I have an S550, the interior is very nice.

New Fords do. My Mustang has one in the trunk. It’s for when you run out of gas and need to fill with a can since they have that ‘e-z fill’ no gas cap thing.

Yeah but why buy this when you can have a V8?

I wish I had that color...though silver does hide the filthy my car is covered in pretty damn well.

They are literally the worst.

Even if your worst nightmares came true, we design these things to take excessively hard landings without you being hurt. Don’t worry about it.

Who cares?

Thanks to area ruling the tailcone necks down severely. There’s not a lot of space between the engines, and it’s filled with stuff: wiring, environmental systems, etc. Also the baggage stores underneath the engines.

Plainsman probably had more to do with the Plains, as Beechcraft was/is located in Wichita, KS.

No, we’re talking about a hypothetical 250/250ish turbocharged one.

Your point? The Fiesta’s sweet spot is right around $25k or so, and the Abarth is just plainly too expensive: look at how cheap they are used. A loaded Mustang Ecoboost is $30k. $31k would be too much for a turbo’d FRS. If it started at $25k with a turbo? Perfect. I’d literally own one right now.

$30,995 would be too much unless it was very well equipped. But at like $28k? I would have bought one over the car I did buy.

I suppose I can technically call myself a rocket scientist, I have a degree in aerospace engineering to back it up, but I engineer planes.

Yes? Do you want to protect the driver or not? If you do, go to that extreme. Don’t stop with some half measure that won’t work. It’s not like an open halo like we’ve seen is any better for emergency egress. It still needs to be removed to get out in a hurry.

I have a 30k car and a garage. A lot of people do.

Explosive bolts would so work in a car. In fact, the SLS AMG has them on the door in the event of a rollover.

Huh?

I decided that I just wasn’t being asked ‘why didn’t you buy the V8?’ enough so I got an Ecoboost

They’re old. Modern business jet interiors are incredible.

Except you can’t, and that’s the point. Even if you had the money right now you can’t buy a 911R because they’re all spoken for.
