That dude is starting to look like an alien from Men In Black.

You’ve given this too much thought. lol.

Exactly. A friend of mine, who was special forces and involved in all kinds of kinds of crazy stuff, once told me “The U.S. Government couldn’t keep a chili recipe a secret”. So to think that all those thousands of people purportedly involved in this stuff over the decades — and their spouses, kids, and our foreign

That’s a lot of coin for a 6 year old VW that really isn’t anything special. I mean, if it were a screaming deal it’d be fun to have a stick-shift VW wagon, but I’d also rather spend $30K on a used Boxster and a used Forester if I needed that combo of fun and utility. 

Rail (f0r freight) is win-win for the GOP. They get all kinds of kickback/lobbying money to deregulate/strip the safety rules/insulate them from liability AND they can use rail shipping against those pesky truck drivers and their unjust demands for better pay and safety.

There’s fine line between well used and ratty, and this one falls just south of that line. Bummer of a ND for a neat truck.

I’m in SWFL, too, and I wouldn’t be surprised if brand-new cars are coming from dealer lots that got flooded. Sure saw some flooded lots here in Charlotte County. I mean, Florida dealers gonna deal, right?

Hey Trump & His Minions... follow along here:

Car? Any Challenger/Charger.

Looks a bit grimy to me — there’s what looks like an uneven finish on the wheels, the seats look dirty, and the overall car needs a good cleaning and polishing if this guy really thinks it’s worth top dollar. On top of that, the special edition nonsense and two-tone seats/stripes give it — at least t0 me — a cheap

I’m just hoping that the horrors that they have planned are muted by what is sure to be incompetence and infighting at every level. 

Neat, but is this a Miata? Seems more like an upmarket RX-7 to me. Gotta think it’s going to be $40K plus and generate limited sales, and our fun, simple little tossable MX-5 will be a thing of the past.

Eh, ND. To me the fun of a crazy-ass car like this is the build. It’s be silly excitement for a few weekend afternoons, but once you’ve taken your buddies for a their pointless 20 minute “holy shit!” ride, no one — including yourself — is going to be all that excited to drive it. After that its always going to be too

Honestly, if you feel a need for a CT in your life this is probably the smartest way to do it. You’re looking at about $40,000 over 3 years of usage, so that locks in your costs against possible depreciation. Instead of buying you keep more of your money invested and working for you over those 3 years, and by the end

This news is going to make about 4 U.S. drivers happy.

Plus, you can drive a Rivian all day long without people giving you the finger or laughing at you.

Any chance we can chain Captain Cheeto to the helm and watch him go down with the ship?  

I dunno. It’s notable for its performance and maybe its design, but is it really historic? I mean, if it was named the “SS Lancaster” do you think there would be half as much interest in saving her? 

It’s going to be cool to see her underway on the last voyage. It’s bittersweet to see a grand old lady like this retired, but this one is long past saving and clearly no group/city/foundation sees any value in pouring untold millions into the rehab, insurance, mooring, upkeep, etc that this thing would require.
