32, 195lbs, we gross more than that, 3 kids, 1 dog, 3 chickens (because we’re fucking hipsters like that), 1 manual Toyota Matrix (bought used) and one automatic Mercedes R350 (also bought used). So yeah, I guess I'm sorry Mergio...

This. Car enthusiasts are the worst hypocrites. They whine constantly about how nobody makes manuals, but they largely buy Camrys and CR-Vs.  The mavericks who “live in the fast lane” actually drive CVT WRXs.

No one is buying new cars with manuals. We are great at mouthing off, but none of us actually vote with our wallets. I could have bought a brand new Cayman S with a manual, but I didn’t.

Ha! 41, 165 lbs, well... you got the income about right; too uninterested in picking up dog shit and boarding it during travel not to have a dog, too ugly to have a wife or kids... aw, now you made me feel bad.

29, 6'5", 210, $48,000 1 kid and 2 dogs. 

Two seat, mid engine, crossover with terrible handling. I’d buy it.

Guessing he’s single with no kids, has a gambling problem, a cocaine habit, and only dates strippers and hairdressers. A true connoisseur of only the finest things.

First, you should go and work really hard something that no one else has ever been able to do. Then when you are really close to achieving your goals have someone try to F it all up for you. Then you would know how it feels for Mr. Musk. But you would of course have to work really hard on something first so you will…

It feels good to get got. 

I like to think my tone transcends irony and rewards only the deep thinkers. 

He’s not saying he failed or should quit, there comes a time to hand it off for the next phase. He has plenty of other interests that could use his dedicated passion. Manufacturing bottlenecks don’t seem like they are “Musk-worthy”.

So much this. Many dozens of this. Multitudes.

I read somewhere that the Queen likes bright colors for two reasons, 1) to project an air of sunny cheerfulness when she’s attending something not somber, and 2) she knows she’s always surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, and people want to see her, and she’s relatively small, so she wants to stand out.

They used that style grille on the 08 MKX and never understood why it was dropped in favor of that baleen looking piece of crapola.

This was actually the Ford Interceptor. And I love your description, “art deco freight train”. I thought of the Interceptor as the automotive equivalent of a stainless steel .45, but art deco freight train sounds soooo much cooler.  

Park it next to the new GNX

Let’s comparify:

2002 Me loved that concept car. 2002 Me wanted that car in a way that is legally obscene in at least 23 states. 2010 Me still loved it enough that, had it been available, he’d have bought it used instead of the 2007 MKZ he ended up with.

A guy I work with drives a 2001 S-class, which is already pretty cool in my book. A few weeks ago he shows up in a goddamn M45, and I’m like wait you have 2 cool cars?? He says, no I’m just borrowing MY SISTER’S M45.
