Fucking Boche.

But if all that works out to be true in practice, then Tesla’s direct-sales model poses no threat to the dealers fighting so hard against it.

Thanks for the clarification.

I could be a dick and say buy something other than a 911, since I’m not a fan, but I won’t. (I did like Kristen’s suggestion, though).

I don’t think this was as much about following the rules as much as it was about squeezing another fare out of an already-booked flight. But either way, fuck Delta.

Yeah, or they could’ve used an angle in which the Ren Cen just isn’t visible (maybe they did, I’m not familiar with Detroit’s skyline).

It could just be that FCA didn’t want to advertise a rival in one of their own products. Or it could be a deliberate diss.

Well, I’m only 41 now, but the main thing that has changed is the frequency (it’s lessened).

Both valid points. But crushing the cars would:

Not in the way GM and Ford V8s can be ordered from JEGS, but when the cars were still new(ish) you could probably walk up to a Toyota parts counter and order one, much like you could with a B18C5 back in the day.

His punishment should’ve included being forced to watch all 50 of those junkers get fed to a crusher.

Yeah, I know someone who builds these things. He prefers to start with a GTE block and a VVTi GE head.

I’ve always thought they looked good. Clean, conservative lines like that just tend to age well.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Toyota built 3,000 MkIV Supras, and about six million 2JZ-GTEs?

It slows my car down a little bit more.

Ugh, man, they managed to make it worse.

If I’m reading this right, they left open the possibility of the screaming chicken, no?

Just checking, but I can’t overdose on schadenfreude, can I?

I pretty much agree.

I’d say Manhattan, but in the 1960s. That would line up with the peak for V8-powered personal cars, and there probably weren’t many fewer fleet cars back then.
