Anyone who listens to music/talk when driving a vintage Ferrari deserves to be headbutted.

So it’s basically a Corvette!

As a chronically underfunded adjunct lecturer/occasional freelance writer with a depressing parking situation and intentions to start a family living in the land of the twenty-five-year rule, we could spend all day on this.

That $3k iPhone argument is baseless and tiresome. Apple builds the phone there because it’s cheap for them to do so. Apple charges $1k for a phone because people will pay it. No sound business has a set percentage of profit margin, then charges a final price based on such a formula.

Now they’re bloated and barely recognizable. The 911 still looks the same AND still looks good after all these years. Coopers and Beetles

I prefer the Stinger myself. Open top, pop up headlamps, caters to my active lifestyle!

The best Pontiac concept is still the Sunfire Concept:

Look at this gorgeous stock car for 13.5k,

Great example of two maxims:
