I had to abstain from voting on this one. I just don’t know what to say... if I use my normal criteria, I get NP. Assume someone is out there who wants to buy this - then decide if the price is appropriate (could you get a better example or build your own for less). But I just can’t believe there is someone who would…

Why would he have to explain? It was very obvious from the cost that it would be a family plan with additional data, features. Everyone has a cell plan - so we should all be versed in the cost of them. I knew immediately what he implied. You simply used your own experience and flawed logic - “I don’t pay that much, so…

In the mid 90s, the average bill for a single line was 19.98. AVERAGE. That means there were prices below that. In the 80s, very easily to get a $15 basic bill because a lot of the money was made from long distance calls. I’m telling you right fucking now - stop trying to refute what people are saying with no…

Yes, I do swear remembering, you insufferable ass. From a report about cable cost and deregulation. I’m not sure how the fuck old you are, but you are as ignorant and pretentious a bastard who has ever been wrong on the internet. You were wrong in both of your points - people did pay less than you think and do pay…

We have cable/internet/home phone with premium channels and the bill is $217 or something. I’m not proud of that - I’m not the TV watcher in the house - but that’s the bill. Taking off home phone only lowers it 30 or so dollars. So, yes, that is amounts people pay.

Well, guys end up having a different view of all those kinds of things. I think the reason it gets applied to all triathlons is simply cause they have one set of rules. Last I heard, though, they were upping the weights. I thought they were low, too - the men’s was 200. Just checked, the new weights are 165 and 220. I…

I will give 1,000,000,000 imaginary internet dollars to buy NPOCP cars. Feel free.

That’s such crap. If you were shopping for this car - you’d just email the guy for more info and pics. This is NPOCP, not an critique for craiglist ads. I agree the ad is lazy - but for the sake of a silly internet voting game, just assume the shit is what it is.

I’m not 100% sure of what you are saying here. If a car doesn’t price well against other similar cars, it’s over priced. That’s not what is happening here. I found a 2002 Gemballa with 31K for 99,000 dollars. I found stock turbos with low miles for 50-60K. This car is appropriately priced - if not an actual bargain.…

Athena is better than Clydesdale - which is what they call the bigger guys. :P I assume that’s where your draft horse joke came from. The funny thing is the weight classes came about for hyper competitive people (likely guys) since the lower body weight is a big advantage in endurance sports. If you are taller or…

Well, when you are getting a road or mountain bike, a lot of effort is spent on the frame geometry. The distances between the seat, the cranks and the handles are all slightly different. Women do tend to have different proportions than guys so the women’s bikes reflect that. Granted, everyone is shaped different so…

There is definitely a bias against expensive cars on NPOCP. I went NP, though I’d have loved to see a better add. Twin turbos and no shot of the engine? Really?

When we were shopping for a car in March, there were some people test driving a used one at the Mazda dealership we were visiting. I had to do a double take. I had the same thought - why did they make it look so good if they weren’t going to back it up?

DISAGREE.

I had the same thought. It seems in decent shape and it would cost you way more if you wanted to “build” your own. I don’t have a use for it - but then I don’t have a use for any stretched limo variation. That doesn’t mean there is not a use. I do wonder how people get in the back seat.

Very funny, troll. We all watch Top Gear.

Is that how that woman backed into his 73 911 RSR? Leno drives his as much as he can - but most of them sit 9% of the time. When you own a big collection of cars, what are you going to do?

Very good write up - but the question is “coolest Collector” not “Coolest Collection”. Of the guy you mention, who do you think is the coolest? I personally find the fashion industry useless and insane and Ralph Lauren seems to embody that completely. I agree his collection is awesome (though I would not vote it…

Ha, I immediately thought “collectors I would hang out with” cause that’s obviously the end all of being cool. Of course, that made me not think about dead guys. Even if McQueen wasn’t a collector in the traditional sense, his massive cool makes up for a lot. I’d still rank him number 2 behind Leno, though.

Came here to agree with whoever got this in first. Every time you see him, it’s plain he is a car guy. For all the right reasons, as well. He’s like the Tim Brown of car guys - second place is so far behind it might as well be another category.
