If they sell the cargo version, I could see those being popular with small delivery/catering type businesses, say wedding cake bakers or florists. There’s a lot of area for logos and the happy shape will attract attention on its own (at least for the first few years).

Creative interpretation of the rules that didn’t occur to anyone else to allow some advantage (or dramatic failure) is the thing I like most about racing.

Might hide their ID, but not so much their id!

Is all that cost factoring in a lot of extra bracing, insulation, and welding to prevent the squeaks, creaks, shakes, and rattles that made themselves known even over a bellowing V8?

I know a lot of people who thought having kids would make them happy and only one of them actually seems happy with that choice (though they all love their kids). Luckily, I was never subject to whatever that base instinctive drive is that overrides all reason and sense nor did I ever feel so empty that I thought only…

I have an ‘08 SE with a manual. It still sucks to drive and the seats are less comfortable than my GR86. Whoever fucking located the lumbar support is apparently not familiar with human anatomy as it’s way too damn high. The cushions are also not all that great. I bought it as I needed a car and it was the best thing…

This is one of the big reasons I wanted the GR86—no bullshit “safety” features that enable asshole eunuchs to pay even less attention and aggravate anyone else with incessant beeps and noises that would drive me to road rage. I mean, you can get it with the Eyesight stupidity if you want to pay several grand next time…

I’ve been keeping an eye on what’s going on and it seems like premium manuals are the hardest to get, so I wish you the best of luck in that! I got a base manual in Neptune and really lucked out. I built one online as soon as it came up on the website after Thanksgiving, the closest dealer emailed me the next day, and…

It’s built by Subaru, though I don’t know how interconnected their supply chains are.

I got mine shortly after New Years. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, but waiting definitely sucks.

Reduce engine load. That’s really it. Most modern cars have a real time mileage feedback display that can be used to learn better driving behaviors. One I see constantly is: someone stuck behind some CRV eunuch and riding their ass. Back the fuck off—where are you going to go? Look ahead. Red light coming up? Lift off…

Thanks. All I could find was numbers, not much about where its real value was. It truly is a loss, then.

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.
