Blue Flame straight six from the 53' Corvette.

This. Not just any profit.. 12 friggin k. It seems almost unbelievable after he bought it for a $10k discount from a dealer.

“I will take care of smog check”

That was a glorious review.

Needing 5 ECUs and needing all 5 of them to “agree” with each other isn’t my idea of exquisite engineering. This is one of the long list of cars I’d love to drive in mint condition once, but never own.

Wait. You made a profit off of one of these and you’re complaining?

Like a show horse, something massive like a Clydesdale... best appreciated with some physical as well as existential distance.

The VW Phaeton’s pains and tribulations can be summed up very quickly in a total of six characters (plus a space):

What the fuck... why was this not on the police side of the riot near the end of Dark Knight Rises?

Star for excellent use of “handle” when referring to liquid volumes.

This seems like a good candidate for a build in the vein of the Porsche 928 Tank in Leonard Part 6. Fortunately, I wasted all my money on sim racing gear and DLC, so I’m unable to capitalize such a project. Any other takers?

please dreamers don’t waste my time add is self explanatory

Actually it didn’t - the Shuttle could only hit 17,500 and Earth’s escape velocity is 25,020! That’s the problem with these “performance” products. They try to wow you with big numbers, but never explain the practical problems. Shuttle can’t actually leave Earth orbit. Veyron only has 10 minutes of range at top speed.…

Yeah, but when a cruise ship loses an engine to a fire, it ends up adrift with the toilets pouring out into the halls. Then they need an aircraft carrier to come along and rescue them.

I wish I wasn’t constantly comparing my looks to others and obsessing over my skin, it’s not my best trait! I live in the Bay Area, and the generally health conscious environment definitely made it easier to quit. I think it’s very interesting how our environments and social group influence our habits, so thanks for…

I don’t entirely disagree, but our government bans a lot of less harmful things than cigarettes. It’s illegal to drive without a seatbelt, Berkeley is trying to ban plastic straws, and most commenters on this site were supportive of the UK’s ban on commercials promoting gender stereotypes and lamented that it would…

So this is almost 12X the cost of a single 5,000+ passenger Harmony of the Sea type ship that displaces twice the tonnage and is arguably just as sophisticated to build. Maybe it is time to start commissioning ship building somewhere else.

Ha! Cancer, heart disease, stroke and premature aging are super fun! I actually don’t think smoking should be fully banned, but I don’t have a problem with the government making it harder for teenagers to get an extremely deadly, addictive substance.

Eugh! I, like, can’t even get wifi throughout this tens of billions boat! I can’t even can, right now!

This reads like an episode of Wheeler Dealers. (That’s not a complaint, btw.)
