I dig it... I like the Marauders and that’s a good cheap option I wasn’t really considering...

I saw the Democrats lose by a landslide in 2010, leading to 6 years of obstruction and losing what should have been a gimme election in 2016, lose 30 seats more than they should have in the house if they’d run a halfway decent candidate, then ride a wave of discontent with the 100% Republican government to 30+ house se…

The party chose this path during the Perez vs Ellison— Ellison was the right choice but the establishment won, and has continued to win nearly every intra-party battle since then. I used to always say that the only way Democrats were going to learn was to lose repeatedly— but that happened from 2010-2018 and they…

You know, that’s something I’d never considered but could be a major concern. The currency waters are murky as hell right now with the emergence of cryptocurrencies and uncertainty in the EU— probably not the best idea to potentially weaken our own while that’s already taking place...

There are really only a few SUVs that give me pause, and those Range Rovers are one of them. The fact they still handle has some appeal for me, and they’re nothing if not capable. That said I’ve heard nightmares about the reliablity... but I am a bit of a masochist and I do own one of the most reliable sports cars…

Oh absolutely, to the extent that they believe they can be. To a large extent Ford and GM both realize that this will lead to a slowdown in the market, especially in vehicles that are on the lower end of the cost-spectrum. Adding $1000/vehicle to the price of a Chevy Cruz is significant, while adding $1000/vehicle to…

What he can do to them he already did via the tariffs. GM got a 500M tax break from last years tax bill, and added $1B in materials costs due to the steel tariffs.

A truck fails in many ways versus a car.

A V8, hard top and some space. Right now I have two cars— a 2006 S2000 and 1977 Fiat Spider. I was trying to sell the Fiat late this summer and during the fall, but didn’t find a buyer.

The UFC will now have to find a new golden retriever.

They’ll sell more in China so they’ll produce them there now that the tariff situation has changed for the worse from a consumer perspective... Same reason BMW and Toyota produce a ton of cars here. Adding import costs to a car that already doesn’t compete in it’s market is probably a non starter for keeping it alive…

I couldn’t believe it, honestly. I’m all about supporting our soldiers for the sacrifices they make serving our nation, but in no way do we live in a Heinlein-esque Republic where service members are the final arbiter of whether or how people express their patriotism, and I didn't realize the games had gotten that…

Too late to get in on those 100:1 Superbowl odds?

I owned an XRS for a while... Great concept, only OK execution. The motor was a lot of fun to wring out, but you had to wring it out for decent acceleration. No torque whatsoever, so the only way to get a good launch is to slip the clutch from 4000+ rpm. Would get out-accelerated by the 5 speed V6 Tacoma of the day,…

Rent an all terrain motorcycle and ride it from one side of Nepal to the other over the course of 2 weeks, stopping along the way at monuments, natural wonders and to stay for a few days with my wife’s family in Kathmandu.

You brought him up in reference to many years after 9/11... Which happened in 2001, not 2008, under Bush, who had a solid 6 years to impose sanctions, change diplomatic relationships, make statements, etc. And you choose to bring up Obama. That’s pure whataboutivism. If you were here 2 years ago you would have seen…

Everyone is assuming you’re tomatoface because your first move is to bring up Obama when there were 6+ goddamn years in between 9/11 and his presidency; damn convenient how you magtards have stricken GWB’s presidency and from your memory. I guess there’s so many current GOP ties to the house of Saud you’ve forgotten…

They’re on the right path but not direct enough. The solution is a general strike. Nobody in Georgia fucking works until a new election is held.

Does it feel like a vehicle slotted in a lower tier luxury/performance wise, or does the quality & performance feel on-par with the bigger cayanne? Is it a little dull to push at it's limits or continually rewarding?

That’s a good value... Have you driven a 6 series to be able to compare them? I see 7s come up at fair prices all the time but love the look of the 6s and they’re a little harder to find sub-5K.
