It’s unusual and interesting but way overpriced. I have known about these since the early 70s when we had a BMW 2000 Sedan, but this is the first time I’ve had a good look at the interior. Based on the existence of the 2000 Touring I wasn’t sure if it would have the 2002 style dash with a tach as shown or the 4 door

I think power to weight ratio is actually more important than raw horsepower. 75 hp in a 2000lb car is different from 75hp in a 500lb motorcycle. My car has 180 hp which seems fine to me but is “underpowered” in reviews and similarly my 260hp truck only feels short of power on a hill with a trailer.

I’d pull up the Subaru ad further but the only part of Danbury I cared about was Marcus Dairy and that’s long gone. Which brings me to the R60/6, since I used to ride my R100S up from New York. On the one hand an R60 is too much like what I already have, on the other it’s more stable and tractable without autobahn

I'm sure the proximity of doughnuts and coffee factored into siting that police station 

yeac, my definition of “enormous” starts with a Volvo BM rock truck

It’s a class 7 medium truck, not a pickup, but it’s till smaller than a class 8 Mack or Volvo

It feels a little high priced but it's an Ultra with lowest miles so NP. These are very durable and comfortable,  we have a 2003 LeSabre with 215,000 miles that outlived its first two owners 

The two oddities that haven’t made the list are both brass era. The 1914 Pungs Finch was a Mercer Raceabout look alike that failed. They only made one and through the 1970s it reided in Henry Austin Clark’s Long Island Auto Museum in the Hamptons. I know because I had a postcard of it and visited the museum as a kid

That's the one with a 3800 V6, I researched it because a blown 3800 in a 3rd gen Camaro would be different than all the LS swaps

I wouldn't call an F750 "enormous" but I  will call the driver several kinds of stupid.  My F150 can exceed 6000lb when loaded.

A lawyer is obligated to make a vigorous defense.  If he can produce reasonable doubt by blaming the machine he will. Since the machine requires  human oversight,  I think the driver will still be held responsible and rightly so. 

I never said wars were specifically fought over cobalt, but the constant state of war in The Congo since the 60s has always involved minerals and profits. As for the Belgians who created this mess, the English language doesn’t have enough profanity, and Christianity doesn’t have a deep enough hell for the worst

I’m amused that this happened in a Tim Horton's, wanna bet at least one of those cop cars was already in the parking lot for coffee and Tim Bits. 

I thought setting cars on fire was a French thing. 

A rust free Italian car always has some value,  but not as much as he's asking.  Tax and smog are a non issue in Oregon  as long as you register at a DEQ exempt address 

“making the Cybertruck his whole personality" was his first mistake and paying for Twitter blue check was his second.  Now he is an apostate CyberCuck, and I'm unsurprised Lord Elon’s minions greyballed him

1st gear and 4th gear are ultimately the same problem,  lack of compelling product.  VW has nothing compelling and the Jeep Wrangler is being outsold by the Bronco while corroding in people's driveways.

This has some of the same feeling as the Crypto Bro fail ship, although not as cringe

That is still more logical than circa 1999 GM power locks, these had some bizarre logic of when they locked and unlocked and I had to find and read rhe manual to figure out. I guess GM realized it was too complex because our 2003 Buick is very simple.

Give it time, I'm sure there will be wars over lithium,  cobalt mostly comes from The Congo which has been at war for 60 years.  As for gasoline powered luxury cars, I'm not fond of them either.
