Holy shit that’s nuts.

Think of the sonic boom like the wake created by a boat as it moves along a coastline. The wake is continuous, but the wave reaches any specific spot on the shore only once.

This highlights a glossed-over reason about why Lexus was able to break into the luxury market and be successful so quickly - dealer experience is super important. It sounds like the dealer being a shithead is one of the main driving factors behind this whole debacle. People buying new cars (especially higher-end…

And when you want to have a show for the local news crews there to justify your budget increase requests. 

But they were fireworks, illegal or not, they could have got like a big dumpster put them in it and filled it with water to render them safe for transport.

When you only meant to blow the bloody door off.

Bentley needs to be more like Koenigsegg and build a car that’s so slow it only needs a one-speed transmission. Very irresponsible.

Maine, having more summer-only homes than anywhere else in the nation, had a HUGE problem with copper theft long before catalytic converter theft became a thing. But the same restrictions…

Awww, ain’t that cute.

Oh for fuck’s sake. So the absolute worst perpetrator of charging junk fees is going to weasel out of abiding by the law. Great, the application to car dealers was the only reason I was excited to hear about this.

FWIW I get mad at you guys all the time but I thought this story was delightful and I’m juuuust not getting the friction!

Monorail!

Seriously, if they just proposed digging from the Gulf of Mexico at the bottom of Texas to Pacific at the bottom of California, it would get a lot of support from the build a wall people, just tell them we’re building a moat.
