SLOW CLAP. I agree wholeheartedly. In the 90s it was hard to sell the GT1 homologation cars, nowadays billionaires are beating down doors to buy fake race car versions of super cars (FXXK, P1 GTR etc) that are just track day trinkets with no links to actual racing.

Let me help you sweet lamb”.  Its patronizing to car people and the general population alike.  There is a very good reason these ideas never caught on.

Oh, they do build it like that...

This is like when a 92 year old dies. Sad but not tragic.

there’s that whole canal thing to deal with (you’ll need to ship your car across it)

My undoubtedly worthless two-cents: bring back 6-wheelers.

I have no problem with Musk smoking a joint on his own time, and his choice to smoke pot or not smoke pot is irrelevant to his role as CEO.
