I was eager to take it for a test drive, and really indicate the shit outta some turns.

This is getting very tedious. I understand that’s your point.

I have been lucky enough to encounter this magic machine cruising down the highway while on a road trip. The best thing is that it’s just as cool as one imagines it to be. You can’t help but grin, point and giggle. A thing of beauty...

Ok. I appreciate your considered response. I get what you’re saying, but, I’m sorry to say I remain unconvinced. When you argue against commonly accepted and proven economic principles and concepts dating back to the Romans your barrier is that much higher. That doesn’t mean I’m unwilling to change my mind. If you…

Wow.

Short answer? They’re slow. On a nice, tight, street track you don’t notice as much that they are way slower than f1, wec, and all that. That said the Mexico City short track was pretty cool.

Indubitably. I can read that ‘ground speed check’ story that was everywhere for a while again and again and still grin. Might go do that right now...

Yep. In London it is not uncommon to see millionaires on the bus and the subway (tube). The concept of the bus being a ‘shame train’ is so petty and small-minded that people laugh when I tell them that’s how many Americans view public transport.

That is truly disturbing. I’ve got ties to a place that used to see -50 pretty much every year and was well below zero most of the winter. Don’t really see proper -50 come through any more and it rains in January there these days... I find the January rain very disconcerting, gives you this feeling that something’s…

Thanks! You’re a sweetheart.

You have a very limited understand of any of the subject you are conjecturing on.

Lost? Actually applies to both subject and target, that was the joke. I ride horses a little and have ridden some ex-racehorses. Fabulous when you let them run as fast as they can, not fun around cars... Also got a plate on a brutal motocross bike one time, and it was no fun at all around town. Stopping and starting…

and that’s not at at the price of a brand new reusable Falcon 9, not one that is 30% cheaper after being reused.

That makes way more sense! I think in mph and read it as 160mph, my apologies. 160mph is unreasonable on pretty much every public road. Things get very different the faster you go, especially how long it takes to get rid of all that speed/energy. (100 in an 80 is pretty common stuff, but still shouldn’t be encouraged,…

That’s a bald-faced assertion

You ever ride a racehorse in traffic? It sucks. Bad.

160? speed trap? Fines?

>Furthermore, maintenance is far more sophisticated than just letting the road sit until it becomes undrivable.
