Well, I am sure that’s in KPH - so with the aforementioned downhill and strong tailwind, you might actually get to peg it.

I was surprised to find two 535Xi’s for a lot less with similar miles. Had many of the same packages (and one looks so clean in the pictures, I thought at first they had cheated and kept them from new sales images). Only difference was the manual. Now, I love driving manual - in my sports cars. In my daily, long…

Indeed, I mentioned owning my Cayman once (joking that I wouldn’t drag race a V6 Camry for fear of losing) and was scolded for “humble bragging”. I talked about owning a sports car - on a car blog site! It’s quite ridiculous. Too many people exist in their own tiny universe.

Yeah, I was in this camp as well. Talk about expanding production capacities, battery tech and typical Musk over-promising (I enjoy that about him, but he does sell things very big). I see some people saying it was supposed to be more, but I think those details came about once they had added up all the things he…

I agree with you - but you are fighting a losing battle. Some people love to play The Mentalist with these ads. My favorite is crazy judgements on the car based on random things in the background. “There is a Dokken poster in the garage, he obviously doesn’t change his oil. CP.” Not actual quote - but a hyperbole…

I didn’t see in my perusal of the comments - but wasn’t the argument about procreation the whole crux of the California appeal that got struck down at the same time as DOMA? Maybe instead of trying to bring this up again, he can read the transcripts and opinions from that and realize it’s been decided.

No clue. Any small interest I had was lost after driving it. I assume it had some sort of truck frame basis since the middle of it was all sort of comprised by having to have space for the top to go into when it was open. Granted, the top was cool and it looked pretty clean as a convertible - and I understand there is…

I drove one way back when they introduced them at an event GM sponsored. Basically a little autocross. Drove it back to back against a Z06 actually. It was TERRIBLE! Do not want. They had set it up stiff, trying to get some semblance of handling into it’s truck based chassis and 4000 lbs. But it just maybe it skip and…

That’s a new one for me. Pretty interesting. How do you even pretend to not be an evil organization when you make something called a “death’s head ring”?

I was very civil to you. Don’t call me names.

Do you think it’s possible - just maybe, that the commenter who got the hat tip might have seen it while shopping craigslist and forwarded to graverobber? And maybe neither of them saw it on BaT? And even if they did see it on BaT - is there a reason they should mention that?

Is it some sort of new SS symbol? It doesn’t look like any Nazi iconography I know of - but I haven’t really followed that lately.

It’s more the principle. I’d say I was risking harm to help uphold the world where people don’t get to walk around and destroy other people’s property. A society where we all look out for each other. I’d rather not go down the slope of “is that crime enough for me to get involved?” I’d rather say “I did the right…

Ha! But serisously, middle of the day and a bunch of suits walk by and look at the dude scratching up someone’s Porsche and do nothing? Maybe it’s cause I own one - but I would’ve been “detaining” that punk till the authorities came to ask why he’s dragging a rock across someone else’s car.

Really? You can look at that dude, with his vapid expression and his giant beer and think he was somehow not just a random vandal? Pissed because someone has something nice? If you ever get to the point of owning expensive things, you’ll find that people get mad at you for that - and will break you things because they…

I know Ford has them all over the place (and do change colors in mine). I think Mazda and Scion have them. And it might be limited to certian models or options as well. But they are around.

He’s not arguing that the product is bad - he’s saying they are still fighting the perception that it’s not as good. And I agree that you can’t build more expensive products to bring customers back. I drove a V. Nice, but I wasn’t blown away. And the problem is when I looked at a non-V CTS, I was amazed how much they…

I think I get what you mean but in the car business (I am not sure about other industries), per car profit is big deal. The companies prefer to sell the more expensive cars they make since they carry a higher profit per unit. While it seems like making more small cars at a lower profit would be just as successful,…

Are you saying if you were in control of a company and people were willing to pay more for your product (because it was desirable to them - not because of some sort of necessity like plywood during a hurricane) and you were making a higher profit margin, you would decline and sell your product for less? Really? Why…
