发帖数: 212 | 8 下列只是一系列猜测哈：
BAIL OUT之前的美国是个高消费高泡沫的国家。
生活消费水平高，LIVING OF COST高，这其中，股价，房地产也高也贵，很多
带有泡沫。
BAIL OUT计划失败以后，美国维持从前高消费模式的最后希望将破灭。
整个国家很可能被迫进入经济紧缩，关于国民生活的各项消费支出必须
重新定价，尤其是房产，股票，医疗，保险，教育，律师费等等。。
为维持人民的生活，房地产会贬值，股价会下降，社会上的价格泡沫一个个
破裂，慢慢浮现并接近其真实价值。同时消费水平降低，LIVING OF COST不得不
降低，美国将更加依赖中国的进口，更加依赖类似WALMART,ALDI这样的
商店，人民开始学习节省，而不是如以前那样借债进行高消费。
倒霉的那些人是在高消费的美国时代购买了大量带有泡沫的房产和股票，并没有
及时出手，带入低消费时代的美国被社会重新定价，导致手中的财产大幅度缩水。

The Irish government has outlined .2bn of spending cuts in an austerity

path to economic recovery.
More than half of the expenditure reductions – .15bn – will be made up
through cuts to politically sensitive social welfare, health and education
budgets. A further 50m is being cut from capital expenditure, resulting in
the shelving of a host of flagship infrastructure projects.

marry a woman without divorcing his husband.
While many wildly speculated that the legalization of same-sex marriage

之前版上有谁说z没有torque，还没什么感觉，四季胎4500 rpm就可以burn out了。因
为抓地原因，我试过最多只能4000起步，这样grip loss最少(再低就更没torque了)。
上了两个gforce的drag光头胎，可现在问题是，即使拉到6k，也只能转一点，烟都不出
，胎热不起来啊，怎么办? 而且z似乎也有什么啥车over ride油门，一般磨胎都是带着
刹车，可z不行。
今天试了3.5k~5.5k区间，500间隔的不同转速，发现5k起步最快，一档滑动也少，不滑
之后转速落到4k，不会损失太多。虽然赢了两个fox body的5.0野马和一个4.6的sn95野
