Incidentally, Wester Ross is a region of Scotland. When GRRM wrote those books, he used as much British history and geography as possible.  

Dear God, no! CP.

Yeah, maybe. Last time this happened, the economy crashed and a lot of people lost their jobs. It’s possible that there is a localized bubble in LA/SF. If I were you, I wouldn’t refinance that yet, just let the equity build so long as it continues to do so. You don’t want to get caught out with a house that’s

I love this argument that the 911 has somehow transformed from a sports car to a GT car.  Car and Driver called the original 911 a GT car when they reviewed it back in 1965.  (Google it).  By and large, this distinction is meaningless.  

How does it compare to a Corvette Z06? They are priced similarly. If you wanted the most fun for your money, which would you take?

Yeah, you may have more knowledge than I do and you could well be correct. I don’t want to argue with you about it too much. This is the problem though:

Yeah, no. Homeownership has real benefits for families across generations, as your experience shows, and it potentially has benefits for communities by ensuring stability. What a home is not, though, is an investment that will make money for its occupant. Housing prices are extremely dependent on area income. If you

None of that is true, though.  The reason young people prefer experiences to possession is that experiences are cheap and possessions are expensive.  Eating at a nice restaurant might cost you $50.  Owning a home with a nice kitchen costs a lot more.  Here’s my prediction:  As younger millennials get more disposable

Why do people think car subscriptions are the future? I get that there are a lot subscription style services out there, Netflix, etc., but is there anything that is really comparable to cars? Is there any other physical product that people regularly share with others but pay a fee to be able to access? I get that Zipc

Take it up with Mike. It’s his intro. All I did was cut off the five useless clauses.  

The grill looks like a weird little mustache.  

Lawyers are very bad at being funny.  Sometimes, you get to put random shit like this in your briefs.  Most of the time, someone smarter than you deletes it.  

Yes, I think you’re right. It’ll be interesting to see who they market it to. The Ford GT is one path—very expensive, very exclusive. The other path is younger buyers—Gen X and older millennials who aren’t invested in the history of the Corvette in the way that boomers are.  As an older millennial, I am hoping for the

Yeah, I agree with that. I kind of hope the mid-engined design becomes the normal Corvette and not just some special version. Yesterday, C&D put it up it’s yearly Lightning Lap feature. The best they could get out of the Ford GT at Virginia International Raceway was a lap in 2:43.5 . In this test, they could only do

The existence of the Corvette ZR-1 makes me question the utility of a mid-engined Corvette.  I still want GM to make the mid-engined Corvette.  But the ZR-1 crushes nearly every competitor and for a third of the price.  

Dude, as I pointed out to Mike below, this is the lede.  All I did was cut off the five excess clauses in the first sentence.  If you think this is bad writing, it’s his writing you’re complaining about.  

Funny you should mention it, I am fun at parties!

That’s funny, Mike.  All I did to revise your opening paragraph was lop off the useless trivia you put up front.  The fact that you find the revised version choppy and bland is entirely your fault.  As you suggest, I will avoid your byline in the future.
