Actually, I’d contend that all the travel will be within its own country. With no spares or foreign maintenance resources. Paid with rapidly depreciating rubles and no access to outside revenues or resources.

The lessors aren’t the only ones losing, though.

I don’t know why you’re in such an uproar over this, because this ain’t gonna stand.

They would have to be rich enough to take off work for weeks and idle their bobtails around the DC Beltway on $5 a gallon diesel.

This is why Elon Musk is suddenly so Fuck electric car subsidies!

Oh, that’s Hellish!

Really? In tight quarters, with multiple workers buzzing around filling orders, the chance of a cup getting knocked off a spigot handle are far from zero.

While there’s nothing more expensive than a cheap [name of expensive luxury or sports car here], the entry price of this Jag is cheap enough, and the parts value of its sundry bits if you give up hope are probably enough to offset most or all the price.

There was a longtime (in)famous troll here known as Tomato Face. After his original persona was eliminated, he came back with various trolling variations on tomato themes, then came back with less, let’s say, obvious allegorical noms de plume.

So you’re telling me Poor Jeff is only liquid for roughly 20 billion dollars!?!

I don’t pay more. And I do it by not only avoiding Amazon Prime, but by not shopping on Amazon altogether. My life is much easier that way.

This SX appears to be tastefully/minimally modified, and if it checks out you won’t be finding anything this nice/original anywhere near this price range.

That whole line of reasoning works until the guy who doesn’t give a shit if you hate it wants to sell it. Then all the things wrong with this matter. And if you’re not the person who built it, it’s just another guy’s project. No Dice.

I would like to see good racing at Texas Motor Speedway. But the last race was a fiasco:

To use technical definitions: Fuck Them.

Hopefully this doesn’t fuck up the future of an event designed to do genuine good for the community.

As long as I can find a full-size wheelwell for holding a flat tire, no car of mine will ever have a temporary or pint-sized spare. Straight junkyard wheels are still cheap.

I buy the concept, because I did this myself with a first-gen US-spec Escort.

Hell, I want to be done with this. I certainly wish to be done with this. But I don’t think we’re anywhere near done with this.
