Interior looks like something from a company that only makes faux macho trucks. Oh... wait.

Also a spike in listening to good Irish music.

Helio Castroneves has 31 IndyCar/CART wins, including 4 Indy 500s, 84 podiums, 47 poles, 13 top 5 IndyCar championship finishes... but hes never won an openwheel car championship. Not in junior series, not in the big cars.

Sorry about your agoraphobia “darthspartan117"?

I’m not talking about fiber to the home, im talking about the nationwide fiber network that makes your cellphone and internet work (specifically in the midhaul and backhaul). The telcoms laid 43 million route miles of fiber by 2007. 13 years earlier, there were a few thousand miles.

I fully agree with you that its short sighted, and actively makes the product on track worse.

It is 13 years from now. Thirteen years.

The writing has been on the wall for this change for a decade. Auto manufacturers purposefully drug their feet on the transition, spending tens of millions on kickbacks and political corruption, to try to delay it so they could juice some extra short term profit.

They haven’t had production requirements in the top class since 1998.

The US isn’t exporting those engines to China, and Boom certainly has the Chinese Big Three as primary customers on its wish list.

Boom announced in 2020 that they were partnering with Rolls Royce. The design is intended to use a commercial, non military core due to export regulations. They haven’t formally selected an engine, though.

The modern muscle car is an insanely overpriced poorly built unibody SUV made of the cheapest dogshit materials known to man, that looks as bad as it drives, is targeted specifically at boomers, makes the roads objectively more dangerous and worse for normal people, and that only the worst freaks in the world even noti…

$81k unibody minivan with stripes and “tough” plastic cladding. Tailor made for the blue lives matter, oakleys in the profile pic crowd.

Darn green energy took all the coal chimney sweep jobs, too.

My office is in Manhattan Beach (at least, it was back when I had to go there everyday before the pandemic), and I heard a number of similarly insane commutes over the years. Lancaster to MB, Santa Barbara, Temecula, etc
