Actually, this was on my list of potential next cars after the i8. Never been a 911 guy but the 911R has me intrigued. And I comment here! (Whatever happened to BTU - haven’t seen him around in a while.)

I have a Swedish friend I used to also work with, and she kept promising she would come to work one year wearing this whole get-up. (Still waiting, Anna!) It’s probably a fire hazard tho.

I would 100% drive one of these, especially in a period color. So cool.

Something has gone seriously wrong in this guy’s life if he needs to fake a kidnapping for the decidedly non-princely sum of $10k. Doesn’t he have that in his checking account (at least??) or if not have a buddy he can call for a loan or even a gift?

That’s crazy. Terrible public services or just instant firestorm? (Or a little of both?)

Terrifying. Did they leave as soon as the evac order came?

Will we also be getting an i8s? And will it have the rear seats replaced with more engine?

Are we still doing phrasing?

That may be on the 599, but unfortunately Maserati specced the wrong diameter on the output shaft. (My mechanic’s view: sadly typical.) Maserati acknowledged this to my mechanic, and he asked whether they would do anything since they got the part wrong as a goodwill measure. Guess what they said? They said have a…

I’ve owned one. Worst car in terms of maintenance I’ve ever owned. The driving experience was awesome, but it just broke too often and too expensively.

“Shazza”. That checks out.

On the other hand, why would you bother to remove the feathers? They would just burn right off...

That will never cook evenly and the stuffing will probably be underdone.

• Only One Carry-On: You only get one, not the usual two, and it must be stored under the seat in front of you. You won’t be able to use an overhead compartment.

I’m actually surprised there are only two of me on this website. :)

I wonder what they would do if you just parked it at the dealership, handed the keys to the greeter, and told them you’d be back for your appointment?

I know this isn’t a fashion blog, but to say Louboutins can retail for over $800 is a little misleading. I think most of them are over $800 and many are over $1000.

“Do you come with the car?”

Watching a movie as the driver? I’d be amazed but then I remember seeing a guy READING THE PAPER in the early 90s driving to work. This while passing me, and I was speeding.
