If I had Jay Kay money? I’d probably spend about what Jay does.

I found your family portrait

I have sort of become a ford guy over time. I wasn’t raised in a family with any sort of specific brand loyalty, but my first car that was all mine was a 66 mustang. When it came time to buy a truck for my farm, the used market for heavy duty trucks is saturated with 350s and super dutys, so that’s what I ended up…

I still have one, though my wife won’t let me ride it enthusiastically anymore. If I had inoperable cancer, I would drive the thing everywhere until it killed me.

I learned on a 250 nighthawk and then after a year and a half I got a used FZ-1 from a buddy. It was around 11 at night when I finally took it home, and so I goosed it good on a freeway onramp with nobody around.

Looked down after a few seconds and I was doing 120 in 4th gear. That sobered me up plenty - welcome to…

Early adopters, techno geeks, and people who want the next big thing are the entire market for a $100,000+ SUV. “mainstream buyers” are about as far from the model X target market as you can get.

The point of these doors is that they’re going to sell more model X’s than any other 10 features combined.

Once you accept that as the premise (and it’s true, so you should), the rest is just “how do we engineer them to work as well as possible, given that we want to have to have them as an advertising exercise”.

No, because what if she were uglier and also the same quality of guest? Then she would be worse. At least she was fabulous looking and took some of the attention off the hideous bride and stuff.

SShush

They’ve booked 550 units at 2 mil a pop? That’s pretty impressive.

And I thought I could never be a professional athlete.

GET OVER HERE!!!!!

I literally cannot fathom how much work this took to make for no discernible benefit.

It’s like someone spent two years in a room working day and night, and came out with an elaborate drawing of a machine that will design a machine that makes tiny rubber penis mustaches.

This is my favorite part. The auto-box lever is just chillin off to the side.

I get about 30-35 on my FZ-1 ridden as much like a hoon as possible without exceeding the speed of light.

I agonized for weeks over this vs fiesta. I ended up getting the fiesta because it’s more capable, but TBH there’s a large part of me that still wishes I had got the abarth.

I’m trying to convince my wife to get an abarth for her next car so I can be like

The exterior surfaces are also vomit resistant in case passerby see a juke without being mentally prepared.

Nah, you’re making it sound all complex and stuff. See that guy over there in the corner? that’s fred, he does all of the car software stuff. The rest of us just make spreadsheets.

By any chance did you run them on a dyno? Because I hear that cleans them up :)
