Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean. 5,000 lbs for a sports coupe is just unnecessary. 

Additionally, A City on Mars by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith is another excellent, well-researched look at what it will take to get any kind of extended human existence off of this planet.

And terrifying complexity.  An AMG is scary enough as-is; hand built motor, expensive parts, etc...  now you want me to trust a PHEV performance one with a super-high-strung I4 instead of a somewhat lazier V8?  Uh....  No?

This was in my town, I think it’s hilarious

Yeah, this is gonna end well.

The privateer space company was fined more than $630,000

Unfortunately.

Artemis had a single flight... that did not explode at all and went to the Moon and came back without showering any portion of the earth with debris. Development on Starship started in 2012.

That’s happening now actually, with the Macan. The all-electric Macan, and Porsche even admits that jumping on electrification when most consumers want a gas car was a mistake.

I think legacy car manufacturers got too forward thinking, leaning into selling products that have the potential to meet a future need, that…

I just hope that whenever SpaceX’s carelessness and the incoming administration’s disregard for safety regulations eventually results in an accident that cost people their lives, Elon is on the rocket.

Well, there’s always Boeing...

I am a perfect example of those who turned away from the C63. In early 2022 I started shop to replace a 2017 M3. I had some great experiences driving a C63-S and it was what I wanted. For a month and a half the salesman at MB waffled and weaved and then finally admitted he could not get it for me and that production…

And also takes credit for shit Nasa did successfully 50 years ago already.

“Unscheduled disassembly” is the “conscious uncoupling” of sad nerds.

Siri, show me a metaphor for 2025.
