This probably won’t be seen, but here goes:

I’ve seen a Veyron in motion at the opening of Utah Motorsports Campus (formerly Miller Motorsports Park). That thing, regardless of variant, has some serious presence.

Both my cars (an ‘03 domestic and an ‘11 German) get ethanol-free 88 octane and they’re perfectly happy.

Both my cars have stickers on the fuel doors that say that 87 octane minimum. I fill both with ethanol-free 88.

Obviously rich? That looks like an FX37, which brand-new started around $46k. Not cheap, but certainly not Porsche Cayenne Turbo territory. And I can bet that FX wasn’t acquired brand-new.

This reminds me of when I worked in sales for a Mazda dealership over a decade ago. A customer had traded her 6MT 350Z Touring for a 6MT RX-8 and after a a couple of days had decided that she didn’t like the car anymore and wanted her Z back. Apparently the discussions got pretty heated over a series of phone calls…

We had a 1985 Delta 88 Royale with the 5.0L V8 years ago (2001). That thing soaked up crap roads like nobody’s business all over the southwest and Four Corners area. It was a right fucking tank and I was kinda sad to see it go.

So what’s this then? Are you gonna hit up everyone else that made the same commentary in this discussion?

It’s not necessarily the fueling or runways, but everything required for maintenance is different compared to what they’ve had for the F-16s. Tools, computers to analyze the flight control systems, etc. That shit ain’t cheap.

At a minimum the F-35 is about 20db louder than the F-16. So yea, there’s a significant difference in noise output.

The F-35 is at a minimum 20db louder than an F-16.

12'6?

Makes me wonder how high the trailer is. I work around semi trailers for my day job and when they go over a certain height and their carrier does business on the east coast they have giant warning stickers on the front of the trailer that says that the trailer cannot go to basically the entire eastern portion of the…

My neighbor has a mint condition green over tan SC400. I’ve made two offers to buy at his price and got told it’s not for sale.

Not only four turbos, but four turbos feeding an inline-six diesel

“Up next on ‘Who Has A Bigger Case Of PTSD’ - In the blue corner we have Manny the BMW tech who has to work on the new Alpina with the quad-turbo inline six diesel engine! And in the silver corner we have Justin the VW tech who’s been told he has to repair a Touraeg V10 TDI!”

Truth.

His description matches 50% or more of the populace of wherever he’s pulling this off. Good luck with that.

When I was in high school (end of the 90s, start of the 2000s) there was a local urban legend that was circulating that certain digital copies of the book had been edited either by law enforcement or people with a serious asshole streak so that if you tried certain things you’d end up injuring yourself as the recipes…

Because it was mentioned in a cartoon that features a drunken lunatic asshole scientist?
