Track day definitely existed, we called it Sunday back then and it was a lot cheaper.

The coolest co-opting of the Spirit of Ecstasy was bar none Serge Gainsbourg in Melody Nelson:

Kinda weird that Tesla isn’t doing this themselves while the market is hot for Teslas. But then again I don’t really want to see half a car go flying down the freeway next to me while the other half rear-ends me.

Anyone with a 401k or Mutual fund, basically anyone investing in diversified funds most likely owns automotive stock of one type or another.

I thank you for the LSD, sir!

I yield the floor and all of my time to Herr Hofmeister and Herr Bracq

Except that number is now 66. And apparently 33 as well.

Gen X’er here -

A Corvette should only ever be a boat. Fight me.

Good stuff in there. I often wonder when I see these small, slow, rhd JDM imports what exactly the allure is. But now I know it’s knitting, and I’m forever better for it. But for the love of Pete, please no JDM crocheting machines.

GM think they Rolex;

Profit taking is an age-old tradition of musical chairs, and one that’s been quite a lot of fun with BTC lately. Same applies here, just don’t be the last to park your ass when the music stops.

Knowing Boston, it was put there as a urinal.
