Think how much money was wasted on cars, at all, in those early days. Cars that, at the time, were barely any faster than horses. And what people really wanted wasn’t a car, anyway, but a faster horse.
Cross-eyed Morgan Aero 8. I believe it is either Mini or New Beetle headlights originally:
In that rear (top down) view, you can really see the seeds of the F-Type.
I have no idea of how it worked with Red Bull. But independent attorneys perform investigations all the time. Whistleblowers, at government request, internal complaints (like here), compliance evaluation, potential criminal charges, and many other things are investigated by independent attorneys who are hired to do…
I was somehow put in charge of leading a half dozen Canadians on a scooter tour around the Greek island of Corfu. I was bartending at a hostel/commune/family farm/asylum when the owner handed me the keys to a scooter and one of the paper tablecloths, which had a rudimentary map of the island.
Current set up ain’t bad. Both are highly capable and highly reliable.
I hate when people say stuff like, “What is MTA doing about this?” What do you want them to do about it? Post signs everywhere stating sex on top of trains is prohibited?

Nice writeup, and great to see that they were able to directly answer some of your questions! This is good Jalopnik. Trucklopnik. Expedopnik. Circumvanilopnik. I’m just going to go now.
I think that was a “royal we”, meaning himself, or (more likely) Jalopnik. The quote itself implies that the US is a hard market for those small cars.
I got to drive one of these, and review it. Left out of my copy were the the three incidents where the passenger seat was occupied by young ladies asking me to take them for a drive. ( It is probably worth mentioning that I am older than some deities and have the charm of an accident in a mall parking lot)
It’s all in preparation to SpaceX announcing that they are making Space Life Buoys and launching them in the upcoming weeks. It’s called the “Buoys to Men” program. When asked, Elon’s quote was “I want it that way.”
Do they not know how much of a good position they are in right now? Just make some more pedestrian models 400hp pure EV, 300 - 350 mile range and sell the crap out of them for 60K. Cowards!
