Whoops! You’re right.

+ 1 for the CA UCLA plate. I read once that it’s the least requested plate the DMV has - they came close to killing it off once, apparently. 

If I see a VT license plate, I just assume that someone’s playing residency games with a sham LLC.

I’m by no means implying that he’s not an incredibly talented driver etc - but it’s not much of a negotiating strategy to say I’m going to go to Red Bull or whatever. Mercedes’ car is so dominant that they’d kick ass with several other drivers. Is Bottas really the second best driver on the grid? I don’t think so. 

Nothing but a contract negotiation tactic. It’s not like the guy can play other teams off of Mercedes (“Give me what I want or I’ll go to Hass!”? Fat chance), so all he can do is threaten to leave F1 all together. 

Doesn’t seem like a great idea. 

Ah, yes, the environmentalists and Amnesty Int’l. Two groups whose opinions F1 fans surely care about tremendously.

Hell yeah. I thought I was the only one. I’ll kick in $50 for the Jalopnik RTS timeshare!

Using the buyer’s $350,000 in equity as his down payment, the monthly lease on this Chiron for a 24-month program is still a staggering $65,950 per month, including all tax and fees for his location. He points out that the tax alone is around $4,000 per month. This works out to a total lease cost of $1,932,800. So he…

best job in the world

Do the manufacturers produce all cars, where ever sold, to CARB standards?

Someone needs to get elected to Congress and pass a “Land Cruiser Exemption” law to get this thing street legal in the United States. 

Thank you! Likewise. 

So I’ve heard - I’ve been following along. I’m still expecting it to blow up in everyone’s face, to be honest, but... Hopefully that doesn’t happen and you’re not left high and dry.

Under normal circumstances, a “good luck” would suffice, but considering the utter disaster that is going on with the bar this year (and how badly BOLE in particular is handling things), I feel for you. Fingers crossed the tech works!

Hah. I’m recalling a grease fire or two on the stove after using the same griddle for an entire weekend to cook nothing but bacon and sausages... Good times. 

*sigh*

I must’ve missed something. The hell is this “no dice”?

Yup. If I wanted to make a quick buck with some PE capital I sure as hell wouldn’t spend it on an F1 team. 

He can get this and skip the whole “buying a house” thing.
