Marshall Haas 🏎

@howardcjohn Cheap Persian rug under that bad boy would really spice it up 👌

@marshal Basically have the same setup

Inside my garage studio: I always wanted a workspace surrounded by cars. I have a beautiful home office, but I choose to be in here working and tinkering most days. It’s always a bit messy, but that’s kind of the point. It’s my place to be creative.

@cameracoz I dropped out 😆 But I did read and learn as much as I could.

@marshal Marshall out here turning that classic college poster into reality

@MandleHu lol so many assumptions. Ever consider people buy them because they like to drive them? I’ve also never had an issue parking them anywhere. Most of my fun cars have appreciated in value.

Cool idea, but in reality dumb. And besides, flashy cars only do one thing, signal attention. who do you need to impress ? The only attention they attract is bad. Super low IQ move imo. And they cost a shitload, and you can't park them where you want. Honestly its just so dumb. Good luck.

@propilot123 I am not

@marshal I assume this guy is related to the haas fortune lol

@sambirchenough Classic car on a Persia rug. Nothing better.

@marshal sweet! I have a similar deal at a much smaller scale. running my racecar out of a 1 car hollywood hills garage 😂

@coreyhainesco Yessir!

@marshal Do you also have A/C/heat in there for when the weather isn’t good?

@TiloJacs I’m just trolling. I’ll mess with minor stuff, like swapped in race bucket seats in my 675LT the other day.

@marshal haha you said tinker. Like do you work on your cars with tools or just work on your computer.

@FurqanR Thank you!

@marshal Awesome garage, perfect work environment.

@TiloJacs Is that an AI term?

@marshal So do you have like...tools?

@snakeollbroker Love their stuff

@marshal Just clicked “buy all” on Drool-art.com

@chrishume_ Close enough

@marshal if this isn't in your garage you are missing out

@albert4waves Love it! Best decision we’ve made as a family.

@marshal How do you like Raleigh area so far?

@benkellyone What’s hard to explain to people that only see benefits of a successful business, is it takes a certain person to work for nothing, without guarantee of reward. It’s NOT for everyone and that’s ok. The world needs employees just as much as it needs entrepreneurs.

My son asked what I do for work. I said I own businesses. He asked what that means. I said it means I get paid whether I work a lot or not. He thought about it. Then asked if everyone could do that. I said “almost”. He asked why they don't. I didn't have a good answer.

@mindofachaser Nice!

@marshal Just test drove a 992 today. You were 1000% spot on. Around town? I was using 20% of the car’s capability. Anytime I opened it up I was 30-40 over the speed limit. Would definitely lose my license within a month. Lol. Next step is to test drive an older one, esp a manual one.

For once in my life I have been indecisive. I can’t figure out what Porsche 911 to buy. It’s a good problem to have. I always come down to either a Black on Black 3.2/G-Series Targa or a newer 992. Two completely different routes. Being from a small town, the car I choose is somewhat of a big deal. It becomes part of my brand, locally. You see, no one around me has my kind of money. Most people are actually broke. Going the newer route is way more flashy, more in your face. Questions, envy, and gossip are inevitable. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone ends up keying my car, which makes me think I should probably wrap it if I go the newer route. Lol. Going the older route is less flashy, more intriguing, and genuinely what I’m leaning towards. Realistically speaking, less people will talk about it. Most won’t even know how much it cost. These are things I’ve been considering. If I’m being honest. I personally like the older style 911’s. The analog feel. The aesthetics. The story. The heritage. My girlfriend would prefer the vintage option. That’s her bag. She makes just under $200k a year and still prefers to shop at thrift stores. Lol. I know if it was up to her she would just want whatever draws the less eyeballs, which is fair. Up until tonight I was going to go the vintage route. That is until I considered the safety of the car. I am young after all, and have a lot of life to live. I want a family, and to live a long healthy life, God willing. As much as I dislike attention (I prefer to operate in the shadows). And as much as I like the idea of ripping through corners in a raw 1984 Porsche 911, top down, without a screen in sight. I know how I drive. I like to test my limits. Something in my gut tells me no ABS, no power steering, no airbags, and moronic NPC drivers all around me, is a recipe for disaster. Might seem counter intuitive that the faster, more powerful, newer models would actually make me feel safer. But they do. Do I trust some guy’s DIY brake job or steering column restoration? Not really. Do I trust the woman texting on her phone in her Tahoe veering into my lane? Hell no. Do I trust the capabilities of the newer sports car fresh off the factory in Stuttgart? Yes. Do I trust my driving abilities in any situation? 100%. Think the newer route is the better route for me. Fuck it. One day I’ll own a black on black vintage 911. Just not sure I’ll be doing it yet. 💰🚗💨🏁 P.S. I found this picture on Pinterest. Now part of my “manifest board”, a board which has never missed btw.

@flintarmstrong I’m so sorry.

My wife was killed today in a car crash. The other driver was going 110mph on a street with a 25 mph speed limit.

I’ll be in Miami in a couple weeks. Who wants to hang?

@perplexity_ai This looks incredible. Can’t wait to dive in.

Today we're releasing Personal Computer. Personal Computer integrates with the Perplexity Mac App for secure orchestration across your local files, native apps, and browser. We’re rolling this out to all Perplexity Max subscribers and everyone on the waitlist starting today.

@awilkinson Agreed. How are you adjusting your investing and business strategy for this?

Software is about to look a lot like ecommerce. Shitty margins. Unlimited competition. A hard way to make a living. Why? Because over the next few years, Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI are going to drink the software industry's milkshake 🥤 If you were looking for a hotel in 2010, this is how it went: 2010: Google "hotels in New York" → Google links you to TripAdvisor. But by 2020... 2020: Google "hotels in New York" → Google shows its own hotel booking system integrated directly into the search results. RIP TripAdvisor 🪦📉 (check their stock price 2015 vs today) Google made a fortune by building products that captured demand on the keywords where they had the most traffic, like travel. But Google had finite resources. They only had so many developers to build these products, so it only made sense to do this for the largest categories: hotels, flights, shopping. This same thing is about to happen to most digital services and software products. Except this time, the constraint that protected smaller categories is gone. 2025: Ask ChatGPT for the best CRM software → It directs you to Attio, Pipedrive, and Zoho. 2028: Ask ChatGPT for the best CRM → It builds one, imports your data, and runs it for you at a fraction of the cost. The difference between OG Google and today's frontier models is that OG Google needed human engineers to build each vertical product. OpenAI, Anthropic, and the Google of today (Gemini) won't have this constraint. When the cost to build and maintain software approaches zero, there's no reason to stop at hotels and flights. You do it for everything, on demand. Right now, vibe coding is still fiddly. It requires a human in the loop, it's insecure, and it depends on third-party hosting and infrastructure. But I expect the frontier model companies to build out their own vertical infrastructure to run the software they generate, removing the current friction entirely. Think Claude's artifacts, except full-fledged digital products—hosted, maintained, and updated by the same AI that built them. The moat for most software companies isn't the code. It's the switching cost and the ecosystem lock-in. When an AI can rebuild your tool in seconds and migrate your data automatically, that moat disappears. Everyone understands that vibe coding = infinite competition. But this is different. They're taking your customer before they can even get to you. So, software becomes a lot like ecommerce. Near zero margin unless you own distribution and aren't reliant on Google/Meta for customers. TLDR: They drink your milkshake. They'll drink it up.

@thesamparr The midwestern way.

A high character move: When the waiter brings your the wrong order...you say nothing and eat it. Only losers tell them they got it wrong. I ordered a steak and they sent chicken pesto pizza. So i ate chicken pesto pizza.
