You’re about a day late with that comment.  I already responded to it if you would like to go read.

Haha dang! I’ve done a handful of track days but my instructors haven’t offered to take my car out, and I wasn’t brave enough to ask one to. I have seen them flogging the absolute crap out of stuff before though. I remember watching one destroy a group of Mustangs and Evos with a stock Dodge Neon... with two…

Yeah, I was expecting this to be something like F1 driver played HPDE instructor for a day and took out a noobie’s M4 for a few hot laps to show them what their car could do. 

I do realize that, but I’m not referring to the stuttering. He was grasping for the right words.

“...you have 19 compa-er-91 companies federal I mean and er fortune 500...”

I’m not picking on the guy and I would be thrilled if I knew I was that “with it” at 77.  But he’s 77, and will be in his eighties by the time he…

I want Trump out as much as the next rational human being, but Biden had more than one time he tripped up over a word or two in a row. I felt myself feeling nervous if he’d be able to form a coherent sentence between Trump talking over him.  He's definitely losing his cognitive abilities.  

My text to siblings 5 minutes in: mute his mic.

I played TL2 originally on PC years ago so I’m not really able to do a good comparison, but I didn’t notice anything lacking from it. The art style works well with the low resolution the Switch can put out, but it definitely looks like a nearly decade old game.  You also lose out on mods if those are your thing... but…

Bummer. I just played TL2 again on Switch recently, and was hoping for what you said - more TL2 but with incremental improvements.

I liked this line to open it up:

Maybe that’s the reason for the muffler delete.  Built-in soundtrack.

Looks like a nice car.  Looks worse than a Viper.

All great questions. This article should be a thought exercise along the lines of “what would happen if the ban went into effect tomorrow?”

Instead, we have from-the-hip word vomit with absolutely zero critical thought put into it. Like most things Raph and Erik spit out, this take seems to be nothing more than being…

It’s technically correct in the same way that me saying “I got my driver’s license and then I was hired for job” is correct.

I mean, yes, those two events happened in my life and happened in that order, but they are unrelated and intentionally misleading.

So either clickbait, or Erik didn’t understand why the stock…

I don’t think there’s much editorial oversight going on. I had hoped the trajectory of the writing here would swing up when Rory signed on, but if anything it’s gotten worse (how that is possible, I’m not sure).

And comically easy to realize.

I don’t recall myself or anyone else talking about interiors on cars with 70,000 miles.

You can all by yourself if you want, I suppose.  We’re talking about how Kia is executing on interiors of new cars.

I dunno, I can’t remember the last time I read a bad review of a Kia, interior included. They’ve been crushing it the last five years or so.

It’s rare that I defend Erik, but in this case I think what he was trying to do is be cutesy saying “as automakers shift from internal combustion to electrification”. I don’t think he was trying to make any scientific equivalence.

Good call with the description of Hades as a visual novel. My wife was watching me play it last night and I got to the point where Zag replays what started his quest, and she got invested in the story despite not playing games like that or liking the setting (it “creeps her out” despite it being about as lighthearted…

The argument about the bones being old on the 400Z are bonkers to me. Nissan is offering a *light weight, RWD, manual, easily wrenchable, cheap to own, 400hp tuner car at a *modest price (*relative to the competition like this Supra)... and people are still complaining. Why? It’s a jalop’s dream.  And it looks darn…
