The article calls out that they have $1b in cash on hand, and yes, still bankruptcy. 

This is one obvious endgame, right?

...and I have read tens of them.

Not my guy.

I am reading many attacks on Brad for his stance here. Lots of justifications for why the livery is how it is. Sure, a plain livery is easy to find spots for lots of sponsor logos on. That doesn’t change the fact that this is a lame livery.

I would estimate just south of $3000 in parts cost; I DIYed, otherwise I would estimate $2500 for an indie shop to do all this, the majority of which would be rod bearings.

I, too, drive my M5 through Ohio winters. It has 214,000 miles. In the last two years, I have replaced...

This is inaccurate.

Mine was just treated to rod bearings and a slew of other preventative maintenance at 210k! It will hopefully be ready for the next 80,000 miles....

The Alaskan railway to this day uses howitzers mounted on rail cars to clear mountain slopes from unintended avalanches.

Gateway’s website us showing the lowest cost model at $120,000, but also shows a “starting at” price of $95,000. Sounds like "we can option it cheaper for you, but don't".

Also- we f'd up, yes, and are headlong into making amends. 

I hear you. If you look through the early days of the aforementioned Facebook group, you'll see some felt I was a little too casual with my verbiage. I am making an honest effort.

Familiar, yes. Accurate.

No, just me. Long time reader, first time poster that I didn’t read the Kinja tutorial apparently.
