Zuck was ready. It was Musk who backed down.

I am all for EV’ing a Land Rover or something else terribly unreliable. But EV’ing probably the most reliable platform in automotive history? Hard pass.

Frankly, 2 things that would save way more lives, be easier to implement, and would not introduce Big Brother tracking:

This idiot earned money somehow to buy that Audi and ist wrap, and you need a SSN to get a paycheck, unless he only deals with cash. How did he even get to this point though? How did he buy the drone? So many questions...

lol, 90k for a fucking Ram? In this interest rate environment? Youre starting to get near Range Rover territory here.

Exactly. It’s RIGHT THERE in the article. He estimated his direct expenses were about $24k but he was actually able to deduct $44k off his gross earnings using the mileage deduction.  $20k is the part of his income he had to pay taxes on.

Plus, that $38k in Uber fees were never his to start with? Doesn’t Uber collect everything, and then pay him out what he is owed? Attributing that $38k in fees as if it were his income, seems a bit silly from a book keeping perspective. Seems like the article should really say that the Uber driver generated $103k in…

This is BS. His take home was more like $40k. The mileage deduction is intended to cover his vehicle maintenance, fuel, car depreciation, etc. It shouldn’t be counted twice. Plus, his car was likely near worthless with well over 300k miles at the start of last year, so the depreciation is inflated.

Not sure why this story is featured on Jalopnik as it has nothing to do with Elon Musk. Still pretty interesting though..

Still don’t understand why anyone would want a pick up with a manual. Nothing like clunky shifting and worse fuel economy to really get me all excited.

“My uncle Bob said that it took him an extra 20 minutes to get from his hotel to Margaritaville on foot and he just bought new shoes that aren’t even broken in yet! He’s furious that F1 didn’t bother to consider his perspective before deciding to put on this charade that he certainly won’t be attending.”

Boo hoo. Las Vegas exists exactly because of nonsense like this, designed to extract money from tourists. Everyone that lives there IS THERE because of that fact and knows it. It’s not a city, it’s a venue. Locals whining about it is hypocritical. Tourists whining about it (and their non-F1 related vacations being…

I HOPE this is your last comment. Because they’ve all been absolute trash.

Ok great, you grew up listening to and loving Leonard Cohen.

Lol get the fuck out of here.

Yeah, those two pretty much discredit the entire list.  Sure, some people think the originals are untouchable, but you could find 2,500 covers worse that AAF or Disturbed.

I’m convinced that the editors of the AV Club sincerely have zero taste based on AAF’s cover of Smooth Criminal being on this list.

Counter point, the extended cab is the best truck. It’s very nice to have the extra bit of space to store things that you want to stay inside the cab without also consuming the passenger seat. 

First off, I initially misread the period in this statement as a comma, “at a website full of people I adore. With the exception of Beth Skwarecki...” Damn! Then I reread it and realized my mistake.

Hmmph...all I got was a little pack of crackers on my last flight!
