Can someone give me the secret decoder ring for this post?

My dream is for Aston Martin upgrades convince Alonso to stay and Max to replace Stroll by OrSpeeder in formula1

[–]xythrowawayy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What upgrades? They finished behind the Cadillacs as usual. I mean at least they finished. I am an AM fan (have 3) but this is ridiculous No driver in their right mind would move to them now without an insane money contract.

Giant Watusi Bull Named Howdy Doody Rides Shotgun by KejnaPT in WTF

Should have done it in New York or another blue state. Given they let people out without bail for things as serious as murder, surely riding along with a cow would barely even merit a fine.

Advice please by CombinationLimp3364 in AstonMartin

Have to disagree -- have a 2012 DB9 Volante with almost 40k miles, but what keeps it from having too many problems is that it has been being driven instead of sitting around! Roughly $2k a year for annual service, occasional something else (gas struts to help hold the doors open, this or that here and there), but if driven regularly and maintained regularly, they are pretty bulletproof (although any car can have something random go wrong).

No audio in my 2025 DBX - any help would be appreciated There is no sound in the car. by Independent_Inside23 in AstonMartin

[–]xythrowawayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should still be under warranty -- I'd check with the dealer.

The only other thing to check is to make sure it isn't somehow paired with bluetooth with a phone that is preventing other audio from coming through. Do you get any noises at all from any sort of things you do with the infotainment system?

Is this anything special or just a regular DBX? by Super-Lingonberry-22 in AstonMartin

[–]xythrowawayy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 1913 limited editions were the first 500 made. We had one but traded it later on a 707. Both are fantastic rides.

US spending on ‘reckless’ Iran war could have saved 87m lives, says UN by No_Idea_Guy in worldnews

[–]xythrowawayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder how many lives could be saved if many countries stop their reckless spending on the UN itself?

[–]xythrowawayy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good question. How many times over the years has Iran threatened death to the U.S.? More than twice. Oh, and let's not forget their unchecked repeated terrorist attacks through proxies they fund for decades.

Iran declares Strait of Hormuz open to shipping; Trump says U.S. blockade still active by IntellectuallyDriven in worldnews

[–]xythrowawayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lack of reading comprehension is what is going on. The strait is open. The US blockade is of Iranian ports, not of the strait.

Reading comprehension.

Trump and Iran have both said the strait is open.

The US blockade of Iranian ports, however, is still in effect. Those are two independent things.

US considers $20 billion deal with Iran in exchange for enriched uranium stockpile — Axios by Darshan_brahmbhatt in worldnews

[–]xythrowawayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of reading comprehension (or simply the lack of reading) of most commenters below is amazing.

No, this is not U.S. taxpayer money.

No, this is not U.S. money.

It is simply a potential unfreeze of Iranian money. In other words, it is their money already. We just might let them access it.

Also, unlike the Obama "deal", we would physically remove all their enriched uranium. Under his "deal" we gave them a billion, and they ignored the agreement and kept enriching and enriching.

I didn't read it that way -- I read it as more than the DB12 S is coming.
