More is being spent per student, than ever before, and that was all true during the past 40 years.

Running a 100 meter dash really easy. Nearly everyone can do it. Doing it better than everyone else is quite challenging. 

Watch some fast drag races for the crashes. You’ll see where the skill comes in on every sub-ten-second run that doesn’t involve bent metal.

Putting that much power to the ground is a challenge. Suspension tuning to allow progressive weight transfer to the rear wheels for traction can be as sophisticated as any NASCAR or road race car. Beyond that, reaction time, applying power quickly enough but not so suddenly as to spin the tires uselessly, and yes,…

Dispensing with leather is commendable, but otherwise I’m a bit meh on the project.

Nah, I’m good. The NVH levels would make it almost impossible to daily, making it a garage queen or collector item, in which case isn’t really the epitome of sustainability. Building shit just to build shit.

hm. trust the words of a hype man(who has engaged in some pretty blatant bullshit to manipulate markets - not a direct connection to this but factors worth consideration), or the words of a report crafted from data directly from the engineers working on the rocket...

Not only did they fail to study ‘The Complete Idiots’ Guide to Rocketing’, Dynetics sounds like something Scientologists would come up with. We don’t need Scientologists on the moon too.

I bought a Genesis G70 to put my money where my mouth is. It’s been great. If they ever bring the G70 wagon over to the US, I will be first in line. The Sports sedan segment is shrinking but i’m doing my part to keep it around!

Experienced readers of Musk’s twitter account know that his tweets vary from wildly exaggerated to flat out lies.

It’s a political thing. You pretty much have to be an echo in here to have your opinion valued enough to be visible.

My RV-finding bot would join forces with my aviation news bot and create total chaos.

“Boeing Built This Sweet 1970s Camper Out Of An Airbus A380"

I wouldn’t trust that ‘roll cage’, either. 

It’s a 1992 Sentra.

We here have said this before and we shall say it again.

In an election, sure. But not on a meaningless internet poll.

The grey thing is absurd.  I’m not aware of any other comments section that does it.  

I don’t think pointing out something exists (and laughing at it) is promoting it, my guy.

This seriously pushes the boundaries of “Running, driving vehicle with a manual transmission under X dollars” so it’s definitely a conundrum.
