My question is, do they spec it in inches? I thought Europe was so much more better than us for using the metric system...

“And why would someone deliberately buy assets with the intent from the outset of losing money with depreciation?”

Huh. Your reading comprehension and logic says a lot about you. I’ve spent more time chewing dirt in the twin cities than you, I bet. My point was a comparison between MPLS and STP. Yours was... to get a rise from someone. 

“If you’re buying cars with the intention of replacing them every five years, then you’re already an idiot.”

You know how MMA fighters say “I’m living in your head rent free”?

Wldcard: buying an ICE car now isn’t the best move. When you sell in 5 years, you’ll be faced with a brand new ICE depreciation curve we never experienced before... That of an older technology which fewer and fewer people will want.

St. Paul scares me more than MPLS. I spend a lot of time in both for my job. There are so many awfully maintained neighborhoods. I’d rather work in North MPLS than some of the weirdly threatening side streets in St Paul. I get the feeling that if shit starts to erupt in St Paul, it will get worse.

Sorry to say, without China’s cooperation this will never be answered. Conclusions require a high degree of confidence (P value). Until that’s locked down, all we have are theories. 

“At a Middling Pace”

If you like that kind of experience, have you watched the long version of The Killing of a Chinese Bookie?

But Darth Vader can slaughter millions?

Yeah, this color combo is too somber. Also... Is a manual transmission wasted on this? I think I’d rather just have the auto for easy cruising. I’m not going to wring out this floppy open top car anyway. I'd get this to pretend I'm Ben Gazzara and just cruise the back roads of the town I own. 

Damn... can you imagine getting autographs at one of these??? You could get some BIG autographs without huge crowds. 

Another improvement this GREAT little series could make, is one more funny/casual voice in the room. Danica was great. Add even more fun/color and maybe even bring beer into the broadcast booth.

You NEED a committee to successfully neuter music like this. Fewer people and you might make the mistake of creating art. 

The authors WANT us leaving a shit ton of comments, fighting, and hating each other. That’s attention extraction, and how they make their money. 

“Those crotch-rocket nutbags are all over the place around here (Chicago)“

I saw this. It’s fucking rad.

I did exterior work for a Jag service manager last summer. I wore a mask in 90 degree heat for 2 hours, schlepping up and down ladders and bending and crawling. This guy shows up, no mask. We get to talking about cars and he says the guys in the shop are too hot, the job is too physical to wear masks.

Too much button-pushing at the climax. Also, the lone well-lit ladder was almost comic.
