From a quick Google, when Wheel Pros acquired Transamerican Auto Parts in 2021, TAP had over $700M in annual revenue. Last year it was $9M.

At least the CanAm has a windscreen. On this thing, you’re going to get peeled straight off as soon as you lift your head up.

“In the review, Clarkson commented on the poor range of the car, which lasted just 55 miles on a race track, and claimed that it took an eye-watering 16 hours to top the battery up once again.”

You can only be self incriminated by your self. That’s how words work.

True. If nobody’s home they just break the door down and trash the place.

Up until recently, Amazon was sharing Ring recordings with law enforcement without even needing a warrant.

Fixed wing planes are too fast to do this job effectively, because the reference marks and chase cars are in fixed locations. Back when NY used to do this, I would see the dark blue helicopters following the interstate at roughly the speed of traffic. That way they could hit a bunch of traps along the stretch they…

Strap it to a pallet next to a Hyabusa motor and call it a kit vehicle. I’m sure you’ll find buyers.
