Rumorpile: Scion FR-S Convertible To Appear In Late 2013 Or 2014

R.I.P. I really liked this actor and especially in the Mortal Kombat series of Movies. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, actor in ‘Mortal Kombat’ and ‘The Man in the High Castle,’ dies at 75

With all the chat here on this socalled good looking guy, I decided to look it up, I barely remember this as it was in and out of the news. Luigi Mangione is the individual accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024. Thompson was shot from behind as he was leaving an investor conference in Manhattan. Mangione faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder in state court and federal murder charges, which could potentially lead to the death penalty if convicted.

I don't think indifference is right here.  It was a calculated crime and a murder. When we first saw the video and didn't know a UPenn graduate with top grades pulled this off, it was shocking.  Thompson got gunned down at 6:45 am in Midtown Manhattan.  That's creepy. Personally, I don't think the CEO was a good guy.  You can read some Machiavellian vibes from looking at him.  You don't get to the top in such a big outfit without doing some bad things along the way. It's like the 23 y.o. blonde UK law student in Dubai who got busted for drugs.  They are overly harsh over there.  But, because of how she looks, people feel for her more - a 23 y.o. blonde in prison in Dubai ... that can't be.  Now that they've put Luigi's face to this and it's all over the news, people have softened on what he did. The reports say that he was changing quickly and getting weirder ... Santa Monica to San Francisco to Hawaii ... and writing radical diatribes similar to the Unabomber from years ago.  His mom was getting concerned before this happened.  He had back issues and was in pain but I don't think he had his surgical claim denied ... nor would that justify it. Unchecked vigilante stuff can be dangerous.

I never understood the matte paint job on a car.  It kinda looks okay on a certain type of restored classic hot rod/muscle car of some sort representing some sort of theme. I could buy into that.  But on a brand new sports car, exotic hyper car, it looks stupid. These kinds of cars NEED to be presented with pride because these types of cars SCREAM look at me.  And metallic bright shiny paint jobs is the ONLY way.   I could accept a matte paint job on sedan luxury barges. It might present itself gracefully if low key is the message. But really...how can a matte paint job on a $300 000 Bentley or Rolls Royce be a low key and humble message?  A luxury barge costing that much is not humble nor is it low key...   And doing a matte paint job on an entry level vehicle just looks even more cheap and pathetic for your image.... I dont get matte paint jobs...   

Interesting observation is that this seems to be a partial matte paint job and I have plenty of coworkers who thought the matte paint jobs were cool and only after they bought the auto and read on it, discovered that you cannot run a matte paint job through a touch or touchless auto wash. They have to be hand washed. Paint jobs are terrible when you do not like to do things like hand wash your auto and cannot just run it through a auto wash. One coworker found a place that does hand wash detail jobs for matte paint and so he has resolved himself to pay $200 a month to have his matte painted auto washed and vacuumed. Crazy.
