Thanks, that’s what I was wondering about. I figured there had to be more to it than the bare statistics I was finding elsewhere, but mostly what I could find was numbers, not its meritorious service history or more important intangible value.

Thanks, that’s what I was looking for. All I could find was that it was big and the only one (though there’s another unfinished fuselage somewhere).

I care about planes, just not flying VW Beetles and box cars (as opposed to “Bock’s Car”), so all I knew about this thing is that it’s big and the only one. On the scrolling updates on other websites, its status was continually being updated and I couldn’t understand why it was considered so important. With all the…

While he may be a little rose-colored, Spielberg does a lot of things very well and being great with characters is right up there. The original Bullitt really lacked in that department and . . . really, everything but a chase scene that is great if viewed in context, though long since surpassed. I don’t see this as…

One of the reasons I didn’t pursue a career in Industrial Design was that I like to design things for me and, since I’m a bit unusual, what I want isn’t generally going to have much commercial potential, at least not at the prices I’d need to sell them at. This guy designed something for him. I hope he finds buyers,…

There must be something I’m missing with this. With all the coverage this thing has been getting on all different news sites and continual updates of its continued existence (or not?), I’m apparently the only person who doesn’t get it, especially in light of people dying, threat of WW3, and inspiring stories of badass…

It is—Bugatti is their top-tier product.

I’ve seen a Veyron and Zonda up close and that matches my observation, too. The most surprising thing about the Bugatti was how small it was. With the Zonda, it was the awe-inspiring craftsmanship.

Seems ridiculous to change to lower gearing for “back roads” in a car that makes about 1500 hp. Not my thing, but at least it’s a lot better looking than the Veyron. The interior, however, is somewhere between boring and ugly.

That Civic will be a conversation starter, but I doubt the moron who bought it will like where it goes if there’s anyone there who’s honest and doesn’t care about saving the feelings of an idiot. They were underwhelming even when new. There’s a reason the only way they are remembered as being impressive is due to…

For way less, you could go really nuts and get a whole new improved chassis for it.

It’s a Jeep thing. You wouldn’t understand.

The kind of person who would buy those ironic(?) cyber nuts are the kind of person who thinks Musk’s referencing of woefully outdated cliche jokes (because he doesn’t seem to have his own) are funny. They might not be a Tesla product, but it certainly fits like it could be. I don’t think I’ve seen a single set of…

Lack of these terrible safety features that even when working properly are obnoxiously annoying is legitimately one of the reasons I bought mine in spite of its inability to handle a roof rack. Eyesight comes with or is at least available on the automatic, but anyone getting an automatic in one of those gets what they…

Well, this might explain some of the behavior of CRV eunuchs, but it certainly doesn’t cover it all. Got to love these “safety” features that aren’t necessary if people simply drive as they’re supposed to.

Every time I see one, I think it’s a bigger RAV4, except that every Urus I see is some boring color and RAV4s are commonly a stand-out bright blue.

You could jam this whole thing up with Franco Sbarro’s surreal art projects.

I needed this laugh today!

If it were a classic Lamborghini, I’d maybe be sad, but it’s just a (couple of) relatively common overpriced VW(s).

If you have a place for it, engine stands are cheap. Get one and a used engine and manual for it—maybe you can get a blown one for free—that you can take apart and scrap or rebuild and maybe sell for profit, but either way, if you have a mechanical mind, there’s nothing like seeing and doing to really understand the…
