Tom - where are you getting 12lbs/hp???

One of our suppliers, “Company A”, invited me out to their Salt Lake City location for a plant tour - followed by a few days of skiing. I wanted to go but company policy required me to turn it down simply because it could appear unethical

You are correct, the I is for “Intermediate”. As far as I know this pattern was only found on cars with the Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission, which was an RR-specific version of the THM400

What’s 40,000 pounds in kilo-grahams?

No manual, no care

What exactly is new about this? Dymag has been making carbon hybrid wheels since 2004

1st: Fuck everything about this. More inattentive drivers in even bigger heavier cars is the last thing we need

Appropriate for the market, which means CP

Better interior, better handling, safer, better tech, better fuel economy, rubber parts that are still flexible and able to seal, and all with a full warranty. Plus the Elantra will be worth a lot more than $2500 after you put 20k miles on it

Life Hack:

My friend went through something very similar when his newborn son needed $80k heart surgery. Eventually he found the right person to talk to at the hospital. After showing her proof that he paid his part and insurance should have been paying the rest, she offered him the hospital’s lawyers to go after the insurance…

“This is a great car and I was thinking about buying one, but it just looks too much like every other McLaren”

I would prefer a good water repellent cloth

I do miss my ‘97 5-speed LX sedan but I wouldn’t pay $7500 for this unless EVERYTHING has been thoroughly inspected and there is no rust under the car. I sold my ‘95 (also a 5-speed LX sedan) a couple years ago, running well but with no A/C and moderate but non-structural rust, for $50

...will also be a getting...

I’m not even going to start thinking about this because I don’t want to see how long the list is

Early iDrive was shit

There should be one master black list for anyone who flips anything of significant value without actually adding any value. Then other companies and individuals could refuse to do business with them and maybe, just maybe, we could hurt their bottom line enough/peer pressure them enough to stop being complete worthless…

Went to Cozumel with my wife for the triathlon world championships. Booked a full size since we were going to have a race bike in a rather large hard case - on top of two large suitcases and two backpacks (race gear plus two weeks’ worth of luggage)
