I like the 10x mark up from super market prices on all drinks (which are already marked up). Maybe 15x mark up from manufacturer's cost of production. Absolutely insane. Wish I could sell stuff like that. I have an old Golf TDI that is on it's way out - paid $6500 for it when I got it. I'll...

I've got a Kindle and it works fantastically. It seriously is great that you only have to recharge it about once a month. Also, Amazon service was extremely helpful. I dropped my Kindle from about 6ft up and it broke the ink screen. Fortunately the warranty allows 1 free replacement for any...

http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/angebote/driving-experiences/co-pilot-fahrten/bmw-ring-taxi.html It's running 195 euro right now. But, nope, I haven't been on the Ring Taxi. I have been in front of it :-D. Not sure if it's worth the price for one lap - you'd be better off getting a "rent a...

Right right, true enough. I was illustrating from a simple newtonian physics view point. I mean down to it there are thousands of factors the weight will affect. Tire hysteresis, faster heating of materials, contact patch shape, etc etc. I mean, we're not gonna cover everything in a forum.

Sorry, but that analysis is flawed. Great try though. Take this into consideration when not looking at downforce (which doesn't include mass anyway): You slide when Fmaxfriction < Fcentripetal when uFn < mv^2/r umg < mv^2/r well the m's cancel out, so you are left with ug < v^2/r The...

Hopefully it doesn't depreciate so much. I think it's a great car. Actually have my eyes on a dealer's build slot that's still open and at a discount... But then, it's hard to tell with these super high price cars about depreciation. Case in point the F430 Scuderia - I recently saw an '09 with...

I saw some pics of this and thought it was awesome. Different mid-engined car. It looks like the V8 and V10 R8s are holding value similarly to how well the NSX did. What's the forum's take on the R8 GT? Overpriced and going to plumment for a non-worth while upgrade or collector's item that will...
