Came here to say this exact thing. I’m having a hard enough time reconciling being 42 years old. I don’t need mathematical errors further messing with my existential crisis.

I have seen way more of Elon’s pasty, flabby belly than can be considered even remotely appropriate. Can we put a pause on photos of him jumping around on Trump’s stage like a lunatic?

If there’s one thing EVs have confirmed for me - it’s that 0-60 times are in no way tied to a car being interesting or fun.

I bought a WRX a year ago - had they still offered the Crosstrek with a 6 speed I’d have probably gone that route. But the very idea of a 6-speed Crosstrek with the WRX’s 2.4L engine... oh man, what a fantastic car that would be.

of course he was. He’s a major public figure that was incredibly influential in charting the course of a Presidency (granted the worst Presidency in history - but still). Dude had influence. And the fact that he owns (owned) a Madison Ave luxury condo and a Palm beach condo - in addition to all sorts of luxury items…

Trump would already be framing this as a ‘third attempt’ on his life by some crazed democrat from Commiefornia.  

I have to admit, I am somewhat genuinely shocked to see one of the wealthy, powerful, elites - actually - face real consequences for something that they said.  

I can’t even express in words how much I would love this car.  I’d take it over any super car out there.  Of course no doubt it’s also super car priced...

As long as you can find one unmodified, the last generation WRX STi (VA). Particularly if, as suggested, any new STIs are going to be either hybrid or full EV.

Three minutes is basically sex. Maybe even a little longer. I agree with the airport on this one.

Well, no, we also know that he’s sitting on $200 k of negative equity on the Ferrari.  Just pure, unaccounted for, debt - that he has to get out from under.  Unless he can sell that car for something far closer to what he owes on it, he shouldn’t be spending $2k a month on a vanity purchase.

Oh man - I was so stoked about these last year. Almost put money down to reserve one. Glad I didn’t - because as much as I love almost everything about it, they’re listed at $80k for the RWD version in Canada. And there’s no way I’m paying that much for it.

It boggles my mind that Jeep is struggling. I swear, at least one in every 3 cars on the road is a relatively recent model. They can’t be investing that much into R&D and I refuse to believe that they’re all that expensive to build.

Well, sure.

I will go so far as to grant that he might need a car. Some jobs / areas really do have that as a necessity. But a $70k Corvette - hell, no. I think I posted elsewhere that if he needs a car, it should be a 10 year old, 10 K used Corolla.  At max.  Just expensive enough and new enough to be reliable enough to meet its…

I think it’s bigger than that though. I have friends in high end banking / law (I’m but a humble public servant) - and it’s not just a self perception thing for them. The idea that a car (and a suit / watch / shoes / pen / drink / house / etc) form an integral part of your marketed image bit is foisted on them by…

It stuns me that someone could fuck up so badly financially - literally stare that amount of debt in the face - and still think they should be off driving a $70k sports car.

“Bro” hahahahaha

People are acting like he just lacks creativity, so cribs from obvious science fiction. Either intentionally or accidentally.

That’s not pragmatism, that’s callousness.
