^^^THIS.  Once it’s made national news that he ISNT running SpaceX, he’s about to reinsert himself big-time into the company to prove that he, in fact, does.  He’s going to drop the price of rockets by 20%, fire 10% of the employees, and carry a kitchen sink into SX HQ and throw it at the nice desk lady.

I’m with you on big and slow, but safe? A lot of advances have been made in safety in the last 43 years, and this thing will handle like a pig, even worse so in inexperienced/overconfident hands. I wouldn’t put my teenager in one unless I didn’t care about them very much.

The upholstery and coach roof says it’s a Brougham.

I miss Speedvision almost as badly as I miss Discovery Wings.

And if we had a nickel for every person who listened to Nickelback, bought an album, and/or went to one of their concerts only to swear the band is terrible after it got fashionable to.say so, we would be living in hilltop houses driving 15 cars.

Racing things not meant to be raced seems to always lead to hilarious, satisfying spectacle. I’d love to see one of these. 

Whenever I think of EVs making simulated performance engine noises I just think of kids playing with toy cars and making revving sounds. Basically the same thing.

Right there with you. My 289 isn’t a K-code but sounds OK with the duals. Better than some fake electronic sound track.

Smart Fortwo*

Nice Sleuthing!! that price seems more reasonable to me.

He’s not wrong, though.

You make an excellent point.  Go to the incredible (yet correct) trouble of decreasing the engine’s compression before slapping on the supercharger?  Yes, I doubt it 100% also.

This car sold on BAT two weeks ago for $17.5k

My least favorite car on NPOND: the high-end Germanmobile that’s got some years on it—one of those cars where if something goes kerblooey, your credit card is gonna melt from the swiping it’ll take to fix it.

Zero already exists. Just buy one of those. They’re great. 

This is extraordinarily stupid.

From a seasoned Masshole that lives in “Western Mass”, here’s how you do Boston traffic.

I’ve done it a few times and found that the best way to handle that town is to just go absolutely feral and start driving like the locals.

If I lay off everyone, I won’t have to pay any salaries at all.

I am almost positive that I board on the left because that is where the door is. I tried boarding from the right once. And there is no way for me to get in. Not to mention that there is no ladder or gangway. The windows dont open. I mean I guess I could climb in through the cock pit window but I still have to get up…
