Cheap supercars for broke boys: QtrLife Crisis

Ideal Media, March 3, 2022; Team T (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

There's room for all ages and genders on this ride.

Consider the fact that our hormones, patriarchal societies, the ways we're raised don't change so much. At the time of the Buddha, rich kids raced around in cool chariots with parasols and white stallions. Why? Image, chixdiggit, ego, testosterone, competitiveness, vanity, memories of life in the lower heavens (planes of existence in the deva worlds of the Sensual Sphere), who knows? But they did. And many people do it here and now, no longer limited to rich boys. Think of the new lowrider law in Los Angeles, California. Every kind of person in our U.S. car culture gets sucked in at least a little. Some a lot, but everyone a little. This is the Sensual Sphere (kama-loka). We aim for rebirth in the Fine Material Sphere or, at the very least, the sensuous heavens. Some more wisely aim for an end to rebirth or rearising in the hard-to-conceive Immaterial Sphere (the formless realms). Here, in the world of form (rupa), we want to experience things viscerally, corporeally, in the gut, on the skin, in the nether regions. We didn't make it that way. The karma of the being reborn here make it that way. So, given that we're wealthy and in the West with all its excesses, let's look at cars before they become illegal and we all go EV and start drag racing Priuses in tubes through our smart tubular cities, like that massive one being built in the desert. Kids, don't try this at home; ask a parent instead. But, you know, Knowledge and experience come from choices, and bad choices seem to yield the most knowledge and experience.

Cheap supercars for broke boys

(Ideal Media) Let's look at some not so expensive supercars for less than anyone thinks! Get in a 500 HP, 200 MPH beast that smokes a friend's BRZ. Some cheap cars make one look rich, from the Sl55 AMG, Fisker Karma, Aston Vantage, and Lotus Elise to the Dodge Viper, these cheap rides will make a statement wherever they're being driven. OK, OK, what's "cheap"? That depends. What's a "supercar"? That depends, too. Shut up. The average new car in America costs $50,000.00 so "cheap" varies.

U.S. Army Major General Smedley Darlington Butler's expose of American corporate imperialism. Maj. Gen. Butler said, "I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to major general. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I suspected I was just part of the racket all the time. Now I am sure of it."

FEAR: "Let's Have a War (So You Can Go Die)"

There's so many of us/There's too many of us (repeat)!
  

Let's have a war. So you can go die.

Let's have a war. We can all use the money.

Let's have a war. We need the space.

Let's have a war. Clean out this place.

  
It already started in the city; suburbia will be just as easy.
There's too many of us/There's so many of us (repeat)!

Let's have a war. Jack up the Dow Jones.

Let's have a war. We can start in New Jersey.

Let's have a war. Blame it on the middle class.

Let's have a war. We're like rats in a cage.

  
It already started in the city; suburbia will be just as easy.
There's too many of us/There's so many of us (repeat)!

Let's have a war. Sell the rights to The Network.

Let's have a war. General Motors get fat like last time.

Let's have a war. Give guns to the queers.

Let's have a war. The enemy's within.

  
It already started in the city; suburbia will be just as easy.
There's so many of us/There's too many of us (repeat)!

"Revenge of the Electric Car" (video)

Wisdom Quarterly

(LA Times) In 2006, when director Chris Paine released "Who Killed the Electric Car?" the story of GM's short-lived, battery-powered EV-1, the villains were many, but consumer apathy played its role. With "Revenge of the Electric Car," Paine's entertaining follow-up, top GM exec Bob Lutz gives much credit for the company's 180 to consumer outrage. Wall Street might want to take notice of how quickly tides can change. "Revenge" follows the three-way race between GM, Nissan, and Silicon Valley rogues Tesla Motors to bring an electric model successfully to market... More

The futuristic zero-emission vehicle will be powered by lithium-ion battery packs capable of between 160 and 300 miles (257 and 482 kilometers) per charge. More>>
