I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I think that the Acura DPi cars look awesome, especially when you see them up close. The MSR and WTR liveries look great on this car too. Much better than the boring-ass Penske livery.

When I had my steel hardtail frame built, one of the color options was basically just clearcoat over the raw steel and brazing joints. I still kick myself for not choosing that option. 

I’ve made the drive from Chicago to Portland Oregon four times. Twice on I80, twice on I90. While neither of those routes are “good”, I think the I90 route is more scenic, especially once you get into western Montana. I80 seemed a bit quicker, but the slog through Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyoming is pretty painful,…

LA does have some amazing cars and burritos. Depending on where in the midwest you landed, you can find some pretty decent Mexican food, but it’s nothing like SoCal. 

I spend a lot of time down in OC and also in San Diego/Riverside County. I love SoCal, but it’s just too damn expensive. Not that Portland is a value, but it’s definitely cheaper. I’ve got a friend in Santa Ana who’s been trying to convince me to move down there for like 5 years now. If housing prices ever come back…

I’m currently living with that bad air quality, and while it’s a reminder that things suck right now, it’s also a temporary thing. Fire season will end. I’m just saying that there are likely bigger factors at work here than just the fires.

This is exactly my point. If you were to look at costs for moving out of California prior to the fires, the prices would likely have been just as high. 

I don’t know what everyone in California is thinking, but I know what some Californians are thinking. I have friends in California who were planning to leave well before the fires. The primary complaints are cost of living, taxes, and traffic. I live in Oregon, so like one in every three people who live here moved…

Further north - Portland. 

Yes, I saw them. Why?

Yeah, this has absolutely nothing to do with the fires, and everything to do with the ridiculously high cost of living in places like San Francisco and LA. 

This likely has very little to do with the wildfires, and more to do with the fact that people are moving out of big cities in general. A lot of people in the Bay are working from home, some for the foreseeable future. If you’re working from home, you don’t need to be close to your office, so suddenly spending $3k/mo…

The Germans will probably be first to do this, but it’ll be electrically actuated and it’ll cost $10k to fix when it inevitably fails the week after your warranty expires.

Not gonna lie - I totally forgot that they raced the MC12.

It’s not as exciting as I’d hoped, but I think it looks pretty good. I just don’t really understand the point of this car. Is anyone really going to choose this over a Ferrari? Or even a McLaren or Lamborghini for that matter? Maybe if it’s priced more in the range of a 911 Turbo or something but I doubt that very…

If this thing had the B16 and a proper gearbox, then maybe it would be worth it for that. Maybe. But this is literal garbage. ND all day.

The Land Cruiser Heritage Edition can be had for +/- $90k. Why anyone would buy a fucking Jeep over that is completely beyond my comprehension. 

I am a poor. Depreciation is definitely a consideration for me, which is why I drive a Lexus and not something German. 

More reliable than a Toyota Land Cruiser??? Does such a thing exist?

I'd imagine there's a market for it, but no way in hell would I pay that kind of cash for a Jeep. Depreciation on these things is probably gonna be catastrophic. If I had that kind of cash to drop on a big ass truck, I'd buy a Land Cruiser over this any day.
