I stand becasue I don’t really fit in the space allotted to me by the plane seat. Standing gives me a bit more room to stretch, even in that line, and lets my legs wake up before I have to use them.

I’m an old gen x person. The cars I had did not have a tape deck. You either listened to the radio or you had to add a tape deck after market. Then the mix tape became a thing, although I generally just played a tape. 

Was there something controversial at Deadspin?

There is a 2018 RTR near me for $36k that I keep thinking about. 

Isn’t that the old Cobra measure? It did it in 13 back in the ‘60s.

I *still* want one of these.

Fit and finish - panel gaps, interior etc.

‘71 Ford Mustang Grande

VW’s are made here. BMW’s are made here. Mercedes are made here.

I guess I am asking what is the car you own that you are comparing the Corvette to in your comment?

I’m surprised Tesla doesn’t sell skateboards to other manufacturers as well.

What do you drive now?

So cost competitive with the M240, down a bit on power. Depends on how it drives I guess.

Huh, I thought they were more.

GM workers start at $14 - $16 per hour. Target here starts at $13. I kinda see the unions point.

This concept of yours that increased performance requires greater safety equipment is something you have developed independently. In 1970, you could buy a car with 300 - 400 horsepower with no air bags, half ass seat belts, drum brakes and no crumple zones. You could add to that car a supercharger, nitrous and…

Local laws - not tradition or practice, laws. 

Why are you holding him to a higher standard than the manufacturer of the car?
