This guy I’d guess

“Anyway, Metcalfe noted that the Tourbillon is actually about 1.2 inches lower than the Chiron, which is quite a fete.” while lowering a car may indeed be a party to be celebrated, I believe that it’s more of a feat. Then again picking the right words may be as hard as not tripping up over your own feet ;)

Easy. A good friend of mine has a 1929 Fargo Packet, likely one of maybe 3 in the world that run if not simply exist. You may know about the brand which was acquired by Dodge but I doubt you’ve ever heard of or even seen a Packet.

Stamping would also potentially lead to copies at least in theory, being able to be made. Yes, of course the custom gcode could be reused as well, but machining is much more exclusive.

You have a Ferrari 412 T1 shown for the ‘67 Eagle Westlake. Ironically covered in garish advertising and hardly a missile. 

I had a chance to see one in person and they are bonkers. It’s not a car I would buy as I feel there are better performing and better looking cars for the money but a Spyker would be the belle of your local C&C for sure.

Proof of Ferucci being a MAGA dipshit:

While I agree with the sentiment the only 3 states with no helmet laws at all are Iowa, Illinois and New Hampshire, all of which last I checked are not southern states. Northern states allow you to die stupidly just as well.

“There are ways to keep them happy, but they really don’t like it when you add more boost.”

This is how Eddie Tipton got caught, got greedy. The guy literally had a backdoor into the lottery but couldn’t leave well enough alone. Had he not decided to try for the big payoff he would likely still be scamming the system:

The two times I’ve been to Italy I was very surprised at how few Ferraris and Lamborghinis I saw, on the road over 2 visits to the country I think maybe 10. I too had to go to the Ferrari Museum to truly see some red cars. I also went to the Ducati factory and that is an amazing visit. 

Similarly, some wacky inventor made a XXX MPG carburetor but BIG OIL shut him down as it would cut into profits!

“You wouldn’t keep a Rothko in the basement under the stairs – you’d hang it in pride of place with good lighting and space around it,”— Uh having just visited the Rothko Chapel in Austin you’d be hard pressed to tell me that isn’t how they are displayed. I’m certainly not an ‘Art’ person but Rothko paintings may be…

No the bar in Jett’s at the Hotel Paisano. It was only 40ish degrees out and January, there was n o t h i n g open in Marfa.

Here’s my take on the ‘Border Issue’. I was just in Texas last week, drove from Mobile, AL to El Paso, TX. Spent 2 nights in Marfa and for a whole day we drove from Marfa, through both Big Bend parks State/National.

For a car/small SUV either a Toyota or Lexus, I’d even go hybrid without worry.

John Cena might have insight to this:

Iowan here, fuck DeSantis and fuck Ethanol.
