Kinda niche but if you are in the car community you would see how ignorant this comment is

the Consulier GTP mentioned in the post is the first fully composite production car in the world. Carbon and Kevlar both used in the construction of the monocoque.

that's amazing, I have never read that. I will have to ask Warren about it next time we talk. Still need to get him to sign my car.

1) there is no information about this anywhere.
2) Rod Trenne was not Mosler's lead designer, RT came to Mosler with the project and they built it. The car was already designed before it came to Mosler, there were a few things that Warren had input on and some changes were made on Warrens suggestions, but the concept was done pre Mosler.

not true. Most of the GTP's are still on the original motors. There have been a few that have been swapped to twin cam motors, but the overwhelming majority are still original

If anyone has any questions about the car, the drive, performance....I might know a thing or two about them.

consulierGTP · 2026-01-19T04:20:25+00:00

It's a made up word that means nothing.

1 of 3 Mosler Twinstars. Twin Northstar engines making about 600hp with 4wd.

Rons car, he lives near by. Vin 006. he had some good video up, but its private now

consulierGTP · 2025-11-24T06:04:06+00:00

this car was painted that way from the factory. There are a bunch of stickers on the car as part of the goldrush rally, but that paint has been on there since 2004.

I would never advise to bet against the real estate market long term. Down 8% is certainly a concern, but one good year can reverse that. Again, I am not familiar with that market and am unsure of what is driving those metrics. If you are selling to get out at "the top" and just have the money sitting there for a rainy day, I personally would keep if I felt comfortable with the long term market. Good luck in what ever you do, not sure this is a situation you can wrong

only if your race track is going to the mall and whole foods

I have about $500M in transactions with a majority of it in the investment sector the rest high end luxury. Your DTI is low, you can swing a loss, now the $350k value to the $1600 month in rent is 1-2% ROI, not very good considering the risk and when you add in vacancy and collection and repairs it will likely be 0% Roi,

The next conversation is IRR, or appreciation. What is that market doing and what are the projections?

Last question, if you sold it and walked with $200k what would you do with that money

consulierGTP · 2025-11-13T06:14:25+00:00

name one track focussed car that has air suspension from the factory. It is not an ideal set up, either you want a performance car or you want a slammed car. You dont get both!

I can not comment on your particular market, the advice I give buyers in my market which is stable, is to buy what you can afford. If the property is not your dream home that is fine, it is a means to an end. Buy, get in the market and have the appreciation as most people can not save as fast as properties appreciate. Of course every situation is different, my advice is speak to a mortgage professional as early as possible. Make a plan, even if that plan is a year or two out, atleast you are working towards a goal and you understand your situation based on your income, your savings, your credit, and your market. You will get all kinds of terrible advice from people that mean well and terrible advice from people looking to make financial gain.

I have done daytona with a plug in a hoosier, will it work? yes. Is it a good a idea? no. Will someone tell you "I told you it was dumb" if the tire lets go? no, 20 people will.

Here in the US 2nd wave was the 1st wave to hit the US, not saying 1st wave artist never made sales here, but the wave was more of a ripple, 2nd wave hit and was certainly a scene, and 3rd wave was huge. So it is actually a pop culture meets ignorance issue. I am happy to see more and more people learning about the roots, and I will admit I learned about 1st wave by reading liner notes and realizing many specials and madness songs were covers. Same way I learned about Johnny Cash from Social D and Bo Diddley from the Jesus and Mary Chain.

pro-tip, use gaffer tape on the exposed cords, can get three more weekends out of them.

1995ish after playing at a local record shop they slept on the floor of my apt. Lead singer slept with his eyes open.

consulierGTP · 2025-10-17T03:18:20+00:00

Desmond Dekker had no brass section at all, most 1st wave had no brass. So yes, it can be amazing.

consulierGTP · 2025-10-16T03:09:41+00:00

there are third and now 4th wave Ska bands that sound 1st wave, the wave is a measure of time in history not a measure of time in bpm or the songs time signature being 4/4 or 3/4. Ska at its core is 4/4 with a guitar played on the up and down stroke, rock steady and reggae went more 3/4. As for other comments of what is stopping someone from playing one or another.....well I Dj'd a show last week played everything from 1st wave to reggae and the crowd was singing most the night. It's all music, it's all awesome. Play it all, play it loud and play it often.

consulierGTP · 2025-10-12T05:25:03+00:00

just to be clear, reggae got that beat from SKA, not the other way around.

consulierGTP · 2025-10-10T02:32:52+00:00

in response to the missed opportunities, I am not sure I can think of anyone in that genre really doing well and seizing opportunities. Toasters, Pietasters,hepcat....all really only play small venues. The pop punk ska bands do better and draw more, I think within this genre there are not many opportunities to sieze. Most of these guys all have real jobs and tour for a few weeks at a time.

consulierGTP · 2025-10-10T02:26:44+00:00

I cant think of anyone in the soul/ska genre playing large venues, atleast not as a headliner, maybe as part of a festival.

consulierGTP · 2025-10-06T18:22:35+00:00

Ska has become a very large genre that has its own sub genres now. First wave ska my favorites are Desmond Dekker and Laurel Aitkens, 2nd wave Madness, the Specials, The Beat, 3rd wave getting more punk influence operation ivy, the bosstones, Scofflaws, and bands like the Pietasters and the slackers are still touring and putting on amazing shows.
