That’s what I do - I say my last piece, and while I’m delivering the final statement, start to turn and take slow steps away. Usually it prevents them from asking any further questions or extending the conversation awkwardly into the “welp... see ya” territory you mention.  I hate that.

Third Gear:

Moving closer to work may mean he has a longer drive to other things he likes in the part of town he’s currently in.

It becomes a tiny car with a rear car seat forcing your seat forward several inches, at least by what I read in the comments above.

It takes more energy to get a heavier can moving but at steady speed, the weight is irrelevant.

I’m not sure. The author just heavily implied that what Ferrari said was bad even if she didn’t come out and say it. I don’t see concrete evidence to make that claim based on the quotes; sounds like you don’t either.

Agreed with all of the above. I was just curious why the guy I replied to implied that reflectors good, projectors bad. Apparently from his back end.

Great clarification, I threw the terms around too flippantly in my comments as if they were synonymous, when in this case in particular, that distinction is very important. Thanks!

I was referring to halogen projectors vs halogen reflectors.  Is there data showing that halogen to halogen, projectors are worse than reflectors by nature of the tech?  Not comparing them to HIDs or LEDs.

I saw that as well. The language used suggests they’re just looking at data, not trying to disparage any particular gender.

Their board is also 40% female, which isn’t terrible. Again, not saying that this isn’t misogyny, just that it’s a bit irresponsible to all-out assume. Especially given the last block quote above that specifically says that

I think they look better. They’re much cleaner and easier to incorporate into interesting headlamp fixtures than reflectors. Where is the study that shows they “don’t illuminate shit”?

I’m not saying these quotes are not sexist, but I’d be curious to see if these are specifically Ferrari brass’ opinions, or if these are a result of some marketing studies.

Did those things really sit that high from the factory? Last picture looks like it should have some hidden hydraulics to bounce it around.

Still not clever.

Funny thing is, Patrick went to The Drive... which is where this douche Roy also writes. And Roy also wrote a self-promoting listicle of sorts about the cars used to do this stunt a week or two ago there.

I’m happy that your reckless, illegal, and dangerous behavior is making you money. Balaban must be so proud of you for living the captialistic dream - anything in the pursuit of money everyone else be damned, right?

Also, if you’re going to grace us with your presence here, could you at least pretend to be able to have…

Speaking of “buzz”, tens of thousands of people probably drove home over the legal limit over the weekend without killing anyone. So quit whining about drunk driving, don’t be a buzzkill.

Did I do that right?

That logic is so incredibly fucked up that I can’t believe a rational adult could spew it. If I were a vengeful person I’d wish that a “gnat” slammed into you at 120mph tomorrow.

I mean it wouldn’t matter right? It’s not a “large scale” death.

why did they design the AC and radio to look almost identical and then not center align them?!
