    Will Musk be the 1st trillionaire?

    To the question - yes, he will. Funny how in The Fourth K - probably the only Mario Puzo's book that is both NOT about the Corleones AND is a good book - Louis Inch, the tycoon secretly aspiring to become the first trillionaire, plans to do it with oil and grain speculations, over decades. That...

    What are you watching on tv right now?

    You could think I'm watching Anna Sawai's butt, but I'm actually looking at the reason why Amsoil don't advertise. Because their whole ad budget goes in subliminal ads! Now the cat is out of the bag. Remember, you read this here first.

    Awaiting new Hyundai Theta II Engine Install

    The thing is - driving in any major city is severe service. Suburbia dream might differ, but city is severe service no matter what.

    TOYOTA possibly bringing small truck ( Corolla ) to compete with FORD Maverick in U.S..

    Two words: Chicken tax. If it's built outside of the US, it won't be importable. And the US factories are already building way juicier models. There's not enough profit in this thing to free space in US factories for it. This is for other markets, and there are plenty of Subaru Baja-like...

    The Jony Ive EV Ferrari - looks like a flattened Equinox EV

    What I want to know is, 30 years from now, when I buy one of these at a Barrett Jackson auction for a megabazillion dollars, will I have to make sure it has been restored with original Ferrari batteries and electrical motors, or will restomods using (much more powerful by then) motors from a...

    The Jony Ive EV Ferrari - looks like a flattened Equinox EV

    This just in straight from Maranello: ...an unfortunate mixup during the final PR package assembly had us reveal this with the wrong name. The correct model name to use in all subsequesnt communications is the Temurario. Thanks. Over. Sorry for bringing this up in the third discussion board...
