Well they’re certainly not ACTING like they care, and words mean nothing.  So, by process of elimination, they don’t care.  

Did you read what I wrote? This got assimilated to (and quite obviously was meant to emulate) Monaco boats, which are NOT about sales, those are rich spectators looking to be seen.

Now I see it as simply a fairly successful attempt to tie in a very “Miami” look as one of its viewing venues.

Nah. Fake shit is way dumber than not liking fake shit.

Hard to believe her husband could get his dick hard enough to spawn the brood she has.

Take that not a lot of people are going to like but I think is relevant.

I think deep down Mini was never alive to them. It certainly wasn’t for me. Yeah, they look cool, but they’ve always kind of been junk since being under BMW. Looks are not enough for the people who would keep Mini alive.

The XLR failed because they gave it a Northstar and everyone, even senile gramps, knew that engine was a piece of shit.  

Look, I get it, it’s garish. But this is very normal in a lot a part of the country. Obviously not at this level of excess, but the style.

I don’t disagree that it’s a bit weak. But it seems it does make close to 230 stock. Which means everyone else is making more power than advertised too.

I never said it wasn’t possible. I said that’s their approach with the context of conversation being large scale automotive manufacturing which has price constraints. Building a homologation special allows for completely different kind of spend.

Crack Pipe.  

Well, it is a bad idea because the more expensive you make something the less people you have to sell it to.

What?  It’s $30K for a GTI S.  

Because it was usually tied to the shit motor and they wondered why it didn’t sell. They’ve finally standardized motors across lines and now they shove the MT at the top and wonder why it doesn’t sell. They need to just have the balls to not sell one or sell it with every trim with the understanding that you will…

If you’re paying “for a prestigious name” and see it as “important” then IMO you’re just stupid. To me a BMW badge is a reason NOT to get a car.

Honda has had 20 years and added a turbo and they can’t make more power? C’mon.

Isn’t having only 150 deg of rotation going to make steering awfully touchy?

BUT ITS GOT FOX SHOX BRO!/s

But they at least serve a function. The Eiffel tower is a park everyone can enjoy. Skyscrapers provide space for living or jobs. Military Jets provide probably millions of jobs and they protect the country. This car sitting in a garage does nothing. It may as well have no drivetrain. Potential of speed is not the same…
