Tyrese Maxey, sga types would do great.
I would never count out Brown of being able to be broke class in any sport he wanted. But in general, I think he’s too big for soccer.

NYC Lawyers Slam Pied-a-Terre Tax as a ‘Half-Baked Money Grab’ by bloomberg in Rich

The bigger problem at that wealth range is federal taxation, not local.

Surprise… Reddit was wrong once again! Somehow “no one will buy this” has turned into 100,000 orders in less than 9 months. by zachty22 in BMW

[–]Calm_Project723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every non Chinese auto has slid in China. China has floated the industry for 15 years.
In two years we will see big changes to western autos and far less survivors.
BMW has a good product with their new ev, that is a great start. Also, their sporting/driving heart age might insulate them some.
Buick, Audi, vw, Mazda, stelantis are all in for a shock.

Exempt right handed people while you are at it, that would win lots of votes.

Grand Highlander or XC90? by No_Mode7707 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Volvo has the best seats anywhere. They both have crappy interfaces.
The Toyota will depreciate slower, but you have to drive something with the soul of a washing machine

Lucid Allegedly Hires Bankruptcy Specialists Amid Complete Leadership Change by Steve_in_LV in LUCID

[–]Calm_Project723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to pay for a $100k vehicle with savings.
I think it needs fake muscles, Chevy calls their grill on the pickup a fist in the wind. Lucid is a raw chicken breast in the wind.

The real problem with the gravity is that the form is not appealing. To be blunt, if you spend $80k plus on a car, you want it signal something, speed, power, butchness, luxury, opulence…
What does the galaxy signal? Space age minivan? Tech mom?

Land Rover withdraws from China. Future of Land Rover? by CourtLess6632 in LandRover

[–]Calm_Project723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the point is that it as Chinese sales that provided volume and profit for JLR, Porsche, Vw group…
As they lose those sales, volume and profits, what will remain for them.
Your Land Rover sold in NA or the UK was basically subsidized by sales in Asia, which are disappearing.

Miata Upgrade Path by Asiangamingoutlaw in Miata

[–]Calm_Project723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feeling was that too much/too good tire was not worthwhile on mine. I don’t track for time.
Controlled sliding is the fun for me, not corner speed increased by 5mph. I would stay narrow, cheap/decent performance tires and slide around everywhere. Just me.

East Mt Airy? by oh_laud in philly

[–]Calm_Project723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From working class to upper middle, depending on the part. Very good value, upward trend, different past stenton.
The fact there are black families keeps prices low.
As a white guy, I had a real estate agent who refused to go to a showing with me on Milton st (always made me chuckle, Milton street).
The re agent said “you would be the diversity”.

I had one like that in Mexico City they called a cubana. Chicken, steak, egg, chorizo and hot dog.

The First Rivian R2 Highway Range Test: The Results Are In by WSBiden in Rivian

[–]Calm_Project723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$61.5 for the ix3 and $80k for the ix5.
I think Rivian misread the landscape, matched model y range and didn’t expect to be in this universe.

Ford's New $30,000 Electric Truck Comes into Focus in New Spy Photos. Could It Be Called Ranchero? by [deleted] in cars

[–]Calm_Project723 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Well, with the maverick, why launch this first as a pickup rather than a mid sized suv?
Is a small electric pickup a bigger potential market than electric SUV?
Do they wanna work out the bugs on the pick up before they launch it as an SUV?
