“Mercedes Finish 1-2" ain't that much of a spoiler....

Imma need more popcorn for that show....

Live look-in from Rich Energy HQ:

For yesterday’s Miata, you also had to factor in the price of undoing all the horrible shit AND the out-of-pocket for treating the gonorrhea you’d contract simply by sitting in the driver’s seat. 

He’s like Winston Wolfe, but for historical ineptitude instead of pieces of brain matter and skull!

There’s something deeply soothing about letting a wave of highly technical sports gibberish just wash over you...

No. In fact, the owner is not allowed to sell it. He must keep it, drive it regularly in public and park it visibly in his driveway as a warning that his genes should not be passed on.

The point I think (hope?) he is trying to make is that her employment shouldn’t matter- that this would be a bullshit move regardless of whether she saves babies for a living or works for (shiver) a marketing agency.

Dictators, entertainers (musicians, athletes, etc.) and children of the insanely wealthy. These aren’t people who have three cars and decide on which supercar will be their “fun” car. They tend toward giant collections, which means sales of 8000 units per year end up in relatively few hands.

Step 1: Make the Offer

When I was a kid (yes, it’s one of THOSE stories. Siddown and listen, whippersnappers), my dad replaced his shot-to-shit Plymouth Duster with a 1984 gold Corolla. Same front interior as this, except it had tan cloth and a brown dash. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. He would let me work the gearshift…

It’s a little too steam-punk-wet-dream for me.

I’d say by laying out the safe-harbor limits, it fairly well communicates that conduct outside those limits is probably going to run afoul of the rule.

You joke, but my office just switched away from it 10 days ago

They don't do it unless there's not another option. Under those circumstances, I'd take whoever's available.

No, it is the best time. When someone like this dies, they magically become saints in the public eye because all these tributes start rolling in. Public perception then shifts and they become examples to be followed.

Because it only made it 5 miles before something important fell off or blew up....

How so? With VAR, even if applied poorly, there’s at least a chance of a bad officiating call/non-call getting reversed. A 50% chance that the Hand of God goal gets overturned is better than a 0% chance without replay.

Seriously. We are now a deeply mobile country, with robust communications capacity and highly reliable (though admittedly unpleasant) air travel. LEAVE YOUR OVERPOPULATED PIT OF DESPAIR AND STRIKE OUT FOR A NEW AND BETTER LIFE!

So your general solution of “GET RID OF VAR” wouldn’t have done jack shit to remedy this, right?
