I'm confused. What does no front plate have to do with being a rich dude?

I would assume he is referring to the owner not caring about the $110 fine each time a cop decides to nail him for running sans front plate.

One issue with these cars once a good fire begins is the location of the lithium batteries (which we all know can really burn thanks to Boeing Corp) which are below the 70L fuel cell...

I heard his interview on CFRB and he said he heard a 'pop' in the engine area and then the fire really got going. For a car that is a few cases of wine away from a million dollars - you would think that an on board H3R system would be included with outputs in the engine bay and under the dash with sensors and manual user access?

By installing a fire supression system, Porsche would admit fault with their design. Also, would you guys a car with ansprinkler system?

The car had a fe installed in front of the passenger seat. I made a comment to him about how much my wife hated that mounting in my last car. We both laughed about it....

a few tidbit of info/ rumor I have learned.

1. There had been complaints earlier in the week for that very pump not auto shutting off.
2. The girl in the pic is his daughter
3. The lawsuit is in fact moving forward. Insurance company would only pay him cars purchase worth and he can not replace with settlement.
