We’ve talked before about how Musk’s whole business plan is to run on hype,

I am jealous of a few things every time I read about your situation:

1) You have so much time to do all the car things! 3 kids means the spark plug change I did last week was something I had meant to get to for over 9 months.

I’m guessing that this means it doesn’t communicate with the internet unless Valorant is running? In which case, Riot could tell the tool to run a specific check next time that player logs based on cheating reports.

Just conjecture, though.

Umm... there have been 4-5 departures in the past year, including the old EIC.  This site is now 2-3 good writers and trash like Balaban and Raph and Erik.

“If literally one thing goes wrong—if the team needs to call for help or a tow truck, if they get stopped, if they crash—literally anything goes wrong here and these guys would be pulling resources from an otherwise already overloaded system, not to mention potentially increasing the risk of contracting…

They don’t explicitly endorse it, but they give it publicity and profit from it in clicks, advertisements, etc. The Drive employs that gnat Alex Roy and Jalopnik pushed his terrible documentary on us several times last year. He even had the gall to drop into the comments and try to argue his case.

Get this trash off…

Especially when you can do a simple Ctrl+F on the page he linked and see that “Renault” isn’t even in the article.

I don’t think these blogs are being reviewed before being posted any longer. Not enough people around.

Which is fine for people who write about things they know.  Not so much for Shilling.

I... like the alcantara inserts on my custom seat covers. They don’t heat up in the summer, they don’t get cold and hard in the fall, they are soft and comfortable to sit on, and they clean easier than fabric.

BUT, it’s a terrible material for anything that needs touched by skin like a steering wheel or armrest, and…

I have never agreed with you on something more thoroughly than this.

Came here to say this - the name is brilliant. Something about it just is perfectly aligned with the design, material choices, color pallette etc. Even the Polestar logo itself fits.

From an aesthetics and marketing perpsective, this thing is an A+ and is just about ready to turn me into a fanboy.

I’m not sure how to take this comment, given Fahey’s recently-aquired disability... hopefully it was in good-natured jest?

First Gear: Furloughing is going to be everywhere in another month if things can’t open up. Our company (global retailer) furloughed nearly a third of staff in certain departments recently.

Agreed.  If Alex Roy catches a guardrail at 140mph on his next attempt, I don’t think I’ll shed a tear.

RIP my newly moved-in next door neighbor who is an Infiniti salesman.  I’ll be watching for the moving trucks.

Unless you are a “friend of the site” and have a new documentary about street racing to peddle. Then it’s A-OK and you may get several articles about you!

I practiced a martial art for ~five years in my early 20's. You’re right, most people laugh and ask if there were little kids in my class (including my wife). I’ve learned to just roll with it and tell my kids that daddy used to be a ninja.

Oddly, that training never left me wanting to watch MMA. 

It’s absolutely possible there are circumstances at play here that make the HOA a bad guy. But based on the evidence we have, the HOA looks fine. They have a rule, said we’ll waive the rule for you if you need us to, but right now you don’t need us to, so we aren’t going to.

Yep, nothing to see here. Their response was perfectly reasonable. This is just the usual “down with the man” crap that plagues this site.

Tom, he said he wanted something reliable. A 15 year old EJ with a snail ain’t that.
