Seriously, I’m all for hating on billionaries, but as billionaire yachts go, this is pretty cool.

Probably Lambos.

Even though I could never afford it (obviously) I think this is ridiculously awesome. I feel like Jalopnik currently has the biggest disconnect in terms of how writers see their takes being received, and what their actual reading audience is. Most of us like to see cool stuff, especially if it was repurposed like this.

So they’re repurposing a ship that would otherwise be dismantled in an environmentally friendly manner, and your take is it’s bad, just because it’s for a billionaire?

I don’t know what it is, whether its the compositing or color grading, but something makes this look cheap for some reason, it doesn’t feel like a big budget show, instead feels like one of those old direct to video type things like forward unto dawn, etc...

Perfect!

just delete it once you buy it. 

I hope it will not be like that Hyundai. Can we please stop with those stupid pops and crackles? I’d like to be able to drive a car like this as an adult, without looking and feeling like a tool.

crank yer hog for Gary. gobbless.

Back in the 1960's my Grandfather was a partner in a small ruralish Ford dealership. He was a real good ol’ boy from Arkansas transplanted into small town Washington State, who looked, sounded, and acted just like Andy Griffith.

Regardless of their motivations, it’s nice to see they did the kid a solid. 

The grille seems to have survived relatively intact. 

I thought this was fairly interesting... what exactly are you expecting?

Those of us who love cars and the engineering behind them disagree with you.

Oh boy are you about to be disappointed. Not only have I now written about counterweights, but I’ve also written about blue anodized wheel cylinders:

One time in college I helped set up the gym for Dashboard Confessional and at the time I thought that was the most impressive logistical thing I’d ever conceptualized 😆

Sure, but it was USA to USA in a flying boat.  They flew over the desert in that thing.  Today I wouldn’t call that around the world, but back then I’ll give it to them. 

Unfortunately, their rig met its match on the trip back home as the family crossed the Simpson Desert.

THIS LIST IS SHITE!
