Just look at what they did at the Hungaroring with an objectively bad engine. They clearly have the chassis and aero to be strong competitors and they’d be a legitimate threat now if it weren’t for those pesky long straights where power is king.

Agreed. My (likely out of reach) dream of owning a mid-engine Ferrari died with the 430.

This is just another example of “cheap for what it is, not cheap.” The car started at $60,000 in 1991 which is just shy of $110,000 adjusted into today’s money.

Well they went to college and I know from experience that they require you to be registered to the selective service after having the college input my social security number wrong and nearly deny me registration because I wasn’t registered with the selective service.

A Volvo Lotus Wrangler may actually be brilliant from a business sense. I mean, your average Volvo owner isn’t going to be cross-shopping a Jeep or a Lotus. Your average Jeep owner isn’t going to be cross-shopping a Volvo or a Lotus. And your average Lotus owner is likely looking for a second car and probably wouldn’t…

Flood damage + extensive structural modifications + at-home engine swap = $18,000?

I’m semi-with you on that. Without seeing his body language or knowing how he talks to other students, I’m not so sure he’s flirting. I mean, full disclosure, I’m a guy, but I’ve had male professors use weird nicknames for me and comment on haircuts and shit too. In each case, they were weird and awkward dudes, but…

I agree. BUT if someone says “Injuns are drunk thieves that should be exterminated” then looks up directions to the nearest reservation and attempts to buy a gun... We should have mechanisms in place to pump the brakes to make sure he isn’t buying the gun to exterminate said “injuns.” Is this really that hard? Seems…

Maybe they’re building it in Toledo, Spain. Just to shake things up.

I don’t disagree. But there’s a difference between being an asshole and advocating violence. Once you’ve done the latter, you’re dabbling in conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism and there’s no reason to enable that behavior by allowing you to buy firearms without question.

That’s just not true at all. The Bill of Rights was written in 1789 and ratified in 1791 while the US Army and Navy were both established in 1775, a year before the Declaration of Independence was even written, let alone the Constitution.

Who decides? Let’s be clear that the “unpopular opinion” we’re talking about is a desire to either exterminate or make subservient an entire race of people for no reason other than their being a different race. This is not a political belief. This is not a religious belief. This isn’t even a belief in what are and…

OHHH! So you’re good with money if you don’t have enough to cover three weeks pay and just refuse to cover it, but you’re BAD with money if you don’t have enough to cover three weeks pay and make a gofundme to cover it. Gotcha. That makes wayyy more sense. /s

That’s rough and exactly why I dress presentable on flights.

I like being able to do all those things without a trick. Or a babysitter for that matter.

Audi A6

I was him at 27. I’m still him at 34. I’ll stick to being selfish in the way that affords me lavish vacations, fancy dinners, and impractical cars.

I mean it could still happen. If the laws finally wised up and let me keep them in the trunk until they’re big enough to walk places on their own, I’d consider having a kid.

For fucks sake, I thought this was a sports blog. YES you can drop kick your opponents. Why do you think they call it FOOTball?!?!

I appreciate the intro into the course. I also enjoyed the preview into Moving the Goal Post to Shield Yourself from Criticism 212. Can’t wait for next semester!
