The last recession was bad. Really bad. I had just purchased my business and we lost about 30% of sales. We didn’t fold, but we came very very close. I worked on half my pay for about 4 years.

That’s a truly fascinating question. Really. Do some very unlucky secret service agents have to serve the rest of their careers in a Fed minimum security prison?

An independent network of charging stations, free to charge any car that shows up, located in sensible places according to demand, and charging market prices....Why does that sound familiar to me?

This is kind of cool and amusing. But it’s a self selective data set. IE, people with expensive fast cars aren’t shopping for insurance on some third party website. These are all cars that younger guys tend to drive. 

Effing Boomers.

Sort of...it really depends on the sport. The very best swimmers, hockey players, LAX bros, etc-are just the very best that were born in circumstances that allowed them to play.

That’s cool and all-but what are the actual numbers there? The M2 comp is a sub model of the M2-which is already a low volume model. I suspect we’re dealing with very small numbers. Nonetheless-it’s great that people are buying them. And an M2 with a manual sure as hell looks like a joy to drive. 

Hot take-there are actually very very few racers.

Then it’d be me watching over the editors shoulders. Nobody wants that.

You’ve really done good work here. Carry on.

That would be perfect if they were remaining at the Staples center. 

Anyone who has ever been a, or spent significant time around, a bodybuilder isn’t even a little bit surprised at this.

I mean, generally, I’d agree with you-but these Taco Bell names are amazing. Like, I wish we could we rename our dogs.

I came very close to buying a W8 Passat when they were new. That car was very underwhelming for the price. It was just so stinking nose heavy-all that power and it wasn’t really any fun. 

I just want to brag about a friend, who has to be one of the only humans to ever own 2 TWO Tauregs.

You can do this one better. After the shells are baked, I put cheese (and refried beans if we have any) and nuke each set for 1o seconds. The cheese melts and the shell gets just a touch softer from the microwave-but stays crispy enough to still taste good. 

I just looked at the picture, thought of Vanilla Ice and that was it. I can’t believe they built this thing in 2003-seems more like it should have been a ‘93. 

Nooooo....

I regret I have but one star to give you. For this above all else:

Currency devaluation generally helps exporters. It’s the importers that will hurt the most.
