      Random Thoughts Thread

      @G. David Felt I agree with this broad rule of thumb.  I once tried octopus in a seafood salad at a Y2K celebration.  I thought it was chicken.  I kept chewing and it was weird and rubbery.  With my mouth full, I again asked what it was.  I was told "polpo," initially misunderstanding it to be "pollo." I went to the bathroom and spit it out. I now do eat things I didn't like before - lamb, pork chops, and more shellfish.  The few times I've had lobster lately, the quality seems to have gone down, so I'm not as impressed as I used to be. - - - - - What I was going to say ... People love to talk about cars.  What may initially start out as a tentative (parking lot) conversation turns enthusiastic when it's genuinely only cars that you want to talk about.

      An oldie but a goodie. It could almost run on just its instrumentals.

      Industry News: Jaguar Land Rover Gets Lifeline in the form of a UK Tariff Exemption

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      No matter what, this is a terrible deal and I honestly see no reason for it as while #47 can say it is a great deal as he got 1.8% on U.S. products, the world is turning their back on his Bully approach to others and even if some U.S. manufacturers are able to sell into the U.K., eventually this will become U.K. saying they are being abused by the U.S. as the Tariff is higher to get into the U.S. All a matter of semantics, but no matter what, the U.S. standing has been tarnished, and it will take decades to rebuild the relationship as even this deal will be questioned due to the inconsistent way this administration flip flops on things based on the whim of a child man.

      Mini and Rolls is probably 30k units a year.  Land Rover is the most since Jaguar is near zero at this point.  It could create a weird race for BMW to push out a year's worth of Mini's in Q1 to try to beat Land Rover to get the lower tariff.
