F series is starting to become a joke. So much of that “premium” brand yet such shitty stigma for those that think I buy cars for that is a fool. These cars are a joke to many

Also caught the new Aston DBS Superleggera there as well! Nice ORANGE calipers! Orange is the NEW black :) Nice wheels as well in terms of style with the Orange caliper. Black is not for me but Im sure they can be ordered in other colors.

Made my after workout cool down fun checking these out!

I'm surprised those DB11s were all V12s. Any Vantages there?

Carmageddon for Tesla Model 3: US Deliveries Plunge 55% to 60% from Q4, Laid-off Delivery Employees tell Reuters
by Wolf Richter • Feb 9, 2019 • 94 Comments
Most everyone in the US who ever wanted & could afford a high-priced Model 3 now has one? Pent-up demand for luxury cars in the era of Carmageddon is a tricky thing, especially when tax credits phase out.

https://wolfstreet.com/2019/02/09/carma ... l-reuters/

The comments are as 'interesting' as the article over all. Interesting debate and viewpoints on Tesla and E in general.

The comments are full of old :wap: 's that would rather drive their beat ass Luminas and Tauruses and VW Westfalias they bought for $1k than spend $60k on a new high tech luxury car. I think a lot of people want Tesla to fail just because they cannot afford the vehicles.

For all the :sass: you dole out about financial ruination, you sure do love to :wasteful: on :plac:

Offing the minivan for a new crossover thing that's worse in every way for your needs makes zero sense.

The luxury car market in general is only so big. I really do think that demand has been satiated, and all these :derp: waiting for the "cheap" Model 3 (that will never come) is in for a long (forever) wait.

Any form of :plac: is :wasteful: This has been well established, and doing it under the guise of reduced monthly cashflow or whatever :bs: is just folly.
