially a rock solid investment that you can…

Didn’t realize it gets warm enough there to wear shorts and short sleeves. Or maybe they’re just so hardened from the perennial winters that 35 degrees feels like summer.

Have always wondered - those little pull lever/plunger-looking things (or are they buttons? Not even really sure how to describe them) that are next to the center console vents, what do they do?

Just missing the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sticker on the back

Good god they should knock off $3k for those chintzy rims.

Which episode was that on TG with May commenting on the Subaru? Not calling you out, just curious.

Here’s what pops into my mind for each of these cars:

I will never understand these minuscule investments made by governments. $3 million is a paltry sum when you consider how much it would actually cost to fully develop any new technology.

I thought Tavarish was getting unjustly ganged up on in the comments section of his articles, until I started reading accounts from actual owners on the MBWorld forums.

Would you?

Awesome, but there’s a big ol tax bill headed her way soon.
