I feel like if we keep talking about this will totally come to an agreement and not argue circularly forever.

buying a laferrari is perhaps the biggest rolling middle finger to the working class There is. Amazing car, I’m glad it exists, but if you buy one you invite the ire imo. Your political views may vary.

I would rather have a well handling communicative fast car. Where is that one? 🤔

“Thank you all for coming to this all-hands meeting on such short notice. Effective immediately there is an emergency salary freeze until we raise enough revenue to save my Ferrari. Unfortunately, these are the just the realities of business, and nothing can be done. And remember that YOU are why make this company…

“Lol” at the end of a statement is shorthand for “i have nothing to back up my assertion, but I am confident anyway and would like to berate you for challenging my baseless opinions. Also I am a douche.”

Same way you get access to everyone’s internet history. Money!

Commuting in a r53 mini convertible every day and I am NEVER the most interesting car in my commute. My one building alone has a gen 1 Bronco, 2002, 993 carrera and a v70r. West LA is perhaps the most jalop place on the planet!

This exact event was 70 per person. But I think this is more than normal because “monster truck Super Bowl”

We went as a bit of a joke, but oh my god what an experience!

I agree with all of this except the part that the brz was 100% successful at being a fun low speed sports car. That torque hole really sucks the fun out of mid-corner throttle steering. It was bad enough that in an otherwise brilliant test drive i passed on it.

... right and then it’s also higher cg, fwd, front heavy, and has an extra 500lbs to lug around which negates even the straight line advantage it might have had.

Yeah also living in New York with a family at all is an ENORMOUS luxury. What do they think everyone else with kids moves out to cheaper, shittier outskirts and commutes for 4 hours a day because they WANT to?

Would one of those 40 be an M2 hatch or cab? 😗

So when “everyone is working for the weekend”, does that mean that everyone is working on the weekdays in preparation for a rad weekend, or that everyone is working ON the weekend, and therefore it is not a rad weekend after all?

Haha sorry my mistake 😆

Yeah your friends will never EVER admit to being wrong about this. That would take a rational, self reflective attitude. Which of course you had to have already thrown in the garbage to vote for him in the first place.

There IS a fastback Miata. It’s called the brz.

Good point! Suppose I’m too deep down the third party rabbit hole, and forgot that there are in fact some first party tuner parts available a la carte to the general public.

Oh for sure. The modding scene won’t be too far off from how it is now with petrol cars, right? Even now it’s all parts/kit swapping and ecu modding, and none of it encouraged by either the govt or the manufacturers.

Imagine tinkering with an Arduino with 1000hp worth of electric motor attached. That’s pretty much exactly what the future of diy will be.
