the explicit wording of the regs is not a loophole.

either incredible naive or willfully ignorant. either choice is not a good look.

so you are saying the company that has been funded nearly 100% by the DoD and has been demoing their tech with the army for 10 years suddenly doesn’t want their stuff to be weaponized?

so the real questions here are “does Toto have a real source” & “if so, who is it?” because _all_ of the info is supposed to be completely confidential.

or people could buy a small house and fix it up and stop renting from slumlords and spending stupid money on a car for prestige.

yes, but the point is, for the vast majority of americans $50k for a car is not affordable, much less $71k

the average price of a new car is highly distorted right now by morons and greed.

$71k is not affordable.

It bothers me to no end that they named it Mustang.

life. in prison. without possibility of parole.

hmm, half a day’s traffic in _half a day_...  shocking.

by bentley owner standards, definitely one of the poors (i.e. not a 1%er)

salty? nah, just baffled at how rich people will buy something expensive purely because it is expensive but not in any way more functional.

does it do any single thing better than a honda pilot beyond making an obscenely rich putin sympathizing fucknuts feel smug?

wasn’t the meteor just the mercury version of the torino?

not…

it’s not that he’s second best to Verstappen that is the problem, it’s that he’s fairly consistently not in position to help with strategy they way Bottas was able to consistently be in second or third and pick up the win if Hamilton crashed or had some other problem.

Perez is also running an older version of the floor (supposedly for cost cap reasons)  yes, max is that good, but the car is also clearly #1 on race pace and #1.5 on quali pace.  Merc is clearly 3rd or 4th on quali pace and 2nd on race pace, Ferrari is first on quali pace and 3rd on race pace.

typo above, I meant Albon and DeVries, not Piastri

I don’t see Toto letting his driver (he is both his manager and team owner and holds his contract) go to AT. too much bad blood with RB to let that happen (even if it would be best for the driver and Merc long term if he did).  I think Albon and Piastri will make a good pair at Williams next season (unless Albon gets…
