Love the OZ wheels with the off-road tires.

I think they should be aiming squarely at Subaru. Unreasonably popular, off-road and enthusiast focused...

Haha, I haven’t, but that’s because I do know how horrible they are. I worked on them for a summer, and so I saw the build quality first hand, as well as the shady stuff that went on in the repair bays.

Not defending this per second, but here’s my best guess as to the appeal:

32, 195lbs, we gross more than that, 3 kids, 1 dog, 3 chickens (because we’re fucking hipsters like that), 1 manual Toyota Matrix (bought used) and one automatic Mercedes R350 (also bought used). So yeah, I guess I'm sorry Mergio...

Are you a lawyer from Michigan? Because I’m not at all familiar with Michigan’s statutes on abandoned property. It may be that they would be guilty of trespassing, but not theft (if Michigan were to have an abandonment clause). Basically, if you abandon a piece of property in a public space, you’re not going to be…

I live in Greeley, so I’m familiar with Denver’s “renaissance”. I didn’t realize it was quite that bad, as I have seen some stuff on York that was really sketchy when we first moved to Colorado that we now couldn’t touch financially. But OTOH I was working in the North East (just north of Aurora), and almost all of…

To be fair, sometimes the work and cost to renovate a house is significantly more than demolishing and building a new house. I don’t disagree about the value, at all, but to hopefully illustrate:

Sounds like “stole” is a bit of a harsh term. It seems like the motivation was preservation rather than material gain.

You’re right, I was mistaken. They didn’t. But they were in financial dire straits, and laid off something like 40000 employees. I don’t think the board was involved in the timing. Ford had their crisis before the credit crunch was my point. Had it happened later, they would have been in the same position as GM and…

Immanuel Kant is one of the greatest philosophers of all time. No surprise that he beat Hennessey.

I think it’s especially funny since all of the big three had huge bailouts to keep them from going under (Ford just got theirs a little earlier than GM and Chrysler). Tesla going into fiscal dire straits would be part for the course for an American auto maker.

To be fair, you're going to have a tough time doing calculus on your calculator if you don't know order of operations.

It would really be great to just have everyone’s in-car streams live. Just a grid of all the competitors, click the one you want to watch, and watch their run. Bonus points if you can set up an automated curation for multiple cameras (e.g. stitch together the on course camera feeds with the in car feed). Pikes peak…

Caterhams aren’t road legal in the US, except as kit cars. Moreover, if some kid hits me doing 100mph in a Caterham, he dies. If he hits me at that same speed in a full size truck, I die.

5000lbs boat plus 5000lb tow vehicle was my assumption

Well, the malls aren’t full of teenage shitheads with lifted 86 C10's who can’t park and think street racing in their four ton behemoth, while intoxicated, is a perfectly acceptable thing to do.

I’m fine with people driving whatever they want. I’m not fine with morons driving whatever they want. If you’re driving five plus tons around, you should a) be legally of age to be held responsible if you kill someone and b) have passed a more strict test than someone who’s driving a little little Corolla around. And…

This. And you’re not eligible until you turn 18 (standard exemptions for farm equipment still apply). If you’re not old enough to be held legally responsible for the consequences of your actions, you’re not old enough to drive anything bigger than 3000lbs with more than 200hp.

Ooh, insults. Scary.
