I hate Trump far more than most - BUT - what possible fucking difference does it make that this airplane once, in the past, belonged to a disgraced pedophile who died in prison? It hasn’t been Epstein’s  airplane for *years* now - he died five years ago, and I would assume that the plane was long gone by then. It’s…

1000lbs++ of flatpack IKEA kitchen in the back of my Mercedes wagon recently , with another couple hundred pounds plus on the roof rack. No problem at all, and with self-leveling, no butt dragging. Hatches and wagons for the win!

I am just fine with my cars having two modes “on”, and “off”.

Like the panels line up to start with. Seems like you’d have a 50:50 chance of improving the fit of the thing.

I really, truly hope that the Ukranians actually loaded pizzas onto that thing before they sent it. “Here ya go Comrades, lunch is served!” But revenge is a dish best served COLD.

There are no professional writers here anymore, just kids cosplaying as journalists. Tom and Rob excepted, but their day jobs isn’t being writers (presumably).

But SUVs are “safe”, right?

Or you could just get an e92 328i and enjoy the ride for a hell of a lot less money. And enjoy one of the finest inline-sixes ever made.

There is a big wide gulf between bungie jumping or reef diving and going 12.5Kft under the ocean in an experimental submarine.

At this point Trump hallucinates more than ChatGPT.

All you have to do is look at who OWNS most of the big mainstream media outlets these days. Editorial independence is a cute concept that is long gone.

The board is literally made up of Musk’s friends and family. They are not going to do a damned thing about him. I also assume he owns enough stock that the rest of the shareholders can’t do much about him either. Herding the cats that are shareholders is very difficult, at least until the bottom falls out of the stock…

I’ve been saying he’s the reincarnation of Howard Hughes for a couple years now. I just wish he would get to the “recluse” stage of the crazy rich dude life cycle.

The bad takes around here get more weirdly interesting all the time.

Why are they honking? What is the purpose?

A bit over-accessorized for my taste, but lovely non-the-less.

To me this is indistinguishable from “rolling coal”.

Do people just not even look at what they are signing? I have bought a LOT of cars in my life - a dozen new ones, several dozen used ones, many of those at dealerships too. Every single time the paperwork VERY clearly shows the price of the car, on a new car MSRP and the prices of any options, markups (or discounts),…

The Bentley manual is really much, much better. Hard to find though. Try the used bookshop in Maranello. It helps if you lubricate the proprietors with a couple good bottles of wine.

There is a hell of a difference between signing up to do something that is on it’s face incredibly dangerous, like I dunno, going down to see the Titanic in person, and getting on a commercial airliner. And the releases these people signed made it very clear that there was a very, very real risk of death to all involve…
