how do you say, “you mad bro?” in German :]

It would seem to me that from the ship, it’s hard to say what is at the bottom of the ocean. If you are in a zone that is designated to drop your anchor, why would you second guess it?

Agreed - They were told they could drop anchor, so they did.

There’s even one for sale in Doug’s general vicinity...

I saw a BMW with its turn signal on once.

Like a flower loosing its pedals, Mclaren is a ray of sunshine in the dark rainy nights of Toronto.

I know. They are just facelifting the Boxster/Cayman. Why change the whole name. But like Wild Weasel said, it may be a name change, not a chassis code change.

Oh, so you think it will be part of the name, not the chassis code? That actually does make more sense, kinda.

The really strange bit is that because of structural advantages of running a big taxi operation, the taxi companies should be able to beat Uber on price/quality since their costs should be lower.

I agree with you. It’s a strange situation to try and pick a side on.

The funny thing is, I live in Toronto and the only time I have ever used Uber, the driver that picked me up was *I shit you not* an off duty Beck Taxi driver who literally picked me up in his cab after assuring me he was my Uber driver. I guess you can deal with it by hanging off the window of a honda, or you can make…

The reality is that cab companies, on the whole, follow regulations that have been constructed over decades. Uber-defenders try to paint these regulations as protectionism for taxi companies, designed and lobbied for by the industry, but these regulations are in place primarily to benefit riders and make taxiing a…

To a certain extent, it does feel like their energy is being misdirected. They’re angry because their customers are choosing Uber over cabs in greater and greater numbers, and instead of asking themselves how they can make their cab service more attractive than Uber to win back business, their answer is to just ban…

AND - they currently share taillights, headlights, motors (a tune is the horsepower differentiator) and all interior.

Bingo. They’re going with 4cyl turbos for environmental regulatory reasons, but they’re using slight of hand by conjuring the racing heritage of the 718 4cyl.

How are they hard to tell apart? One has a fixed roof and the other doesnt. That doesn’t make sense.

That ragtop convertible and hardtop coupe sure are hard to tell apart.

Sorry, my sarcasm meter is all broken today. But are you saying the giant company that makes a 918 is ripping off a small kit car maker, who has a product called the 818, with a product called the 718?

Ford Model T or frankly anything that doesn’t use what we commonly think of as modern controls. But yea, Model T is a definite win. Came in to say that myself but figured someone would have already listed it. Wasn’t disappointed.

This is perfect. He can do similar things as the Hummer and skyline. Dyno, drag-strip, race track, carmax valuation, drive through, best buy/home depot runs and new stuff where he talks about all of the things we take for granted in modern vehicles. Plus, it’s cheap enough he could still do another car; a Model T and…
