Lightly subsidized at best, but also a perfect example of a subsidy working exactly the way they are supposed to. A company which has done every single thing you would hope a subsidized company would do:…

First of all, I'm saddened to hear this news - my condolences to the Warrior's wife & daughters in this hard time.
I've got quite the Ultimate Warrior story for all of you. When I was in 6th grade, I lived in Foster City, California - just a little South of San Francisco. Every month or two, when the WWF would make…

Which reminds me; Brian reported on this last year, but since then, the /vp/ Pokemon game has updated quite a bit.

My dad had an S-Class Mercedes with a manual transmission back in the 80's. It was a custom AMG 'show car' imported from Germany back when you could do such things. 540SE AMG wide body conversion, one of only a handful of four door wide bodies ever to exist...

Moderate liberal and Texan here. For the first time in...... ever? I can finally say that I fully agree with Rick Perry on this. Politically he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing this. The state benefits. Tesla benefits.

Did he pay!!!!? Better than the girl who made that security guard shit her pants I guess...

The Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead had a $12K option that made its roof the sky at night with thousands of stars.

"I want to play a game. The device strapped to your head projects a realistic driving scenario. Or does it? You must arrive at the end of the dockyards before your wife is crushed by the shipping container dangling from the crane above her. Your car is filled with explosives, so if you try to escape, the game is over.…

Jay Leno has the connections, the money and the taste to restore, create or just keep the most amazing cars ever for another generation to see. Not to mention the current one. A frequent guest at Cars and Coffee, who never comes empty handed.

Right? This thread is over before it even started

We're working on a new Kinja feature where I come to people's houses, hold their hands, and explain the story to them very, very slowly.

Now this is interesting. Contrary to what others on here have stated, Texas is not run by donations from dealers groups. Texas is run by donations from a wide range of business interests.
