From what I see the average person in the USA with a car loan is paying $479 every month. They never own a car, they just rent ‘em - because they never stop paying.

They are beautiful, but they’d better be at around $650 for one, including a controller.

Problem is the power cables running through the car. See that c-pillar cut point sticker? There’s a power cable running through that pillar and, supposedly, there’s a ‘safe’ place to cut. Unfortunately, the sticker was not informative and was hidden. What that tells us is that there’s other places where it is…

Because from the front the car looks OLD.

This story does not exist in isolation. This story has context and motivation. But I am sure that you already know and understand this but find it convenient, at this moment, to pretend otherwise.

Why buy that which should be scrapped?

Perhaps a dose of jealousy on the part of those who are unable to do what grid girls, models, promotions girls et al. can do?

Nothing is worth anything more than what somebody else is willing to pay for it.

I have watched this movie - before I knew it was a thing.

None of your hours are wasted because, thankfully, you have the gift of free will.

I used to own a 760 GLE. I bought from a company that did exactly what you said. They didn’t sell them for lots of money though. I bought an immaculate looking and driving car. Drove it in the UK and then to Finland where I kept it for about 5 years. Great car. Some things didn’t work quite right but nothing ever…

And yet, so many angry words all serving to confirm the point I already made.

You do seem rather upset, don’t you. :)

The designer of the Volvo truck’s brakes and emergency stop systems were the heroes. :)

At the right time one simply gets a bollock lift. Simple surgery to remove excess skin and leave one with the scrotal development of a teenager - albeit with hair, grey hair.

How do you know that the members that bother you so much are useless?

Yeah, I posted and then read all of them.

You may not like the Plastic Pig but it was hardly a failure. Various versions were sold over several decades and they were a common sight on British roads.

Many years ago I used to sell home electronics. My thing was video and TV. If a punter rolled up and pointed out something from a ‘Which’ review (UK equivalent to Consumer Report) then I’d expect to be familiar with the review. That’s the job. Getting into arguments? Did you enjoy throwing money away?

I don’t think it is trivialising anything. 10k hours is a lot of time and a large commitment and, unless one is extremely fortunate, acquiring expertise in most areas of life takes a significant commitment to that success but since I came upon the idea a few years back it rather changed the way in which I look at what…
