1. This is entirely correct. The title sequence but ESPECIALLY the song were obnoxious AF.

How long are conservative Dems going to insist that only they can win, in the face of that fact that they don’t actually win?

Eh. Not that many super-valuable cars really. European oddballs and classic American iron more than Jerry’s famous Porsche collection. Mostly interesting choices, really. He is a smug, contemptuous guy though (People owe me for giving them a free show, if you think about it!) but as long as the other person is…

As long as Joy Reid presents herself on a national platform as a paradigm of woke progressive ethics, it’s worth pointing out that she’s actually a full-of-shit conservative who spends more of her energy drunk Twittering about how progressives are the bad roommate who eats your peanut butter or whatever the hell.

Republicans love to say how incompetent government is, then demand to be elected to government office so they can prove it.

I worked the position a couple of people described above as a summer job after freshman year in college — “Lot Dog” they called it then. Drag the shopping and lumber carts in from the lot and load customers’ cars. I don’t know if they even do that any more. I remember loading a lot of 80-lb bags of concrete for…

The whole thing’s ugly, but until we all decide that rage-nut stroking isn’t a viable path to political victory or podcast profits, irrational people need some kind of reality check for their tribal paranoia and sense of outrage entitlement.

“Stancing”(?) is the dumbest modder trend I’ve seen. Even ridiculously lowered vehicles don’t usually take the added step of introducing 8 million degrees of negative camber to the point the car looks like it’s squatting to pee. I wince for the poor wheel bearings, tire edges, and suspension components every time. It…

Trying to have fun from cheap cars was all muscle cars were about too. They weren’t inherently great cars either. That’s why they were fun. So dismissing a Civic-based fun car vs. one based on a Falcon is kind of funny.

I object to conflating the concept of a “Deep State” with white supremacist paranoia.

THAT’S GOOD JOURNALISM-ING.

Anyone remember that hub-motor PML-Flightlink Mini Cooper project being shown around a few years back? It had four 160-hp hubs and a gas motor generator in the back. Claimed 640 hp total and 65 mpg overall. Sounded promising. Then they disappeared.

I lamely and predictably nominate a car I owned, the 2002-2006 Acura RSX, aka, the DC5 Integra. The K20A2 engine in my 2002 made 200 hp from 2.0 liters, which at the time was at or near the top of specific output for a mass-produced n/a motor. Forged crank, indestructible timing chain, better torque from the “i-Vtec”…

“your idea that the money laundering is unrelated to whether the Kremlin helped tilt the election (which we KNOW they interfered in), or whether Trump is somehow in a compromised position is....weird.”

Are they though? Because I struggle through Chris Hayes’ show almost every night, and 4/5 he has on old Watergate prosecutors, CIA spooks, and some mouth-breathing NYC prosecutor, all panting about “election interference,” “collusion,” and “impeachment.”

Money laundering is clearly the story. That’s what Manafort actually did. Trump’s kids bragged about Russian investors years ago. And Kushner sure seems to have been furiously shopping a pitch since even before the inauguration. His foreign policy “job” makes no sense — he has zero qualifications. But what a…

The saddest thing about the “Russian collusion” narrative is that it gives Trump too much credit. There is no way Putin made some concrete, demonstrable deal with this idiot. What are MSNBC / CNN gesturing toward at this point — that we’ll uncover some parchment signed in blood between the two of them? Not going to…

Interesting you raise that. I’d put the people captivated by the simplistic, selfish ideologies of Ayn Rand or a fully unregulated free market system into a “half smart” bucket.

I remember the “free market solves everything” guys from undergrad. They tended to be math / science / engineering dudes from upper-middle class backgrounds who read a lot of Ayn Rand & wrote extremely silly letters to the editor of the school paper.

For an avowed non-shill, you sure have a lot of shill-isa talking points. How would you know that
