You can see cooler stuff than this by going to any Gambler 500. :D This looks like the rich guy version of the Ford Festiva I chopped up years ago.

Full circle. First time I’d heard of this: https://jalopnik.com/watch-jay-z-kanye-west-saw-the-top-off-a-maybach-5830270

It would be hard to make this any uglier:

You know, I'm OK with hacking up a Maybach, maybe they could destroy a Lamborghini Urus next time. 

Kia says “The EV6 also introduces improvements to its Integrated Converter Control Unit (ICCU) with increased output density.”

I mean they seem to handle better than you’d expect for a 4000 lb monster of speed, but it still doesn’t inspire the sort of desire I have for other high-performance vehicles.

This is why I think Koenigsegg is an infinitely cooler company. Not only is the engineering more interesting, the things they do are less iterative and more innovative. 

But Bugatti’s can handle extremely well to. I kinda don’t really know what else needs to be done. They already have Rimac for EV needs and records. They could probably go for the ultimate Manual bugatti and offer some new tech for a manual version and go for some records at The Ring. That would be pretty neat actually.

Yep.  I just view it as billionaire funded research into automotive/material engineering.

For me, the turn off is that they’ve become so specialized that you basically can’t drive them, except at a few designated high-speed venues.

It’s an interesting technical exercise but I agree, emotionally. A new Bugatti just wouldn’t be on my list of dream cars if I had unlimited funds. A Bentley would be my pick for luxury, styling and decent oomph, and I’d rather take a lightweight agile supercar over straight-line speed. Every time Bugatti breaks a…

I’ve actually been a bit of the opposite on Bugatti. As I’ve age, supercars just look more like an uncomfortable compromise to show off wealth than anything worth owning, even if I had some spare millions to waste. Bugatti pushing the limits of material engineering is far more interesting to me than anything from just…

I couldn’t agree more. I think the new models still look pretty cool, but the shock value just hasn’t been there as it was with the Veyron. It just feels like the numbers don’t matter any more. 

Agreed, and I think it’s because the Veyron was a Piech-era engineering marvel that went above and beyond to hit benchmarks that really didn’t matter but were cool anyways (see also: VW XL-1). All the Bugattis since then have just been iterations on the same formula, but not anything actually new. Now there are…

Um, actually, that’s bare carbon fiber

He’s a Petty Officer, article 133 (conduct unbecoming) doesn’t apply to him. It’s possible that he could get hemmed up under article 134, but in order for that to stick, the prosecution would have to prove that the conduct was prejudicial to good order and discipline or of a nature to bring discredit upon the service.…

I don’t think there’s actually a late fee.  This situation is all kinds of shady.

He said he was able to board the flight after he pretended to send the money to her account.

Okay, so wait... how would this work?

Well, he was obviously late and being military or not doesn’t change that, especially if it’s your own fault for walking away. But assuming his allegations are true, the gate agents can’t take money to open the gate again. Now I see how this is probably a pretty decent side hustle, albeit a pretty shady one 😂
