    Same here.  I only buy cars that only come in manual.

    Yes, they brought it back as an option for 2018 in the 991.2 GT3.

    Totally agree, the biggest benefit in really crappy conditions being engine braking to slow you down.

    But there’s another joy that’s fading away: the satisfaction of seeing a car parked across the street, walking over, looking in the window and discovering that the car is not an automatic (lame) but a manual (hell yes).

    Unfortunately there seem to be 2 people this rule doesn’t apply to.

    There were no survivors to upload the video.

    Read Musk’s email to his employees.

    They went public for the reason companies are supposed to go public. To raise capital to fund business operations. Starting an automotive company costs quite a bit of money. There is a reason there havent been any other large scale auto maufactures that have started up from scratch in the last 60 years, it’s expensive.

    He announced it on twitter at the same time he announced it to the entire company with a much longer explanation as to why. Tweeting it to the world took out any opportunity for that company email to be leaked which would have been actual trouble.

    The 627HP was a bit underrated. Hand built, mechanical, high tolerance engines like that can vary.  627 would have been the minimum that Gordon would accept, most were making in the range of 660 after being properly broken in.

    Less the risk free interest rate over the implied time for the transaction to close.

    It’s not a 20% premium, it’s a 10.5% premium over the current price. And at potentially a year plus doesn’t say much about the risk of that not happening.

    So Musk just made $1.3 billion sending out one tweet.  How is that legal?

    The stock is up $38.58 (at this minute today). I’d say that’s a pretty big showing of confidence.

    A Camry causes me pain on almost a daily basis. Typically by some combination of driving slow in the left lane, not signaling, drifting out of their lane, or not turning on their headlights well after dusk.

    My thoughts exactly. I needed a drywall saw over the weekend, that was a $160 tool at Home Depot. The Harbor Freight version was $37.

    So it’s a Mustang that doenst look like a Mustang? Must really surprise the cars and coffee crowds, they don’t even see it coming.

    Today I’m Grahm Hill?
