We have no idea how wealthy this woman is. All we know is that her social security income is well under the monthly income of $4,400. She could have $10 million in the bank, but her income might still be limited to that social security check.

God do they. The SRX is a terrible vehicle to drive. Had one as a rental about a year ago. Next time I was offered one, I asked for a downgrade to something better.

They look good from a distance. Up close, the details just look cheap.

At least there was some.

Really? I think a gay car would be much better styled than this. If I were going to call cars gay, they’d be attractive and upscale. Aston Martin, say, or Jag. Not this awkwardly proportioned, derivative nonsense.

I dare say you didn’t read the original article and see the side view.

There are plenty of very wealthy car collectors who would make the same criticism. Look at British DJ Chris Evans’ Ferrari collection. It’s insanely valuable - his 250 GTO alone is worth way more than all of these cars together. But the guy drives them, he’s deeply knowledgeable, and even includes some not-so-precious…

What? Sure people have the right. As soon as it is a “collection” rather than purely utilitarian, you’re inviting criticism. You’re saying that there is a curatorial thread connecting all of these items (usually that thread is the collector’s identity) and opening it to critical appraisal. It’s not at all invalid to…

This is just like Lane Pryce quitting after firing all of the Sterling Cooper execs.

I was wondering how I’d get all my puppies and milk delivered this summer. Problem solved.

Don’t forget the low property taxes. My brother in Texas spends more on his property taxes than I do for a house that is worth 1/3 as much. Texans tend to avoid mentioning that little detail when talking about how much we Californians pay in state income tax (hint: not nearly enough to offset the property tax savings).

My dream car.

This pilot will have an absurd ratio of landings:hours.

This is all well and good, but I need a high-profile tv campaign to tell me it’s still okay for an arrogant d-bag to buy one at the new, lower price.

Not all, but many. I know I could not, for instance, buy property in either Norway or Thailand. But both of those countries have very different economic and cultural concerns from the US.

You’d rather they invested their money in other countries? Generally the nations that prohibit foreign ownership of real estate are relatively poor and powerless, so foreign ownership presents a legitimate threat to the domestic market. This is not an issue in the US at all and neither major party would side with you…

Schumacher would have done a lot more than that. He was notorious for blocking and letting guys take an outside line just to open his radius mid-corner and push them off track.

I agree with you. It is in neither Lewis nor Mercedes interest to do anything different. It's about winning for both of them and 1-2 is the best possible result for the team. If Nico's so much faster, then he has two options: do better in Q3 or overtake. That's it, nothing else. That's how the sport works.

With that many guys, I don't know why they didn't just pick it up to orient it so it would fit through.

This is crazy. In addition to the bad science, it's criminalizing thought, which is the one thing that a person cannot control. Criminal penalties should be for criminal ACTIONS.
