Yeah, you missed this yesterday.

Does anyone else feel slightly strange now that $kay isn’t doing the COTD congrats? Just feels slightly off, now.

10 amazing years. I can’t believe I was here for the whole thing. Thank you for all you did. 

They are probably automatics, which have less hp, mandatory electric power steering, and a 4 speed tranny. They command a far less of a premium than the more desirable manuals.

I think you are out of the loop. The only NSXes that are going for 30k are really poor condition or high mileage or over-modded Gen 1s. I used to own one and I’ve been watching the prices climb significantly. The Gen 2s, I’ve seen one at 135K and it was out the door almost instantly.

I like this tip, thank you

So, not a troll question, but if you were in the market for 100-200k hybrid fastercars, why get this over a NSX?

Yep, I figured there wasn’t a magic wand or anything, most of that is logically extrapolatable. But then again, I don’t shop cars for a living, so I don’t know if there is anything I missed. 

Hey Tom,

Ariel Atom 500. Hear me out.

People don’t even understand the rules to the board game Monopoly and it’s been around for 80 years. Asking them to understand this when they still struggle with a one lane roundabout I think will go poorly.

Based on what he wrote my guess is that unless the technology advancements are accessible to the working class, non-trivial amounts of wealth inequality also develops as the tech does. Which is true. Your point and his (if so) are not mutually exclusive.

I suspect that you might get better/more ranting opportunities at the guy who thinks living in a city sucks. 

Why is it that you guys only suddenly hone in on the agricultural workers after I mentioned “everbody got wealthier”.

So with all the camo on it I may be off a little, but I keep seeing a Toyota 86 crossed with a 360 Modena on the front end. I don’t think I mind, though. Rear haunches look pretty rote for a supercar mid engine type design. Hope we get to see it in the full paint soon.

Again, my point was that not everyone got wealthier, which is what you stated. You don’t have to stick just on agriculture to retain that concept, either. You word things a little vaguely, and people pointed out it wasn’t accurate.

It’s probably because in the technical and literary sense not everybody got wealthier. Contextually, it was a bit vague. I get what you are trying to say, though, that overall automation helped a lot of people in the emergent economy once the transition was developed. No argument there. 

The people who were able to remain in business when competing against the economies of scale became wealthier. A lot of small farms have a large financial incentive to sell and move on as they simply don’t have as many robots to compete with the big kids, and usually buyout offers for land are typically more lucrative…

While I had the same thought re: should have gone public later, I figured the hand was forced due to the critical need for additional money.

Honestly I’ll work with either EN-EE-ESS or Ness in a convo, but I always internally balk a little when people say “Mare-io.” I mean, the guy’s got Italian heritage and he says his own name often enough in various media. Why does that happen?
