I’m in CO and have seen this car on the road, being driven and sounding as one would expect. And just think, you could be one of these guys and get all the girls.

With the amount of time and effort spent here, a person could get halfway to actually buying a real Ferrari by instead operating a backhoe for Sam’s Alright Construction Company and socking away the money.

The power-to-weight ratio of these cars is spot on. It is worth remembering that white sneakers and golf shirts obsess bhp headline numbers, but what matters is that ratio.

You know how rental car companies charge you something like $8 per gallon when you return the car with 4/5 of tank? I wonder how they’ve managed to apply that philosophy to EVs, because I’m sure they have.

They sell this stuff as a lifestyle choice ($110k, for a Jeep? - that’s a statement beyond its mere driving qualities) so yes, people are going to consider what it says about the owner.

I refuse to click on that video, based on the Oprah-arms-open-behold-my-content-pose.

This is like saying laboratories will eventually grow human organs to replace Uncle Harry’s liver.

In the last several years our beloved MAGA world has moved from virology and epidemiology experts to gender affirming care experts (with sub-specialties in genetics and endocrinology), and now they’re global trade experts.

I’d love to share this story with some of my European relatives, but that part of the family tree mysteriously disappears around 1939.

The completely incautious attitude of people getting out of their cars is 100% China, by the way.

I’ve driven plenty of modified MB cars from this era and owned a few stock ones too... These are great to drive and sit in: visibility, materials, firm but not harsh suspension, well-considered dimensions, etc.

Hard to believe all the grief that Jaguar got with its rebrand when we have this sort of bad faith advertising to compare it to.

Right?

Through the 1980s whoever drove this narrow-body air-cooled 911 was probably king shit, had a pocket full of Peruvian Marching Powder, and was friends with everyone in the room.’

Uh huh. What ‘family’ wants to ride with dad in his second ‘weekend warrior’ car (eyeroll) as he ‘goes fast’?

I still remember a delivery company I worked for a gazillion years ago that utilized those small Nissan pickups. They all had 250k on the odometer, manual transmissions, and still drove wonderfully even after all the abuse teenagers gave them. What the happened to this company?

That car chase scene made me want to learn the slide whistle.

Remember in 2008 when Microsoft tried to buy Yahoo! for $40 billion? But Yahoo! refused, because their management and company was just so (what’s the word?) awesome. And then, just a few years ago, Yahoo! was sold to Verizon for only $4.8 billion?

Just got back from vacation in Mexico and - after hanging around dozens of Canadians at the pool - it is clear that about 75% of that group want to push everyone in the current administration off a cliff and then burry them in junked out Teslas.
