That being said, I love Tavarish’s “Get this for the price of that” pieces. Depreciation is an amazing thing.

Maybe because of fuel economy concerns and modern aerodynamic modelling software, all designs are starting to look similar. Maybe someday soon all cars will have identical shapes that perfectly minimize aerodynamic resistance and perfectly maximize all possible airflow advantages. And they’ll be driverless. And we’ll…

Exactly; you aren’t getting the “SUPER AWESOME ITALIAN SUPERCAR FOR THE PRICE OF A USED FORD EXPLORER!” You’re getting a ten year old entry level Maserati for the price of a two year old top-of-the-line Escalade or LX570 with significantly less miles on it. Suddenly it doesn’t sound like such a bargain, does it?

What lightly-used SUV’s does CarMax sell for $50k?

I would haved fucked the Sasquatch without the car, but whatever.

Ok, HONESTLY without trying to lay out the double-entendre, it does have a cute tailpipe. (Not a dragon, promise).

No, I think this is what I meant:

It didn’t come out as bad as the concept - it came out worse. It looks like a cheap facsimilie of a Juke in the front, and a Dihatsu from the rear. Look at those tail lights!! Holy shit they put that crap on a Bently and expect people to buy it? NO, NO, NO. I don’t give a damn about the luxury interior. That’s the…

Finally, somebody getting down to work on the important things.

This owner gets it. You want to make your project someone else’s project, you’ve got to price it where the potential buyer has a sunk cost in it that he won’t mind losing if the project goes bust, or that he can make up for (mostly) if he has to dump it, too. NP all the way.

OOhhh. I’m down with that. Or how about Chistmas-trash, with sweepings of Douglas Fir, and Chocolate?

That’s the bastard!

You always find something that stinks on a big pile of garbage, right?

Sweet. If you like shipping, I strongly suggest that you check out gcapitan. I didn’t put the link in b/c I’m not a shill, but it is a very interesting site.

Mississippi holdin’ out, bro!!! Seriously, the Alaska outlier says a lot, doesn’t it? And how did Ferrari sneak in ahead of Subaru in Washington?

It all started with those fucking pregame robot animations. I swear to god, once they realized they could do that without becoming a laughing stock, anything was possible.

I agree except where you called it a ‘prelude’.

That’s a good idea. How many listening devices do you think are hidden there already?

That’s probably 1/10 the number of Russian ships in the same area on any given day. Folks, the icecaps are melting. There is a northern passage that goes around the globe. It will be the passage of choice for global shipping. Firsties with the mosties gets it. Get on board.

Then what’s the point of pushing them through the radio, too? I’ve never had a problem hearing them in the car before.
