Reverse: have you ever seen these biplanes in person? Took balls of steel to fly one of those death traps.

Tears For Lower-Tiered Startups

HA! My plan to rollback the cafes doesn’t look so crazy now does it?

1st Gear: Cheap gasoline is #1 problem facing America

If we’re pinning our hopes on a man who routinely says, “We’re gonna do infrastructure” then we are in real trouble.

Raptor bronco with a manual could get me to sell a kidney or two on the black market.

Hemp company? A sales company consisting entirely of professors from Vermont? Lilith Fair Roadies?

I’m always intrigued by these calls to open the Japanese market to American cars. Every year American car makers output diverges more and more from what the Japanese market wants. Want to sell in a market? Make what that market wants.

My first thoughts as well, “Hmm, that’s awful chunky for a cafe racer”. Then again, this is the US where most people’s morning Starbucks orders exceed your recommended daily caloric intake.

April Fools! They got us good and will instead continue to make overpriced, outdated crap, then go bankrupt.

Everyone is going to complain GM’s ventilators don’t look enough like the concepts and have crappy interiors.
