Oh I agree with you guys 100% I was just saying I believe him when he says they scaled too quickly and that is why they started scamming people. I'm paraphrasing there a bit.

The whole covid thing cracks me up. I haven't seen a sports car fire sale like this in all my years.

Yea, we'll see if Clay Thom "makes all wrongs right" in time. My bet he won't be able to sell the new facility and has to file bankruptcy which means people will get NOTHING. There is a chance that original owners that cosigned their cars, will get the cars back from the buyers, but it's complicated to say the least.

Some viewers caught the freudian slip at 5:18 and posted it in the comments. He actually said "We'll make sure everyone on both ends of the stick whether you're owned a title or car or money, all the rights will be wronged. Then at 6:13 he says, "There's nothing we won't do to get through this."


I own industrial/commercial property in OC, and while it seems strange with many companies leaving the state...the market is going bananas at the moment. I don't know what the commercial real estate market is like in Ontario, but I get 3-4 calls a week on a property I have listed in OC with offers 1.25M over what I paid about 10 months ago.

Confession time. I haven't been driving the Porsche much. It is just so much easier to jump in the Honda and go run errands than take the Pcar. You know the Pcar requires unhooking the battery maintainer, closing the frunk and engine lids(paranoia driven from forums) and having to use the California Duster before leaving(after all you can't drive a dusty Porsche...right?). Today which is sunny with temps in the 60's I had errands to run and decided to take the "other" car and it was my best decision so far today. Our cars, at least for me, have some kind of voodoo magic. Once I get comfortable driving it I am happy and feeing 20 years younger. I don't know if it is the handling, the power, the comfort, the "connected" to the car/road feel, the smell of the leather or all combined, but G.D. I love this car.

Ship it to me. I will happily install a solar panel in the rear and leave it parked outside (so it can charge). It will then be ready for you any time you want to drive it.

Free of charge I'll even drive if for you periodically to make sure everything is staying well lubricated.

If you wash it then you get afraid to drive it for fear of getting it dirty again. Not driving these cars (says the guy who routinely lets his sit for multiple months sometimes...) should be a felony offense.

And uhh... I'm saving the planet ... yeah that's it ... the planet... Totally not just too lazy to bother...
