Not for no reason, there is a separate First Class area in BA’s terminal at JFK, still called the Concorde lounge, because the Concorde was designed for those 3 hour day trips across the pond. When every seat on the plane is $10K and every one of those seats is full nearly every trip, you make enough money to make up…

British Airways managed to operate the “too expensive” Concorde at a profit every single year it was in operation almost entirely because of the JFK-Heathrow route. The Concorde was horrible, just completely useless, as a subsonic aircraft, which is what the U.S. forced it to be at all times over land. The government…
No thanks, I’ll go to my final resting place in my own car, being driven by my kids down the coast with the windows down and the roar of a vintage AMG V-8 waking countless “drivers” that are fast asleep in their self-driving EV. After that, they will throw me wherever they want to. Pretty much any car on earth can be…
It’s not coming to the United States because Americans have both an insatiable desire for performance and an insatiable desire for Toyota, yet not one of them who desires performance is interested a Toyota and not one of them who desires a Toyota is interested in performance. And most of all, the one thing that every…
The attractiveness of a vehicle with less than 7,000 miles on it is often tempered by things as such as the said vehicle being completely unpowered. A RHD Suzuki Jimny chassis on the market for $6K, in a market where the LHD, US-spec Samurai powered by a working engine is easily found for half that? Wat? Y?
A guy in Europe got a flat tire. Within an hour and a half, there was a technician at Heathrow, with a wheel in his luggage.
Meh, I’ve never been fond of spiders. And while I adore the 288, F-40, F355, and 458, I’ve never cared much for mid-engined Ferraris beyond their beauty and raw performance, the latter of which is utterly useless away from a race track. While mid-engined cars have become the public image of Ferrari since the 1980's, th…
S500 driver is unsure if he really saw what he thinks he just saw.
California dog: Backed up car into a few trash cans directly across the street.

7 liters of unadulterated, free-breathing internal combustion purity. This is the one genre of vehicle that ICE will forever live without the EV challenging it. This is why you buy a supercar.
If you ever hear a naturally aspirated V-12 engine, you will vehemently disavow the idea that cylinder count is not a defining factor in the sound that an engine emits. Forced induction makes all high-performance engines, regardless of cylinder count, sound like shit compared to their naturally aspirated counterpart. …
The Genesis logo gets confused for Aston Martin by, um, who exactly?
Did they think Andrew Luck was the type of guy that would hang around for 20 years of Colts’ linemen? Andrew Luck is not going to stick around something he doesn’t enjoy doing anymore. They let the love of football get literally beat out of their quarterback. The Colts couldn’t protect their quarterback. Their…
Watching cars drive silently around until they get close enough to assault your ears with the glorious sound of rubber squeaking on asphalt sounds like the type of experience that would be enjoyable for many people. I’m not being sarcastic, it seems like a perfect match for kids or people curious about what the big…
“Maybe, just maybe, if a person crashes their vehicle into a gym pool by accident and has to be rescued from it as it sinks to the bottom, don’t start your public, verbal reaction sentence with, “Although it was somewhat inconvenient to not be able to work out.”
Thank god we don’t live in a better civilization.
Smoke that livestock with a naturally aspirated V-12
You’re on the of the rare ones that pay in cash, I’m sure your credit is excellent. May I ask why you decided to pay the full price, especially back in ‘15 when interest rates were very low?
