A good chunk of these are unintentional strikes.

Exactly this test looks pretty stupid. They’re designed to take cars going semi-parallel to the rail and keep them within the rail. Nobody expects them to fully stop a vehicle coming at full speed and perpendicular to the rail.

To be fair, guard rails aren’t designed with collisions perpendicular to the rail in mind. They’re there so if someone is following traffic going parallel to the rails starts to veer off course it corrals them back in, they’re not meant to be some impenetrable wall you smash into like that. 

Nobody is arguing that insurance companies won’t or don’t like writing these 750K policies. I’m saying the cap doesn’t make it any easier for the insurance companies to make more money.

Thank you for repeating almost verbatim what was already in the article we all just read

as there aren’t any Olympic-level athletes using steroids now

And if you’re the insurance provider, it’s like counting cards in blackjack; $750k is less than one-fifth of the risk that [a crash] really poses, so you really can’t lose

Maybe you should read the linked article (not just the title) before stating that someone is misquoting it. Literally the third sentence:

“The procedure was part of a Food and Drug Administration-approved clinical trial.”

Except setting a precedent like that can get out of hand and outweigh the benefits really quick. They make basically nothing on gas, so a few un-questioned pricey repair bills here and there is going to wipe out any money they make on gas real quick. 

The lawyers throw fine print at the bottom of the ads to cover their asses:

Except there’s no way to actually make this anonymous. It’s not like we’re talking some Chevelle or Charger at Barrett Jackson. The community of collecting 60 year old Ferrari race cars with 8 digit price tags is small and I imagine a decent portion of that population knew who had the car before, and a decent portion…

Or the opposite could be true. Some uber-rich dude has a hard on for this car and doesn’t want to risk losing it to a competitor at auction and therefore offers up every penny he can justify in order to seal the deal. 

It’s kind of ironic at a glance to hear him say he’s too old and out of shape to do a driving show, meanwhile he’s carrying on doing a show about running his own farm.

Man it must be nice to be rich and famous. If any one of the average joes reading this article had done the same thing I’m sure we would be fighting to avoid jail time and keep our license...

I would submit any car with “limited” trim level that is in fact a primary trim level and no way “limited”

“I want a reliable daily driver with modern tech, heated seats and android auto”

Note to self, do not buy any detroit manufactured vehicle with a 1/28 build date because you know half the assembly line is going to show up 10 beers deep

Given how far back behind the headlights they cut and how much open space their is back there in the fender I’m wondering if there’s more to this story.

I think it might just be really poor wording in the article. I’m assuming what they mean is the numbers turned out to be illegitimate so more like the 75K was “un-deposited” from the tuners account, not that the check was somehow devised to initially be a check paid out of the seller’s account.
