I thought we returned Elio to Cuba

Ford did not get a bailout. They were clever enough to leverage as much credit as possible - they even put up the brand name as an asset. Really, the board deserves a lot of credit for their timing.

So true. I went from a 64 1/2 Mustang as my daily to a new Benz convertible. The classic - people waved me in to merge, smiled at me all the time. And in the roadster they all wanted to cut me off, bicycle rider rode by and banged on the roof randomly, etc. That was the San Francisco Bay Area
Recently a friend of mine…

I feel like creating SpaceX mitigates much (not all, but much) of Elon’s doucheosity.
Then again, I’ve never been married to him.

Well because I read about it here, I posted it to my news group on fb, which has 45K members. It’s already been seen by about 3,000 people.
That’s how media works in the internet age. If you reach influencers they reach more people.

It also helps break the stereotype many in the US have about Muslim women. You can’t believe how many idiots think most Muslim women go around covered from head to toe etc.

First, the cops could catch this, if they wanted to put the resources in. Find surveillance cam footage from businesses to get plates. Start monitoring facebook groups around this scene. Pay off some informants. I’m not saying whether its worth it or not, but it could be done.
Then you block the streets five or six…

Except we have a better way to fix that: the WTO.

I have some great investment property for you, just ten miles east of Miami

Trump urges us to support a candidate for Florida governor who is “strong on borders”. I guess that means he’ll protect us from an invasion from Georgia.

Having owned a MKIV GTI, I miss the good times hanging out at my mechanic’s nearly every month. I’d bring ice tea and snacks for everybody, we’d joke about the latest thing that broke.
Now I have a Mercedes, and apart from oil changes the only time I see those guys is Fourth of July bbq and our Superbowl party.

Excellent points, I must admit.

Subscription car wash, $32 a month get it washed and hand wiped daily. And since I don’t drive down whatever dirt roads or grimy factory districts you apparently frequent, it looks fine.
My sharp-ass black on black Benz makes me look like slightly less of a douche, actually. Quite an accomplishment if you saw me.

Okay, then I guess you have to ban parents from the infield, they can’t follow the rules.
(But actually, I’ve seen plenty of parents say if their adult offspring makes a deliberate choice and it gets them in a dangerous position, oh well, they’re going to keep doing it anyway. Leave them in jail, or homeless, or in a…

Window tint, how does it work?

You can find map updates on eBay for $50. They’re widely pirated.

The hot take here seems to be “any dad would do this” (and I assume any mom too).
If that’s the case: so, a parent cannot follow the rules when it comes to their adult offspring in this sport. Okay, ban parents from the infield of the track. Not allowed in the pits.
If they can’t follow the rules, they can’t be there.

I’d hope some dads would act like professionals.
But if not, then you need to ban any driver’s dad from the infield. He created more danger and is lucky he isn’t a victim. If you really think a parent cannot obey the rules when their adult - adult - offspring choose to engage in a dangerous sport, then they can’t be…

First, that wasn’t a child, it was a grown man.
Second, it wasn’t a random accident. The son was racing. He’s an adult, he took on the risk, and the dad knows the safety procedures.
Sure, it turned out well, but just as easily the father could have ended up burned or hit by a car, etc. Spare me the “dad loves his kid”…

Mercedes doesn’t offer a sport coupe because at this price buyers want a GT. A C43 or C63 is much nicer inside, there’s still a sport mode button, and few opt for a stick anyway.
My E550 coupe in sport mode is pretty, well, sporty - you can easily break out the rear end, at 3850 lbs it isn’t too porky, and 382 hp na…
