Toyota: I want to fucking race! NAOW!!! Let’s do it!! Top Prototype/Hypercars!!! Street versions! Group C is back baby! 1,000HP/AWD monsters!!!! Come on!!!!!! Insane racing technology for the road!

Holy shit, are you ACTUALLY working today? As in, apparently the only person in the Jalopnik office, since every other post so far seems to be just reposted crap from sometime in the last 6 months? So far we’ve got a story on the Iran missile crisis from January (including the first sentence “yesterday Iran launched a…

Your car rules, BTW. I’ve wanted an E30 for years and it’s *so* good.

I’ve started flying with a foam painters knee-pad; I’m 6'2" so there’s only 1/4" between my knee and the seat in front to begin with. I fill that gap with the kneepad; now the seat doesn’t come rearward at all, and my circulation is preserved.

I OWN the air rights above your knees. Take it up with the airlines that sold it to me. 

To recline an airplane seat is to say to yourself “I am knowingly inconveniencing another person, and I don’t care.” It’s right up there with blocking an aisle in a store after someone says “excuse me,” or having a conversation with your kid’s school bus driver while all the cars back up behind the bus.

Reclining in response to reclining doesn’t actually solve the problem. Because A) at some point someone won’t be able to recline (usually the last row) and B) the biggest problem with reclining is that it hits tall peoples’ legs, and them reclining in turn doesn’t solve that problem.

Its height dependant. If you’re over 6' the seat hits your legs. 

That is simply amazing. I just want to bask in its retro-futurism. Italdesign has made some crazy shit, but i can’t believe they made more than 1 of these.

It’s not a problem for small people, generally. The issue with reclining isn’t that it takes up a few inches of room near your chest. The issue for taller people is that the recline bangs into their knees, which are often touching the seatback to begin with.

I paid for that recline so I’m using it. You don’t get to determine which space is yours when the airline already did that my allowing the seats to recline. You’re not england of commercial airliners and you don’t get to colonize space I rightfully paid for. Recline your own seat if you don’t want be be close to the…

Its like an inch and a half, youre an idiot. 

I don’t recline, but you are wrong.  As long as its a feature, no one is a monster for using it.

That had nothing to do with Paris: have you never seen nude women in non-French art? The Odalisque was a common artistic theme in the 19th century, just as “searching for fleas” appears in Renaissance art: you know, the 15th century equivalent of buying Playboy for the articles.

“At the time, people talked of inciting a minor to debauchery, or indecent assault...But nobody ever spoke of crime,”

When we run out of hamberders and covfefe

The entire nation of Singapore is smaller than New York City.  You can’t realistically scale what they are doing to a nation as large and far-flung as the US.

Listen, stop calling me dumb. If I know how to win at one thing, it’s brains and smarts. I have wits and acumin the likes of which Mexico has never seen. You think North Koreans can match my IQ? Once I got a gold star on a penmanship assignment I did in first grade. Gold - that’s the best. And tell France the free…
