Something tells me there’s going to be plenty of funds and interest in the second airframe is the first is truly beyond repair.

That's not how auctions work. 

Ah. So the Bugatti drive was the quintessential “going out with a bang.”

If its affecting your ability to enjoy truly spectacular things, it might be time to talk to someone with appropriate credentials.

Sounds less like this would enhance their ability to acquire cars (nothing was stopping them from having agents at these auctions) and more like dual-use setups at these facilities allows a good way to expand physical footprint while increasing positive revenue. 

To be fair, 12-15 million houses don't get sent to the shredder every year. Car manufacturers are in a much better position to maintain demand than homebuilders. 

Sure there was. Russia received functionally no repercussions for taking Crimea from Ukraine. Europe is too beholden to their raw materials. 

That's because you're not a president with poor poll numbers. 

Well, that’s incredibly short sighted. Now is when you let the market resolve the issue. You tap the reserve if things escalate to a point that the market is incapable of doing so.

A steal. Or there’s a nefarious back story that will be discovered and featured in a future article.

Did you block the intercooler grille in winter? I discovered my 2012 was prone to that going into its first winter, applied pipe insulation and haven’t had an issue since. Just take it out in March and put it back in late October or so. (Depending on your local climate, of course.)

I think Moslers gets recused from this discussion because they were intentionally not styled. Warren Mosler would have fired anyone that said "but can we make it pretty? It'll be almost as fast."

That’s fair. I don’t know that it’s aged well so much as it has remained the same while ugly has proliferated around it.

Hadn’t seen that number. Makes a jump to the mid 8's in a more capable vehicle pretty impressive, let alone that the new trucks are rated 14.7 without AC. (Always conspicuously absent in these articles.)

The first supercar that ever made me have a visceral negative reaction was the Ferrari Enzo. It was terribly out of place from their usual styling and just a chunky mess, building on similar but less grotesque portions of the F50.

*obligatory rimshot*

“It’s one of the reasons I stopped accepting press cars, as I didn’t want a simple mistake to ruin the lives of any of my fellow Detroiters.”

If any of the owners that didn’t get arrested are thinking, they’re currently reporting these vehicles stolen.

Alternate headline: Market continues to confirm Alfa Romeo has most overpriced MSRP of any brand.

I enjoy that some quasi HOA has shown up for the Tesla plant, and seems to have attracted the requisite members.
