Cars on the Mind

I am not being a smart ass but the sentiment that disliking ricers is racism I don’t understand. In the US at least it might be classism? I don’t think a certain race dominates the culture, or am I out of the loop? Again this is coming from a US perspective.

I know ads are a necessity... paying the bills and all. That said they take 75% of my page at least for the first 20 seconds or so on the page. That banner ad that serves me at the top drives me nuts.

This all day, it takes all the fun outta the job. And by job, I mean commenting. I just gave up awhile ago... but since I see Bob blessing some people. Let’s give it a try. 

Consider they didn’t buy at current inflated values. Nothing to live in an $80K home for a decade and have it be worth $350 today. That said real estate prices say that’s lower middle class today.

I am not as technical as the engineers(?) below but... how is a large piece that if damaged requires extensive repair beyond the value of a car different than say a frame?

Do they get to take losses on those years they don’t sell them as well? TSLA goes down 10% and he loses $30B does he get a carry forward on the loss? It’s a silly idea, they can just go buy art, real estate, whatever doesn’t get a yearly valuation and dodge some more. Either way when they realize earnings/income they

F1 LM all day. The best looking version of a revolutionary car. Not a long tail guy and the front fascia is a bit soft on the “standard” car.

I have driven this (the correct direction) in a JL Rubicon (Overkill). The baby Bronco could probably get it done with some scraping and good line choices. The driver seems to not have been capable of either. I can not tell you enough though how obvious it is you shouldn’t be going up this trail from Telluride. I worry

They are expensive but look at a 911 Turbo compared to the next fastest non electric vehicle... it’s a good deal. Then consider the next fastest vehicle requires crazy maintenance that exceeds that of the 911. Again, not a bad deal. I wouldn’t say overrated.

I will say I owned a JK and JL Wrangler. I had taken them both to Moab and several trails. They are goats... but the thing that drove me buts is all the auto publications acted like the JL was leaps and bounds better than the JK as it relates to on-road manners, it wasn’t true. It’s marginally better... I guess...

What @tulleytwo said.

Eat the rich, amirite? Regardless of where his source of income comes from, good for him. I hope he is a better person for the time spent there. 

Hard to do much right these days. I think in many instances once you see someone living very differently than you it generally opens your eyes to their struggle... or in some cases their lack of struggle with much less than you. After I spent time in rural areas of Vietnam my politics changed greatly upon returning to

Careful there, you’re going to alienate your current colleagues. Jalopnik might have to credit Elon with something good here.

Only people as cult like as the “Muskers”, are the anti-Muskers. Reading the comment section here is like reading a political forum... with all the silly names for other people, example musker=libtard.

Live in Boulder... one of those places without an ocean. It’s bad here too, buddy just sold his house for $120k over asking. Land lovers amirite? 

I would mention that a $5K bike is able to be purchased by many walks of life. You see plenty of people without much money who own $5K motorcycles so I wouldn’t suggest the person with a $5-7K bike is flush with cash. They just value something you don’t.

Yeah god forbid someone has something nice. If you manage to ever have an expensive car... I presume you don’t based on your response to people who have nice things... I hope it isn’t stolen from you. But then some dude can comment who he doesn’t feel bad cause you shouldn’t have a $130K 911 C4s.

If America had less travel and went to Wolly World, I’d expect you’d have even more ignorant people in this country. As a whole, travel is good, seeing other cultures, and learning how others live is good. Many of us can afford it either way and can say things like, raise the cost. However, to relegate those with less
