The worst part is that they’d built hotel on Boardwalk, so he owed like $500 in rent just for one night.

I see you shiver with antici

The traffic here is becoming a real nightmare. I live in the East Bay and commute to Palo Alto and yes, I work in tech ( boooo! ).

It’s one of my kinks personally. Don’t get the big fuss.

You don’t understand how insurance works. Dangerously ignorant by the sound of things.

The free market works.

The free market works if the point is to leave a bunch of people in the street to die. Insurance companies don’t want to insure unhealthy people, thus the pre-existing condition exclusions. In a completely free market, only the truly healthy would get insurance and, the moment they got sick with something like cancer…

Actually it is.

A lot of flawed logic in here.

I was thinking the same thing. I mercilessly thrashed an 1st gen Exige for about 4 years and aside from one of the syncros becoming noisy (it was tracked weekly after all) it was reliable AF. Regular servicing at the same intervals as our Corolla which only cost about 1.5x what the Corolla servicing cost and it never…

I would guess about here

Sounds boring. There’s no surprises in that: the Demon would destroy the Lotus in a straight line and get destroyed by the Lotus on a road course. Shocker! Who would have thought the car designed specifically for drag racing would win a drag race and lose a road race?!

Funny how only people who do not/never have/never will own a Lotus are the ones who joke about “parts falling off”...as if that’s an actual thing with Lotus. My Elise is easily the most reliable car I’ve owned in the last 5 years.

You sound a little hard on Lotus. The Evora is a fantastic car and, frankly, I feel they’ve done enough updates and modifications over its 8 years to satisfy me, at least. Quite the difference from the GT430 if you ask me!

“Lotus says in its press release that the GT430 is a mere 2,773 pounds, hundreds of pounds lighter than the Evora 400.”

You can order them with the Speaker Delete Package, and they’ll run you two grand.

You see the same thing in game development. So many kids eager to get into the industry, pay is garbage and working conditions are atrocious. Every one that leaves, 10 more are kicking down the door, BEGGING to work for peanuts.

Airlines generally pay pilots based on years of service and equipment. A Spirit pilot at the top of the scale makes about $160000 annually. if that pilot were to move to another (legacy) carrier, he would start at the bottom making half of that and would take 6-12 years to exceed his previous pay at Spirit. if he is…

I can remember one I think it was for the Malibu where the car is de-badged and one of the “real” people claims they think the car is “a mix between a Tesla and a BMW.”

Ouch, that impact probably knocked his monocle out.
