Car of The Day
Cadillac XP-840 Eldorado Fastback, 1965. A V16 two-seater coupe designed under Chuck Jordan which was the culmination of Cadillac’s experiments with multi-cylinder concepts (12 and V16). There was no back window, instead a reversing camera replaced the interior rear-view mirror, 60 years later this is now used by Polestar and others.

Elon Musk
New York Moves to Shutter Tesla Dealerships in Blow to Musk
Lawmakers in New York state are moving to shut down Elon Musk’s Tesla dealerships in yet another blow to the billionaire CEO.
New York State Sen. Patricia Fahy and other lawmakers are fighting to remove a waiver that allows Tesla to operate five in-person dealerships in New York, instead forcing the company to sell their vehicles through dealer franchises, The New York Times reported Sunday.
- Why do they need a waiver to open a dealership?bainbridge
- some places (like New York, evidently), have laws that forbid automakers from also owning dealerships to prevent competing with independent dealers/franchisors.monNom
- I think dealers originally came about to prevent consumers from suing manufacturers directly (no contract with manufacturer, the contract is with the dealer)monNom
- But laws changed over time to give consumers some recourse against manufacturers, so the dealer concept is a bit of an anachronism now.monNom

Russia-Ukraine Invasion
“You've no clue what you're on about. Post proof of those imaginary North Koreans in Ukraine”.
—MilanAside from all of the photographic and video evidence, which you'd no doubt smear as synthesised propaganda, about straight from the horse's mouth?
http://kcna.kp/en/article/q/7f7e…
Or are you going to err on a technicality with them having fought in the Kursk region?
- Kursk is not in Ukraine, idiot.Milan
- Yes, hence erring on technicalities, idiot.Nairn
- Shift the goalposts, go on.Nairn
- What's your point? North Korean boys got some training in modern warfare while helping completely cleanse Kursk. Again, they never entered Ukraine, retard.Milan
- The point is to highlight how fork-tongued an utterly unreliable you are. They're 'involved in the conflict', you implied they weren't. You are deceitful.Nairn
- Or, perhaps, just utterly credulous and a bit stupid.Nairn
- https://en.wikipedia…Nairn
- You said they were fighting in Ukraine, reliable one.Milan
- Where did I? I specifically allowed for your interpretation. I just wonder how you'd howl if there were EU/US boots on the ground, near the front lines.Nairn
- You are a regurgitating shill with questionable mores and a proclivity for targetted bullshit. Transparent as all your kind.Nairn
- Sorry - "EU/US boots on the ground, near the front lines. IN UKRAINE herself". I double-dare you to suggest you'd not consider them part of the conflict.Nairn
- Let's ignore the fact that NATO countries sent most of their military equipment and ammo to Ukraine along with intel officers, trainers, mercenaries...Milan
- Using the U.S. satellites for all targeting and Starlink for communications.Milan
- And they still lost.Milan

UFO of the day
Another recent animated sequence. This one has an interesting horseshoe shape. Like I mentioned previously, there seems to be many different types of UAP in the sky at any given time. I can photograph numerous airliners coming in for landing and get a mix of different UAP. Helicopters get buzzed by these things too, but airliners can get buzzed/tagged multiple times at once.
- Could it be of interdimensional origin?utopian
- That is one of the current theories. The way they move and the speed? It wouldn't surprise me.futurefood
- They seem to travel thousands of ft through the air in fractions of a second.futurefood
- Looks like dust or little tiny flies.monospaced
