To get “euro” levels of power you’re either doing deep-dive head work (cams, valves, etc) or going forced induction... it is not a cheap endeavor.

You misunderstand me- there are many fantastic cars in this price range that you should by all means buy. But picking one because you think it makes you look rich will only highlight that you aren’t. I am not rich, so I’m not too well acquainted with the automotive preferences of the Nantucket set.. but that sounds…

That’s actually gorgeous, I gotta admit.

Depends on where you live too, if people are accustomed to seeing the newer stuff the older cars won’t be fooling anyone. (not that they can’t be great cars) If you’re in Oklahoma, maybe someone would be impressed with your mid-90s S500; in a city area not so much.

A: None of them, a sub-10k used car that you think makes you look rich really makes you look like a poor trying to look rich.

Petworth is bananas these days- still pretty affordable by DC standards but it’s really blowing up. Some great restaurants and bars up there, though some good ones have also been driven out by rent (RIP Domku).

HItler’s legacy in parts of Asia especially is.. complicated

Well yes, like the entirety of the Cold War would be a great starting place.. the lineage of modern Islamic extremism starts in Iran 1978 (which was the result of our coup in 53) and Afghanistan 1979-89. This policy is nothing new at all...

Pretty much, yea. Fuel extraction and construction probably no... and waste is an issue for many reactor types. The newest stuff it’s not a real problem though- check out the recycled fuel “breeder”reactors like France uses. Burying the waste is definitely not a viable long-term solution.

Well, if it’s on a nuclear-only grid then that would be accurate, actually...

¡Fiesta!

The S3 is a few k more expensive and has 60 less hp while weighing more, and I doubt you could really get an M235 into that price range. I don’t disagree with your conclusion on the whole, though.

fiesta sts weigh under 2.5k lbs?

Just pay attention to the tournament, qualifying isn’t a big thing to watch that closely

If it’s queso fresco or oaxacan maybe it’s acceptable. But bagged shredded ‘three cheese blend’ is more likely what you’ll see.

Please, everyone knows San Diego was discovered and settled by the Germans. I’ll take your culinary opinions on sausages and pickled cabbage products, but that’s about it.

If your tacos contain rice and beans and lettuce and even cheese, something is going horribly wrong wherever you get tacos.

Why haven’t there been more recipes lately?

vai corinthians!

Don’t forget fridge/freezer in that analysis...
