“Hey you...... 1,000+ HP hyper exotics.... wanna race at Le Sarthe?! No? How ‘bout at COTA?... Bahrain?....SIlverstone? Throw down tough guy! Put your money where your intake is! You scared? 6 Hour stint biach!”

No one informed me that jean shorts were out of style until about a decade ago when I was 25. My group at work had an outing to an afternoon baseball game. I changed from my office clothes into my shorts and a t-shirt. One of my friends at worked said “Are you honestly wearing jorts?”. This was the first time I had…

probably laughed at us khaki and polo-rocking enginerds (if they weren’t laughing, they should have been; we are terrible dressers.)

Hi

I’m curious to whom they assigned the task of David Tracy Monitor at FCA after your departure?

I wouldn’t be shocked if some of the teeth problems I have today are because of them as well. I chew weird because I habitually learned to shift everything to the inside edges of my teeth so it wouldn’t get all caught up. Incidentally the only places where I have any cavity or enamel problems are where the braces…

Right there with you. I spent 4 years in braces, from 16 - 20, and if I could go back and do it all over again, I’d just live with crooked teeth & more gooey caramel.

I honestly don’t think that’s at all the case. Most of western Europe seems perfectly keen on oral health. A lot of them just don’t care for orthodontics.

And part of THAT problem is we’ve built a society where a good many people, including poor and working-class people, are absolutely dependent on their cars to get to and from work with no other options. I’m for much stricter driver training too, but I can see the economic downsides to “easier to lose” as well. It’s a…

Umm, she probably DOESN’T DRIVE.

You know, you can avoid a car crash on a fun, twisty mountain road by driving the car. That’s it. There’s no trick beyond that. Stay in control of the car that you, the driver, have been put in control of, and you’re not going to crash.

I agree with both you and Kristen. The only solution, I think, would be for car manufacturers to build one extra car in every line and meticulously preserve it in a museum. Beyond that, anyone keeping a 45 year old supercar at 150 miles can suck a fuck.

150 miles: fuck that guy.

Thats not wholly unreasonable. Carbon fiber chassis and minimal luxury fitments and you could have the whole thing under 4,000 lbs easy- that’s lighter than an Aventador SV.

My biggest thought isn’t weight or power but space. I don’t think it’s trivial to cram two P100D packs into a Model S, let alone a smaller…

But it’s a sports car. “Acceleration, cornering, and braking” are what it’s designed to do - not cruising, so a gigantic battery is going to hurt all of that (even if it does gain some cornering ability back by being so low to the ground).

Oh the range is believable. A sub 9-sec 1/4 mile? That thing has to be battery, motors, and just enough carbon fiber to hold it all together.

Don’t worry, magic batteries are just around the corner!

And now for an anecdote:
