I am sure it was above and beyond other auto makers in period. I know now, not personally, that you get tons of little trinket and collectables especially with the rarer models. Shmee150 has shared the stuff he got as well as friends of his allowing him to show off all the swag that comes with some of these cars.

Fair point, but I think you can tract this back to probably the 80's or so. But also at least with modern Ferrari they do try and make the new car experience special, which for the money you are paying they damn well better lol.

Best part is my asshole now has a healthy green glow, well their doctors tell me it’s healthy.  So whos not getting lost in the dark anymore....THIS GUY

TO be fair the whole “ownership experience” is a large part of buying any super car. And frankly the more expensive the car, or exclusive the brand, the more you get out of it. I mean on the extreme end you have a company like Pagani, they will happily do just about ANYTHING you want. Mike Yin, I think that’s his…

Awe you must be new here lol. THIS is how government contracts work, unless you spend every penny then you can’t ask for more money next time. It’s how you get the $500 toilet seats people have joked about since the 80's. We are dealing with it right now with TxDOT grant money. They are adding medians EVERYWHERE in…

LUCKY. I crawled away with the Herps, 3 types of COVID, Super Aids, and violent diarrhea so violent it ate hole through my toilet I even had to install a seatbelt. I now have to register my bathroom as a Superfund site and the scientists say it wont be safe for human habitation until sometime in the mid 2050's, thank…

lol yeah not the best looking. And while the V12 sounds nice the screaming of the GMA T.50 V12 sounds so much nicer.

Yeah that’s generally the way it works most places, hence the pull into the intersection while waiting to turn left, you’re guaranteed to get to make your turn.  Unless you live in one of those strange places where the oncoming line doesn’t turn red when the left turn arrow does. I think I have seen it like that once…

Maybe GMA, Gordan Murray Automotive.

Yeah I think everyone goes through yellow lights, I know I do 100% of the time locally if I am familiar enough with the intersection that I know I will have time to be through or 90% through the intersection before it turns red. And yes even where I am, running a red light is common, typically it’s a column of cars…

You might be right on the 7 day thing. The “conventional wisdom” I heard is for regular smokers it was like 30 days. That said for heavy smokers it could stay in your system longer, and the more body fat you have could lead to it being in your system longer.

I assume the 38k for the wing is because it’s, hopefully, carbon fiber.  And carbon fiber always has a premium.  But otherwise I agreee.

I think they banned them here, I would have to go back and find the actual wording on the amendment, because it was a 3rd parts issuing the tickets, not law enforcement, and at least here we banned them prior to 2019 because of that.

Thankfully I knew about them, and our main street is well lit at night, you could legit drive with no headlights perfectly fine, you should NOT do that, so it wasn’t as shocking as it could have been if the street lights weren’t there.

LOL guess we grow em smarter down here in Texas /s the area around where I live was historically farm and ranch land so a lot of the thick forest was clear out 100+ years ago, now further out in the county deer and hogs are still more of a problem.

That makes sense, that’s the way it was near my moms old subdivision, though most of that is recently gone for more subdivisions.  

Well to be fair you can only make a truck, Hummer, or SUV so aerodynamic.   But also a fast EV, well its easy and boring.  You can make just about any EV a sub 3 second 0 to 60 vehicle.

Pretty much, it’s the primary issue with EV’s he moment. More range means more battery means more weight, which means more battery to still have decent range. I mean if they can vastly up the efficiency of the EV Motors, that might help, but they are already up in the 85% efficiency area, and I think there are things…

I 100% would have gotten one of those lol, the right on red without fully stopping, hell I do it almost daily when safe. I might have got that last one depending on what led up to you getting it. Like if I am at an unprotected left with a yellow arrow waiting to turn, I have been in the intersection when it turned red…

lol that’s wild.  We don’t really see them in town proper.  But you drive out from where I was coming and it’s still in “town” but there are more forested areas, but this was right across the street from a cemetery and way more into town that I had ever seen one.
