Well at least we tried...

The Nissan buyers may just have lower expectations.

I call bullshit.  No way three American makes come in ahead of a Japanese make, and NO FUCKING WAY Nissan is the highest-ranked Japanese make.

Lol you goofy smurf, nobody races Rolls like that anymore - nevermind modern ones.

I find it hard to believe that any RR was driven from Paris to Moscow.

Until you can drive from Paris to Moscow without recharging, Rolls will remain gas powered. 

Are you as annoyed as I am that Rolls Royce isn’t all over that EV shit by now?  Silence is the Rolls Royce way!

Exactly this. If anyone were to spend the money on the best batteries money can buy, it’s that segment. The key is getting people to come drive them.

He slid that plane into the ocean about as smoothly as he slid into those DMs. 

The problem is you’re trying to apply logic to a person who isn’t thinking logically.

I am happy with my dad car. It’s the car my kids talk about, my nephews want to ride in and I hope to be able to pass down.

BTW, to clarify for posterity sake, when I say the old cameras used tubes, I don’t mean vacuum tubes like old radios, I mean an analog electronic tube for the image sensor. CCD stands for Charged Coupled Device and is what most digital cameras use today for image sensors. The giveaway is whenever he turns into the sun

CCD “Camcorders” where a new thing back then, and generally, only people who worked in the broadcast industry had access to them. Previous to that “portable”cameras weighed 15 lbs and had seperate 20 lbs. video recording decks. They also used tubes which didn’t respond well to high contrast and bright lights. Catching

I could take or leave The Who. Never bought an album of theirs. Copied a friend’s onto a cassette, but almost never played it.

Took a minute to get my bearings, but as soon as I saw the old Holiday Inn near the Getty I knew where we were from there on. It’s crazy to see how
