The other thing people forget is the logistics of owning something like that. There are no Bugatti or Lamborghini service centers in Monaco as far as I can tell. That means not only do you need to be able to afford the car, but you need to have enough "people" to make sure your car can get flat-bedded out for service

There is "rich" and then there is "I dont care if I get door-dings on my Veyron" rich. Monaco, like Hong Kong and a few other cities always remind me that even if I was rich, I still wouldn't be able to afford a place like that.

Tufekci seems to think that hiring the poor is economically viable for everyone. Hiring an individual caregiver for a special-needs child is exclusively the domain of the wealthy in this country. Regardless of "desire" a single Mother could never employ a full-time nanny for an aging parent. The only way this works is

I predict 8 of these will be sold with the manual and the magnetic suspension. Its just like the CTS-V wagon, only way less attractive.

This is still silly. Why bother? Everyone can just put it into a couple power-bricks. No need to re-combine anything. Oh, they are going to check power bricks now? No problem, you can mold explosives into the handle of suitcase. Oh, checking handles? We will just put it in the wheels.

This smells like organized crime. Not to get all tin-foily but this is the EXACT thing the Anti-Uber crowd would need to help get it crushed. I would bet this driver was a shill, paid to pull this stunt and possibly do the time.

I am somewhat amazed that the biggest gripe seems to be "ugly gauge cluster" or "lights from a minivan" . If thats the biggest complaint, then Cadillac is doing a lot of things right and has come a long way. The ATS is a great car, handles well and is priced right. My only complaint is that the rear seats are more

Because they are beautiful? All-out performance is only one measure of a car. Given that most supercars won't cross 66mph in their life, I don't see why we cant have some that lean more towards "art" than "race-car".

I love how the TSA is convinced that terrorists are as incompetent and stupid as they are. A cell phone is a terrible vector for an attack. Difficult packaging and reduced size means reduced lethality. Ahhhh, but a nice big fat power brick! It doesn't "turn on" and offers much simpler packaging. I promise you, no one

While true, you need to remember that you are not paying full-price up front, just a down payment. You are also carrying the asset "for free" if you are breaking even. So the return is calculated against your initial down-payment over the lifetime of the asset.

This is measuring cash-flow. As hard as it its to believe, no, NYC landlords probably are not making nearly as much as you think. The math is relatively simple. They are banking on long-term appreciation.

Seems like a mistake to leave out taxes. In Texas, we don't have an income tax so our property taxes are radically higher than in other states.

Because providing an "excellent" experiences is a good way to get the high-dollar traveler to buy your tickets. You, the poor person in coach, isn't of much concern to United. They realized, as have most airlines, that you will (essentially) buy whichever ticket is cheapest on Kayak. The premium cabins is where they

I can only assume you are trolling with this incoherent 10th grader communist nonsense.

Why don't you feel bad? The guys is obviously a car-guy that cares about his collection. This isn't some trust-fund kid buying an Enzo because it "was the most expensive one".

Awww, I like the first gen CLS. I think they still look great.

If anyone thinks he is joking, he isn't. Texas castle doctrine is very clear in this regard. You actually do have the right to open fire if you have reason to believe that the stolen goods will not be retrieved by any other means. You might get in trouble for discharging a firearm in the city limits and reckless use

This is not a "girls car" it is incredibly hard to get into and out of, has no luggage space and is relatively hard to drive. This is for people (like me, were I in the market) who want non-cayman option.

I will stand alone and say I like it, but then I generally hate the "sameness" of all cars today. That said, there is no universe where this car meets pedestrian and 5mph crash tests so: Vision Concept.

While I agree with you, I think the number one complaint about the previous vipers was "You cannot sell a $100k with a plastic interior!" or "Needs better leather!" or "Terrible usability!". They fixed all of that and people stopped buying them.
