Yeah, that's a totally fair comparison because doctors aren't good for anything apart from threatening to kill people. Oh, and all we have to do is keep the 99.7% of good guns whilst getting rid of the 0.3% bad guns that kill people.

I'm all in favour of reducing poisoning deaths. Just because lots of people die of…

It's worth reading studies like this or this.

Only if you look at the raw numbers and take nothing else into account. If you eliminate the motorcycle fatalities that are either under the influence of alcohol or have clear evidence the motorcycle was traveling in excess of 10mph above the posted speed limit (these combined cover nearly two thirds of all motorcycle…

Forget about the swoopy red racing machines. Why can't we have more cars like this? Why?

Not many people realise that the Rover 75 was named for the median age of their target demographic.

That's a Bedford MK! Probably some British expedition-tourism outfit.

They're still overpriced. In the UK, £2k will get you a competent 1990s Japanese 4x4 which is ready to rock and roll; or it will get you a 1980s Land Rover whose key features are "Needs more welding" and "pretty close to passing the MOT".

Nope. Landies are always expensive, of course, but $20k is just a joke.

Hooray for globalisation!

Awesome post. Good work.

That really is a great video. So retro that it hurts, but it's everything that's best about DTM.

Ahh, but Ford didn't deny plans to release a new P100. So we're definitely going to get a new P100, then.

Just more badge-engineering from Iveco.

Van Tuyls brings in about $9 billion in sales.

So Buffet is literally taking generations-old family owned businesses and buying them into a corporation that is part of a massive conglomerate.

ABC = Active Body Control. It's a hydraulic suspension system (although the car still has springs). When ABC works, it's wonderful - like riding a cloud. It can actively compensate roll in corners. However, it's not the most reliable thing that Mercedes ever made; and parts are expensive, good mechanics are scarce,…

A cheap car with ABC is actually the most expensive car you'll ever buy.

I had the CL of the same year. She was so beautiful, I fell in love with her without even thinking of what it would actually be like to live with her. Running costs - particularly ABC - broke my heart.
