“The People Whose Existence is Dependent on Frightening the Public into Paying Large Sums of Money to Protect Itself Have Invented a New Threat to Try to Get More Money” was too long a headline, I guess.

Such an interesting time to try to start a service when NetJets and Marquis have already been doing this for years. Barriers to entry are high and, as Uber is learning, your differentiator can’t just be “a little cheaper and WE HAVE A SMARTPHONE APP!” Besides that, as communication and bandwidth improve, the physical…

True, but he also did it on salt in Utah in August as opposed to pavement in Texas in March, an absolutely massive difference in traction and density altitude. It’s apples to oranges all the way around, and “fastest” always comes with more than a couple qualifiers, but in the world of big speed doorslammers the GT is…

In a standing mile, and possibly street legal (it’s not, but close enough), ok. But the 300 mph barrier was broken by a small block chevy in a stock bodied firebird almost 20 years ago. I want to say there was one before that in the early 90's as well.

Must be why they always tell me to delay no more.

And I’ve been having to remind everyone since it came out, that the car is not called “the Ferrari la Ferrari”. It’s literally just “la Ferrari” which is meant to be a superlative (this is the most Ferrari Ferrari, it is THE Ferrari), but which, even in that context, won’t be a good name once they’ve made a…

Holy shit. Does anyone else wish the government had been this diligent in tracking down the bankers who broke the economy a few years ago?

just came in to say fuck the MTA and LIRR, they keep jacking up prices and the services get worse and worse every year

for some reason Jalopnik is just re-releasing corporate press releases, regurgitating Reddit shit, and once in a blue moon writing about pieces that are actually in tune with what this site was all about.

Considering they’ll probably sell 10 of them in the US, it wouldn’t make much sense to offer two transmissions.

That’s the only charge? Must be nice to be a White Girl™

I can’t believe the m4 gts is quicker. There is no way a customer BMW M4 GTS is quicker. They pulled a Ferrari for sure ...

I don’t see the lift.

Put a sock in it. We are screwed with Hillary, too.

Speaking as a a Brit, and a (former) Londoner, it’s an overpriced shitheap. Avoid at all costs.

I can’t post pics, but just google image search for Three Gorges Dam Boat Locks. No one picture seems to really capture the scale of the thing. It was a series of 5 boat locks. Here’s a time lapse video of just one lock.

I think you mean volume. The volume of displaced water is equal to the volume of the item displacing it. In this case, the hull of the ship that sits below the surface of the water. The mass will almost certainly change from ship to ship. Also, its early and my sarcasm detector isn’t on yet (it runs on coffee).

Breakfast Club was brutally 80's

what are we going to do about it tho? (i mean shit.. any random nutter nowadays can make a bomb and declare jihad)...

SAAB built some of the most complicated products possible off of GM and Subaru platforms. And the final products weren’t markedly better enough to justify the expensive both at the development and customer ends.
