First thought was “horse jockey”

It would have been really great if VAG (pre-dieselgate financial loss) took controlling interest in Ferrari... imagine Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Ferrari under one roof.

Only need $5.2 billion to take control at 50.5%. Everything not owned by Piero or the Elkanns would cost $5.33 billion.

No. That’s the market cap figure which is calculated based on all shares extrapolated by the shares that currently are on sale. The company’s value is $10.39B — 80% held by FCA, 10% by Piero, 10% by other shareholders.

Yes, please

I don’t let my mom (or dad) drive in LA. It’s different enough from driving in the Midwest where they’re from. Driving in another country — fuck no.

I keep re-watching this, but didn’t the driver actually swerve in front of the motorcyclist? It looks like the car driver saw what the motorcyclist was planning to do and then swerved into the lane verses hitting the cyclist from the side. Or maybe this perspective is just screwing with me.

Because it might not breakdown all the time or cost you a ton in maintenance.

Seeing as Humpty Dumpty was written about a cannon (true story!), you may be closer than you think in another way.

That’s soon to be California too.

“Though in all honesty, if you own a 100k Tesla, are you really going to be parking it where you’re going to get into a situation where other cars opening doors will damage your car?”

Isn’t that more related to when they were “sharing” parts with Ford?

Except the Italian Walter de Silva is the current head of design of VW since 2007. We also had Italian Bruno Sacco as the long running designer for MB from ‘75-’99, American J Mays who started and led Audi’s design strategy from ‘84-’97, and American Chris Bangle over at BMW from ‘92-’09. The MB 280 Gullwing was not…

The thing about standard doors is you don’t have to open them completely to squeeze out. If there’s an obstruction that prevents this falcon door from operating, the rear passengers are trapped (more likely, you’d have to back out, let the rear passengers out, and then pull back into the space.) The other things is…

Aluminium Space Frame =/= full body

Why don’t they just go to buttons? There’s no point to this.

Los Angeles. Of course.

This is not the nicer set. It has brushed aluminum on the outside verses stainless steel so the tri-ply is actually stainless interior, aluminium core, aluminum outside which is why it is cheaper. Also, the lids aren’t made in the US anymore.

Riding the wrong way on the street? This isn’t “that kind of treatment” — this is asshole behaviour by the bicyclist.
