yes, I think that is one small piece of it. If there is a negotiated end to their invasion of Ukraine one chip could be “we’ll return all the rich people’s stuff” which does result in some leverage to give something to the rich people that control things. But, that seems unlikely right now so more likely selling it to…

It was a regular at the classic car show that ran during the local auto show every year. Usually in the basement show room. I have not been there for 3 years but last time I was there the EV1 was still there. Privately owned. It was there for nearly 10 years that I recall and funny thing is that thousands of people…

If you could pay $1million to maintain something then later sell it for (lets say half price to be realistic) $150 million would you do it? You could make $149 million.

Your car isn’t worth 300 million dollars.

They seized the boats because the Russian individuals support and have extremely close ties to Putin... who just used his countries military to invade a sovereign country and is currently bombing its civilian infrastructure and relocating it’s people into Russian territory.

They are being maintained (and barely so) in part because they are worth more when auctioned if they aren’t floating piles of rust.

If you want to correct your title... they didn’t crush every example.

Exactly, seems like development dollars better spend elsewhere. Especially with a manufacturer that is known to be a little frugal with its development spending.

Same results either way. But with Ford the development dollars are used to make a decent car.

Nothing is real any more.

Buying a BMW has nothing to do with style and everything to do with making a statement to those around you. That shnoz does it in spades. The louder the better. 

Agree, that’s a tragedy.

I learned what pure unadultered RAGE feels like and how to spot it coming so I can take a break before it is too late.

Why are you calling it an exhaust note... there is no exhaust, correct?

acoutsic chamber through which air moves... with a speaker at the other end.

ohhh, you’re doubling down here...hourly rentals, the best kind of rental. Home Depot has no idea what its trucks are capable of.

A large portion of real estate taxes is for the school system. unless you are in Florida.

Your so close. I would say 1 gets destroyed at a car meetup, move a few more to the perpetually sold and resold. And add at least one to an instagrammer fraud type person that will eventually go to jail... and you’re there.

I just tell the guy loading that it’s rental and they drop it in, no questions asked.

This kind of crap turns up everywhere. Mostly designed in a vacuum with a bunch of back-patting and attaboys.
