nope.  Of course with toyota being the largest car company in the world on any given day - we could all only wish to fail so good.

Unlike the Us - China is investing massively in EV transport. The reason is straightforward - their air quality is hazardous. They are also the largest car market in the world. It all seems like a good bet.

Just for context: There are over 26000 car fires in the US annually.

Ha ha - dry humor is always appreciated. “People Before Profits” is the airlines’ motto!! Touché

where did all the windows go?

Well having professional standards is a good thing - or can I fly a 747? You better hope not. But sure - I use “free market” with a dry tongue in cheek. It’s really just a phrase the wealthy pull out of their sphinctal area when their wealth accumulation is perceived as being threatened or at least the rate of growt…

This is a BMW metephore?

Some like to call it the free market.

...and i won’t destroy my cell phone and lie about everything until whether I did t or not I deserve some sort of punishment because I’m the best at what I do, handsome, beeoootiful wife, dimples, and it’s still NOT ENOUGH...  Screw brady.  Good scene though..

Koenigsegg bought Saab - I think - so we’ll see. This is a proprietary system designed by Koenigsegg. To be honest I don’t like engines runnng at optimized rpm because optimized means steady state, and that’s sort of boring - read cvt. But some compromise could be made - I mean if you’re at 1400 hp there’s some syba…

haha - well this wasn’t faith so much as an empirical observation in a very controlled environment. I don’t draw too many conclusions from it.

I was on a 17 hour flight to South Africa and it was surprisingly OK.  I think people behave better because they all know, at some level, that we’re all in it together.  If people act well the rest falls into place.

The plane was made based on the political process that underlies the military industrial establishment. In short, patranage over sensible manufacturing techniques. Up until that point boeing had made some of the greatest planes in the world.

He’s a hypocrite because he’s vegan and drives snazzy cars? Are the cars made of meat? Are they meat cars? Expiring mimes want to know!!

The militery industrial establishment is an economy unto itself. Theoretically it is under government control and can produce whatever the government orders. In reality it a social welfare and patronage program which is why it produces broken things or substandard things, or sometimes well done things that could…

Seriously - try the civic sport hatch - just try it. Pleeeze.

You can pick up a very nice zero for about $8,000 and probably less with rebates.

Maybe we could by some and save a few bucks.

All are required to wear medallions on half unzipped race suits, and during pitstops the drivers do a small bump of coke to perk themselves up for the next stint.  when you run out of despot run countries for races, Florida is a good bench warmer.

Of course abandoning your allies who lost 11,000 fighters in the fight against ISIS (that rose due to our invasion of Iraq ), to be sluaghtered is also a consideration.
