Purists scoff, but the TR8 is the hairy-chested sports car that the TR6 always aspired to be. And I say that as a guy who owned a TR6.

Please. It’s a chiseled slab of a car.

That’s a little more commitment to the bit than I’d want to contribute.

I’m more of the “wreak havoc and make the fuckers pay” school of protest, rather than the “make myself suffer and watch them ignore me” train of thought.

One thing I will say about W is that he recognized, as a Texan who was very familiar with the owl bidness, was that the goal of energy independence wasn’t as simple minded as “drill baby drill.”

I’m a former Mainer. Lived up there for 35 years. You’re not getting plates without 1)liability insurance 2)comprehensive safety inspection and 3) previous registration records from Maine or other states.

You’ve got this whole thing backward. Like many folks, you seem to think that this is all about GM not wanting to give infotainment features like CarPlay and Android Auto to you.

I smell bullshit.

I know independent truckers have a hard life. But any driver who buys that story isn’t a dupe; he’s being willfully ignorant. Like playing plausible deniability cranked to 11 willfully ignorant.

Yeah, right. A “third party” diverted the trucks. And the honest, God-fearin’ truck drivers didn’t know what was happening. While the trucks were moved to an elaborately-disguised depot where unsuspecting truck operators were duped out of dropping two trailer loads of untraceable liquor with no tax stamps.

I guess that is asking a lot.

2nd Gear — You’re going to have real problems getting the oil industry into the “drill baby drill” game if it’s already capping hundreds of thousands of producing wells because they’re currently not economically viable and 77% of the remainder are producing less than equivalent of 15 barrels of oil per day. Current sof…

No, you’ve got it right. That’s the story they’re selling.

I need this car.

You may not know that Andretti offered $300 million to buy into Williams. In return, Williams told Andretti they’d be happy with nine figures worth of investment as a passive investor. But if he wanted any say in the team for those kind of bucks, he could kindly fuck off.

But they’re not in trouble financially.

They’re not afraid of Andretti.

Once again proving that you can build a car faster than anyone can buy if you put your mind to it.

Thanks. I just did copy/paste and got the character salad above.

One who’s already said the 100-200% tariffs are “rhetorical” — e.g. bullshit.
