Southern California, and I live in the midwest.

I remember reading about this 9 freaking years ago. I guess I assumed they fixed it. Apparently not.

And then he somehow managed to fine James Harrison for it.

That was awesome.  Unfortunately I’m now going to spend about 3 hours watching everything on that channel.

What I’m saying is this car will not be a good investment in any sense if it racks up miles. It might not lose much value if kept with super low miles, but what is the point of buying a car you cant drive just so it can be a poor investment.

They don’t need red, people only want to buy silver, grey, graphite, metallic titanium, and lifeless personality.

They still make too many for them to ever appreciate in value, unless you never drive it, in which case what’s the point, still wont outperform an index fund.

It’s not so much meeting US regs, it’s the cost of getting a car approved., And the fact that the US regs are completely different from the Euro regs, so they have to essentially build a different car. Both are pretty cost prohibitive for such a small production run. Easier to just push it through show and display.

No, but they’ve already said it will be allowed under show and display.  Same as the Speedtail.

When the P1 was being developed a lot of F1 owners told them that they wanted a 3 seater V12 manual. McLaren said they had no interest in doing that. I dont know if this is related to that or not, but Murray said he already sold half of the cars he plans to build and a lot of F1 owners have placed an order for this…

F1 was £540,000 which was the equivalent of about $800,000 at the time. You couldn’t buy one in the USA, a separate company called Ameritech later made some modifications to legally import them into the USA, after paying to go through that process you were over $1m. They have already said that this one will be £2,000,0…

He gets no annual salary or bonus. He owns 19% of the company’s stock and otherwise works for free.

He was worth several hundred million before Tesla, so he could afford to not take a salary in place of a low probability, high reward option package. Most CEOs would rather take a higher guaranteed salary with a smaller long term incentive.

Killing Buell was one of the dumbest decisions I’ve seen any company ever make. And GM set the bar pretty high for dumb decisions.

The Harley growth in the 90s through the 08 recession was a boomer midlife crisis / retirement gift fad. They expanded to quick to cash in and then the demand dropped. Their customer base is either too old or already has a garage queen Harley and no need to buy another.

I like the 370, I cosidered getting a 350 a while ago, but couldn’t get by with only 2 seats. And couldnt afford the G35 (seriously $10k more than a 350Z to get a 6 speed). If you just looked at the specs on paper its actually very close to the Supra for $20k less, and has a manual option, but the only thing people…

That’s nice, when are they putting a proper manual gearbox in it?

Ford GT needs a V8. 

I cant think of anything less essential than the current car dealership model. We could just ditch the whole dealer structure and move to direct to consumer sales.

Hope that happens. I test drove a manual corolla hatch last year after reading the review on this site saying it wasn’t boring. Well it was kinda boring. Although I was coming from an Abarth 500 and compared to an Abarth anything short of a Vegas trip with Jeff Lowe is boring.  But I needed more space and ended up…
