He net worth is only based on him owning a quarter the shares of the company. Depending on what happens with those shares, his net worth could be significantly reduced by the end of the day. With 91.6 million shares, his net worth as of 10:40 CDT is about $2.5 Billion.

Continental does have some mountain bike tires with very Germanic names (Der Kaiser and Der Baron). Whether those are offensive to some, I don’t know.

Agreed! I returned to MTBing in 2018 and started back with a second hand Trek hardtail from 2003 for about $100. It was ok but after a few months I decided I was going to stick with it so I bought a new bike (Canyon Spectral) and the first ride out on the new bike was eye opening.

Same. Let’s get a written copy, please. 

That seems to be a typo. If you look at the linked article, it states the size of the loan was $30 Million.

Straight up bro dozer with high miles. Yea...no. CP all day!

Reminds me of my ‘92 EG hatch. I loved that car and spend many weekends and nights wrenching on it. It was the first car that I engine swapped. I got a JDM D15B VTEC and an SI tranny to put in that sucker. Loved that car. 

I’m currently looking for a truck but I was looking at one before the pandemic. Deals now just make that decision much easier. I do industrial electronic/electrical service work and I currently use a VW Passat as my service vehicle since most of the times, we don’t need to haul anything (only hand tools).

Refocusing your business model to concentrate on people who are becoming to old to ride motorcycles is not viable. Sounds like nostalgia is going to ruin their company. Too bad.

I occasionally cycle in a state park where the speed limit is 25 mph. Saw a single-car accident where the vehicle ended up on it’s roof. Come on man!

Your graph is indicative of most electric motors (AC or DC). Electric motors typically have a base speed and then an extended speed. In an AC motor, the base speed is based on the frequency that the motor is designed for (60 HZ for most standard AC motors) and the number of poles in the motor. In a DC motor, it’s…

My first vehicle was an ‘89 Chevy 1500 WT. It didn’t even have a radio when I got it. It was equipped with the 4.3L V6, 5-speed manual, 2WD, single cab (with bench seat), and a long bed. I nicknamed it the silver bullet. Great truck! The shifting was buttery smooth. It even jumped well!

More like 75% of an M5 for 125% of the price of one.

Computers are programmed by humans, so technically, if an AV were to swerve an hit another car then it would still be a human’s fault.

Look, I’ll be the first to admit that I think the Jeep Gladiator is abhorrent.

The other issue here is that this is only a temporary set up as far as run time because the vehicle cannot charge the battery bank fast enough to keep it running continuously. He claims that he’s running the lights off of a bank of 6-cell LiPO batteries, which would make the system voltage 22.5 volts, or thereabouts.

I’m guessing they won’t take out batteries. They will just alter the programming to use them differently. They’ll be able to make more power since the lap times are significantly shorter than the nord. 

Right? Who doesn’t want their own theme music? 

Looks to be. I have a high school friend whose grandparents had one in their house. It was super trick because a bookcase was the door to the safe. His grandfather collected WWII weapons, mostly. 

Assuming this frunk is weather tight, this would be perfect for contractors. I carry tools in my vehicle now for work and I’d love to be able to free up space in the bed by utilizing a frunk for tool storage.
