Swing and a miss Ivan. Enjoy living in a North Korea style hellhole after your army is crushed under the weight of its own incompetence!

It is. But most buyers want more, right or wrong. 

Entirely possible too. Either way, one station isn’t cheaper than another beside it’s “less greedy.” No station is charging what it is for altruistic reasons. 

Just impossible to talk about Ukraine on a public internet forum without one of Putin’s bootlickers entering the chat. 

“Imagine being so greedy that you’re willing to sue someone because they aren’t as greedy as you”

I started off by messing with a perfectly good car. Like many, I suspect, I started my wrenching journey circa 2003 by installing a “cold air intake.” I used only the finest Ebay-sourced components, but in my defense I did buy a K&N air filter rather than the ebay-supplied one.

I’m very much for an electric 718-type vehicle, but if they are actually using a 718 chassis, I’m afraid it’s going to be fairly weak sauce. EVs need to be built on EV specific chassis to make proper use of the tech. 

Once they cancelled the Mazdaspeed 3 (And the rest of the Mazdaspeed program), the only Mazda worth caring about was the Miata. We can only hope there is an NE Miata, but I’m afraid that’s far from guaranteed.

They don’t like EVs because they are the death knell of their business model.

The rate of descent makes me think this is likely to be a Germanwings 9525 style event (pilot murder-suicide):

My turbo Alfa Spider. Built motor, Megasquirt EFI, digital dash, race interior, dual master cylinder boosterless brake setup and 6 piston big brake in front, Watts link and coil over conversion in rear end, OS Gikken LSD, etc.

They are severely production constrained and selling every one they can make. 

They aren’t, but they just don’t give a shit. 

Cayman Islands actually has pretty robust anti-money laundering/ KYC these days. It’s not a favored shell company jurisdiction for crooks any more. Dirty money goes to other jurisdictions now. 

Hard thing is that it’s unlikely Putin legally owns it (or much of anything for that matter). If you get through all the layers of shell companies, most likely the only human owner you will find is a straw owner, who may be quite obscure (i.e. not a known oligarch). Could be a random guy the plucked off the street who…

“This tactic did little to inspire coincidence in the participants.”

Point of order: the low life expectancy for Russians as a whole doesn’t really apply to people like Mazepin. Those low numbers are a combination of high infant mortality, poor healthcare, and rampant drug/alcohol abuse. An adult scion of a billionaire has access to world class healthcare and (as far as we know)…

Others have posted worse examples, but I believe he is the worst in the modern Super License era. They’ve tightened things up enough that it’s nearly impossible for someone truly dangerously unqualified to end up in F1. But they still allow for mediocrity if it comes with a generous cash injection. If the Haas seat…

If it were in deep space (as happens in the movies) it wouldn’t have the heat cycle issue. 

Like his policy of getting BJs from interns when willing?
