When I was learning to drive my mom told me that if I pressed the brake and gas pedals at the same time the car would explode. I knew that wasn’t true and never understood why she said that to me until the day I was talking about the displacement capacity of her Caddy’s 4.5 liter V8 and she made a comment along the…

Make Serfdom Great Again.

You’re right that extended outflows have a negative effect in the long run but the point that people often overlook is that those outflows come roaring back into the US in the form of large Treasury Bond purchases by the Chinese government, which enable us to fund our country. I haven’t looked at the latest figures…

-No, it means you’re losing something you could be gaining. That statement implies deficits are good. Care to elaborate?

Those roll-up windows make me unreasonable happy.

Without cashiers how will old people argue about a $0.03 discrepancy in the price of lettuce and then spend 20 minutes filling out a check?

The problem is the dealer is left holding the bag when the client backs out since the manufacturer is owed money for the car regardless. Finding someone who wants your bespoke spec of baby puke yellow with a red interior and blue convertible top isn’t worth the hassle for anything less than a top-tier luxury car.

I think this Gulf blue Porsche is the best one I managed to snag this year but I have a few favorites.

The base price of a Mini is over 30% higher than it was a decade ago! Between the insane price inflation and the fact that the lengthened wheelbase makes it not a Mini to drive means people stay away. I loved both of mine, warts and all, but I wouldn’t touch one of the new ones.

That’s what I was personally hoping for, but its still early in the Geely regime...

You only pay sales tax once and you pay it to the state when you register your car, not the one where you are purchasing it. If you are buying the car in the same state where you will be registering it then the dealer normally takes care of this and includes it in the Bill of Sale. Depending on the dealer they can…

The GM of the local Acura dealer came into our shop looking for a partnership where we’d market their inventory of NSX’s to our collector car clients. The numbers in that forum post match right up with the discussion. Ultimately we passed and put them in touch with some of our higher end wholesalers.

Hardhome Depot, obviously.

Beautiful, sunny, cloudless day. Parked my white Saab 900 Turbo with the top down and spent the next two hours in the basement of our school’s Fine Arts building helping the future Mrs Unicorns with a project. Return to find the weather had shifted to “monsoon season” and my car filled with about 3-4 inches of water.…

At the risk of arguing on the internet I will simply give myself 10 demerits and leave this here.

I like it, blend of the old Evora with the 400. Though the wing+spoiler combination on the rear is bugging me...

Not particularly. Used prices are steady thanks to a lack of available cars. The small scale production of Lotus puts a nice floor on second hand pricing. That is until Geely turns it into a mass- manufacturer.

Simple - investors demand it. Deliver constant sales growth above expectations or else watch the stock price tank and you’ll be waving goodbye to your cushy executive position.

Also, was not a road car.
