Trump’s enshitification of the soon to be defunct United States of America continues. I can’t wait to one day wake up to read his obituary.

We, as a country, re-elected this asshole knowing full well this was going to happen; therefore, we as a country are getting exactly what we asked for.

What I don’t get, is what are republicans trying to achieve through tariffs in the end? Or any of their current policies? As cruel as they are, I don’t believe they are actually stupid enough not to see the long-term cultural and economic damages. They must have hard cold calculation not only to offset the damages, be…

This is so fucking stupid. All of it.

Nice. How about a ‘59 Cadillac convertible.

“He tried to leave America a little better than he found it. He attempted to warn Americans about the challenges we’d face over the next five decades. Our own legacy shows we were completely unwilling to heed those warnings.”

I never voted for Jimmy Carter, but I have nothing but respect for his legacy.

The moon was closer back then.

But if it still goes through the dealer, doesn’t allow price negotiation, still allows dealer markup, and you still have work with a dealer to get the car, what’s the point? Seems like yet another middle-man between me and the thing I’m buying, taking a few more dollars out of my pocket.

I distinctly remember pull tab soda as a young kid, you would pull the tab off and drop it in the can lol.

And? What’s your point? That we shouldn’t attempt to improve anything even a little bit because we can’t make everything perfect?

The most shocking part of this story is the cops getting it right.

Counterpoint: the show sucked, like everything else on Motor Trend these days. Texas Metal, anyone?

I’m sadly limited in my track experience. The only car driven semi-aggressively on a track was a Saab 92x (WRX) with a decent bit of modifications pushing something like 275 hp at the wheels during an open track day at Lime Rock back when that was all very different. And I’m not embarrassed to admit that it felt like…

Bradley, I agree with your assessment and Hamilton’s. If I had the choice between a stable of Hyper cars that have impressive stats, or a car that truly moves my soul, I am going with the latter option and selecting the most beautiful car ever made:

“...EMERGENCY RELEASE LATCHES FOR THE MODEL Y’s REAR DOORS ARE HIDDEN BENEATH A MAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR POCKET. ONCE THAT’S REMOVED, A RED TAB OPENS AN ACCESS HATCH THAT REVEALS AN EMERGENCY RELEASE CABLE...!”

The last words your fast-googling friend will scream in the seconds between the crash and you all burning…

My man is right. All of the new hypercars are essentially the same. The Artura and 296GTB... same car. The F80 and W1... same car. Revuelto and Aventador... same car. There is no soul or uniqueness to these new cars. Perhaps that is why the depreciation of so terrible on a lot of these newer car ala SF90. To answer…

The warrior-poet Nas once said, “Sleep is the cousin of Death.”

$30,000 in damage to save a $20 Etsy necklace! Huzzah!

Or more likely, you drive like an asshole. <shrug>
