Maybe it’s my age, but this is a NP for me. Maybe because I have zero tolyfor bodywork anymore. But it's a clean example of a hard top that I can build on as well.

So no more apple or Microsoft products either? No more etc products? 

You might not be aware of it but dry hot weather and fallen dried vegetation tend to start fires. Very large fires.

You don't need to sell us the car, just make the transmission available. 

Oh fuck off New York. If the people are speeding just take their license. The last thing anyone wants is some bureaucrat somewhere saying (in a few years) well these worked really well on the habitual speeders, let's require them for state inspection. You know just in school zones. Then it'll be everywhere.

If you really think that, I got some really bad news about businesses in general. Everything from the recent fiasco with Bud Light, to Toyotas repeatedly headbutting walls trying to out Ford Ford with their truck. To a few monumental faceplants in the aviation industry.

I wouldn't. I don't like the cars. The styling and that giant (apparently disposable multi thousand dollar) touchscreen turn me right around when shopping. 

If anything it explains the falsehoods of money. It’s the same thing with say Walmart and target. People put a greater value on target because they the products are better (they are made in the same sweatshops in Bangladesh) or that they treat their employees better (I’ve worked part time in both. Walmart treats you…

So it's okay when a large company "wins" as long as you dislike the founder of the smaller company.

Cool. Now why does him being a jerk involve the car company. 

Yeah and reinvesting in education seems to have worked out just great for us. 

Shallow root system trees have a tendency to fall over. And if you’ve never been to place that palm trees grow wild. The amount of cutting back of the leaves (to give them the look we are used too) is a few times a year endeavor that involves lifts and cherry pickers and overhead work.

Am I the only one that thinks of this as Goliath beating David?

Living in Phoenix and not being either clumsy or a meth enthusiast nor stupid enough to walk around 115° heat in bare feet, this doesn’t seem to be a problem.

Ehhhh. $5k is pretty good for this. I was a professional tech when these were new, and worked in a VW, Audi, Porsche dealership. So I (kinda) know my way around them.

So last week they were too expensive. This week you don’t make enough. What’s coming next week. People would by them if the made more and they were cheaper?

And if they take a four acre patch f land in a business park and tear up the grass and replace it with trees, it’s going to use about the same amount of water. But cost three or so more in upkeep and maintenance. And take a decade or so to form a little forrest there.

Oh no, an automotive company is asking for federal funding. This has to be the first time that's ever happened. 

Killing? That would mean running them over. No GTA here. 

Sorry you keep the open air garbage heap that is Portlands political landscape to yourself. We already have enough cases of California running around here.
