No, there are just unenlightened pockets in some states that happen to hold unnecessarily high weight in elections... because of an ongoing campaign of Republican gerrymandering and voter suppression.

And the funny thing about that is the car pictured above was about 85-90% mechanically identical to a Fox body Mustang of the era.

Jaffa. Kree.

Clearly some expenses were spared when InGen built this second generation park...

Which ironically enough is another piece of Crichton IP.

“Baboo!”

These movie writers spent so much time trying to figure out if they could, they never stopped to think about whether or not they should.

BioSyn.

IIRC the book does establish a scientist who was Hammond’s partner early in the InGen cloning venture. I think the book mentions that he died of cancer or something years before the park is built, though.

Which was recycled for The Lost World film to kill off another character.

Read it. Just make sure you’re on the shore, not in the kayak, when you get to the waterfall scene...

Baby boomers like yourself had the major benefit of higher wages relative to the cost of living. That’s not relevant in this century. So spare us the pep talk about how we should “just save up more money”.

True, and not a secret. Just like with arranging financing for the customer from a bank, the dealer is normally able to add up to 2% APR over the buy rate.

You just keep on believing that, you special snowflake.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t understand at all how leases are calculated. The selling price of the car is all that’s actually negotiable by a customer. The residual and money factor are decided for you by the bank/manufacturer, and taxes/fees are set by the local government.

You don’t. Residual on a lease is determined by the manufacturer’s lease/finance arm and is not negotiable.

No joke, that plate belonged to my friend when he lived in Green Bay breifly. The neighbors were unsurprisingly not too thrilled.

Here are some easy telltales to try looking for: Black eggcrate grille insert (Police Interceptor SUV) vs three horizontal black bars (Explorer Sport), HID Xenon headlamps (Sport) vs normal halogens (PI), lower bumper holding LED running lights/foglamps (Sport) vs black plastic delete panels (PI), and lengthwise roof…

Blade-Wing is the canon explanation for it’s name.

What advantages does this wool motorcar interior have over, say, a train? Which I can also afford.
