Yeah. The smart play would have been to do it much more subtly and not talk about it. Throw up some undoctored, “real” photos that just so happen to have someone in North Face gear in them. Make them look similar in style to other wiki images, upload them through various accounts over time, not all at once.

Huh. So we’ve swung back to “Warriors are in trouble” already. After the last blog post calling them world-beaters again, I made a comment wondering how long it would take for Deadspin to think they’re in trouble.

Dude, 5 year olds are pretty good at not coloring on things besides paper. They get over that wall-coloring phase around 3 years. Assuming you like, teach them not to.

Not at all. Our build was about 15% less expensive than the average estimated valuation of the houses in the cul de sac we built in. Eight houses worth X are not going to be brought down by one worth .85X.

Oh, and btw, HOA requirements also are there to keep people safe from what you assumed was the case. Many require…

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

*breathe*

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

I once bought a 75 page paperback about the behind-the-scenes story of how the Z33 brought about the resurrection of the Z nameplate, and had it signed by a few notable Nissan folks. That cost me a cool $11 and a sweaty afternoon walking around a car show looking for said folks with a sharpie.

What about going to a dive bar at 4pm when you’re in a party of five and there is no one else there, and you’re just stopping for 20 minutes while the rest of the party is staying longer? Do I have to buy and chug a coke then?

Some bloggers here simply like to be contrarian. Usually it isn’t noticeable, but every once in a while doing so leads them to apparently contradict themselves in the same blog post.

I think they look great still.  Shrug.

Yeah, it looks great. But show me that picture and say it’s a LaFerrari and I’d believe you without any doubt. You can have a strong design language and still make cars recognizable. See 911 vs Cayman for a great example.

I’m assuming the mashup was intentional. I mean, there were no real-world production vehicles with that combination of body and grille, so an artist making this image couldn’t have possibly have seen an image like this and just copied it (unless someone did a weird build online). Maybe they just looked up trucks from…

One of those is basically on my way home from work.  Will buy one and report.

Definitely.  Better = safer.  But “not the best in class” =/= “poor”.  Not best in class for 2019 is probably better than best in class 1999.  And people drove fine at night in 1999, so I’m sure they’ll drive fine at night in a base 2019 Stinger.

Sure new headlights are better than old. But were (are) people really out there running into objects/each other in vehicles with older halogen bulbs? No. And surely a newer base-trim halogen headlamp is brighter than one from 10 years ago, no?

So I’m trying to say that a new car having a “poor” headlight is probably…

We’ve all (ok, most of us) been driving for years in the dark with crappy old halogens. Sure nice headlights are good, but the “poor” ratings that some of these new cars are getting are most likely far and away better than most older used cars on the road, not even considering that most have probably yellowing and…

Absolutely. If there were enough articles here to satiate my boredom at the office, I’d skip them too! Alas, reading a boring article about a random person doing random things in any city I don’t live in and don’t care one bit about is going to happen. This article could have been about a rando in FL putting bubble…

Yep, there are some people that take the “rawr rawr NYC sucks” thing too far. I’m guessing it’s because there is some pent-up annoyance at the Jalopnik reporting on NYC issues as if they are the same importance to everyone.

Hmm... an “aeroscreen”. It looks like it functions awfully similarly to another obscure automotive invention, the “windshield”. Perhaps F1 and Indycar should also investigate another technology of yore, the “roof”.

I think you took it too seriously. It’s just a friendly bit of sarcastic constructive criticism. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest, but at the same time... this news is hyper local and as such is pretty silly to post on a blog read by people on several continents.  Even if it is “transportation” related.

It wasn’t serious (how serious can one be about an animated anthropomorphic animal?), but it was definitely widespread and universal.
