David, thanks for these amazing rundowns with input from Torch, probably the single thing that keeps me coming back to this blog.

They are somewhat useful to provide a general sense of track capabilities. It would be supremely silly to buy one car over another because one is 5 seconds faster around the ring. But you know a 7 minute car is silly fast, an 8 minute car is quick, and a 9 minute car is slow. That sort of thing can be harder to…

Dont care about what others think, but at the end of the day I still have to look at it. And I don’t really want to.

Of course looks are subjective, but I have a Golf R and would never consider this car, solely because of how it looks. I’m sure it is a great car, but I just can’t.

I agree. That sentence sort of stopped me in my tracks. I read it twice, and then thought to myself “Oh nice, so this writer is an A-hole. Nice to know.” and continued reading. I sure hope Erik sees what you’ve said here and gives it a thought or two.

If this quote doesn’t tell people that gizmodo, nee gawker, has imploded up its own asshole into a singularity of troll-based, clickbait, malevolent stupidity, I’m not sure what will.

Yeah, this is an incredibly bad look for Erik.

Thank you! We (and Erik) don’t know. You beat me to the premise that Grandpa might have busted his ass in a steel mill for 40 years and saved for this now he’s screwed and Schilling is laughing at him. Well done Comrade Schilling!!

For all we know, grandpa Krawll may have pulled himself up by the bootstraps in 19-diggity-three and worked his ass off for those $10k plane tickets. He may have one foot in the grave and this is his last hurrah. He might be a scumbag CEO playing with golden parachute money. The important thing is Erik Shilling…

Thank you for saying this. I’ll add to this sentiment in a way Erik may understand:

As I have stated before, Erik is the worst writer on this site. That sentence is another example of his immaturity and bias. 

But there is a difference in a heavy sympathy for those evicted and actively enjoying a person’s problems simply because it can be worse. It’s okay to be indifferent on vacation grandpa, but it just makes him look like an asshole for being so outwardly happy about strangers having problems.

A principle I’ve tried in recent years is to expand on for myself is the concept of “if you don’t believe in X for those you disagree with, then you don’t believe in X.” One of the unfortunate sides of this is realizing what horrible flaming hypocrites many people are.

Agreed, I think of myself as a good little liberal, but the hate on anyone above a struggling blogger is nauseating. Also at 10K for 14 tickets, they sure as hell aren’t flying business.

Honestly, fuck you.

This article would make some sense if Tesla had gone public before having a product on the market, but they didn’t and this doesn’t.

Just kidding, the people that fret over range anxiety will always fret over range anxiety

That’s how you do it.

No, I did. The study made no findings about whether the increase in pollution was meaningful from the baseline. For example, Alcohol is a poison. Too much will kill you as well as chronic exposure. But the difference between drinking (.1oz of beer a day and .02oz) of beer a day (tiny sip and slightly larger tiny sip)…
