I imagine Xzibit flies coach these days.

That’s actually kinda shitty compared to commercial business class on major airlines.

Im guessing that is where you have to be for takeoff and landings, regulations and all. At least they are the lay backs for your loser friends to sleep on.

Hold your horses there Ayn Rand. Not everyone would, including most tech Billionaires. There is no way to justify this in any rational sense and it’s more jet than anyone could ever need. It’s an obscene waste of capital, and anyone who has earned their money could find a better use for that cash. This is for Oil…

What the fuck is this part of the penthouse?!?!?! None of my penthouses include anything so abysmal as the peasantry shown here.

At some point we have to admit that the mere fact of this thing’s existence is indicative of some serious problems in our society.

What do you think I am, a farmer? I'll wait for the A380 Penthousefortress, thank you.

All their asses combined can't write that check.

Batteries plus, duh.

What’s hard to understand? They use a lot of bolts, but there is plenty of capacity to manufacture them already out there. Batteries are just not available in the quantities they need to make cars. A Tesla uses 7000 batteries in each and every Model S. VW sells close to ten million cars each year around the world.…

The more you can bring in house, the less you are vulnerable to a takata problem. Plus if you build inhouse, you can also sell the product to other people and be a supplier instead of a customer. Any company that has the resources to do so always tries to achieve that, it just makes more sense.

Why would VW need to make their own batteries? You don’t need to make all your own parts to make your own car...

If something so basic and fundamentally important as the gear selector is so confusing that people cannot figure it out, then I’d call that broken, regardless of whether or not it was actually malfunctioning.

I had a ‘92 TSi AWD. It WAS awesome, when it wasn’t up on jackstands...

The only difference would be that now we would be pondering how much cooler it would have been to get the Eclipse instead of the FTO.

Well Chrysler wouldn’t be the same since half their small cars shared a platform with the fwd eclipse. Also Eclipse/Talons with Avenger front ends.

No thanks, the Eagle Talon was awesome.

People seem to really _want_ older Supras to be as cool or desirable as the last generation, but they just ... aren’t.

What is problematic about it? Pretending they don’t exist, that they’re not coming seems the far greater threat to rowing your own, far more than welcoming them and being involved.

Sucks for salaried people, extended work periods. Now you can eat, crap, or even drive without being expected to do work.
