Everyone loves to make fun of “protecting the local wetlands” until their neighborhood floods.

“Typical upper-crust thinking.”

It’s easy to demonize the neighbors as petty or whiny, but maybe people are getting tired of the wealthy not following the rules that they were taught to follow?

Guy spent $100,000 on a vanity project for his kid and purposely avoided the government because he didn’t feel like he should pay the government a few hundred…

I mean, we know who’s in the wrong. Like it or not, the dad didn’t figure out if one was necessary and/or didn’t apply for a permit. Unsurprisingly, most villages/towns/cities don’t want you to install paved race tracks in your back yard. So they require you to get a permit. He didn’t do it, and built it anyway. Would…

The ultimate ground speed check: Tales from the SR71 Blackbird.

Any story BEFORE slideshows (which unironically this will become) and those with over a dozen backlinks to mostly unrelated content.

It’s amazing how 15 years ago, this would have been absolutely groundbreaking. The fact that we don’t care about a car that can do under 10 second 1/4 mile times directly from the factory- What a time to be alive!

Kind of hope they conceived. Such a story for little Schuylkill to hear one day. Legends. 

About that Chick-fil-a not flip flopping.

This is confounding. If you are an exec at any company you are now forced into a terrible corner. DEI isn’t about “woke” it’s about broadening company appeal. It’s basic marketing. Everybody likes to feel represented by the companies they deal with. The far right has enough leverage to stomp out DEI initiatives…

“Lotus is in a really rough place right now ... “

I honestly don’t see how doing anything but ignoring the few internet idiots makes any sense for any of these companies. Of course any corporation is going to make some sort of business decision around “which of these choices will make us more money” and choose to alienate the smaller group - I’m not naive enough to…

This was a surprise to whom exactly?

Its not what Geely wanted - they wanted a lower production cost “British” Porsche - but Lotus should have remained small and sporty. The pivot to EVs and mainstream lux has taken too long, has 0 public awareness, and is probably going to result in a shuttering of their assets or sale to someone else. Looking at Morgan…

I just don’t want to think about my cars this much.

You gotta be drunk to put with all those kids. Like my bus drivers back in the day.

I hate the LVCVA for this. It would have been cheaper and much less stupid to just extend the Monorail go to the airport. I blame the pandering to the taxi companies too, since they are the reason it didn’t go there when it was first built.

Surprised those walls aren’t full of ads.

I was going to say the same thing. For the right person — say someone that works in one town and drives 300 home to another every weekend -- something like this would be an effortless, comfy highway cruiser that you could drive for years without wearing out or depreciating your daily driver. And even cockroaches would…
