Is this a serious comment? By your logic, the majority of all collectibles should have no value. There's no reason an Indian Head Penny should be worth so much, they are just boring everyday pennies that happen to be old. Action Comics #1 was just another boring everyday comic book that happens to be old. If you…

When you have to constantly defer to the amazing musicianship of a band, you're basically saying, "The music sucks, but boy can they play." That's Rush in a nutshell. As a drummer, I spent years thinking that I should like Rush and be blown away by Neil Peart, but I don't, and I'm not.

Clearly I've already won this argument.

I know. My first experience on personal watercraft back in the 90's can best be described as "pleasant". It was one of those hokey designs with an actual ski in the front, like half snow-mobile/half jet-ski. I recently rode a friends top of the line personal water borne jet missile and it was anything but pleasant.…

There is a lot of nuance here, don't get all internet extremist. To deny that we have intrinsic proclivities that have some grounding in biology is to be consciously oblivious to the world around you. Social norms play some roll, but I do believe that personality is largely in our wiring. Do you have kids? I don't…

Not to be a dick, but why don't we raise a stink about why more men aren't in nursing? There is also an intrinsic bias to the assumption that more women SHOULD be in engineering fields. We place a higher value on engineering over fields with strong female representation.

Option 1. Is that the right answer? As a multiple technology oriented degree holder, I think that we can't ignore that there are intrinsic gender preferences that shape many social patterns. To ignore that fact is to put blinders on. At most tech schools, even with well balanced gender demographics, certain majors…

I have to ask then if there are BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Audi, or Tesla dealers near you? Those are the targets for the Ghibli. The majority of sales will be in large metropolitan areas, so I'm sure they can still hit those sales targets while still scaling up dealer coverage.

Have you been to a Chrysler dealership? I've had to take my Abarth to the local Chrysler dealership for service, and it's terrible. Luxury dealers present an entirely different experience. Maserati buyers do not want to take their car to the Chrysler dealer. They want to take it to the Ferrari dealer and feel posh.…

Where was a 3SGE BEAMS raced? I would include the 3SGTE, but also the EJ20 or 4G63 before the 2Jz since they all have serious rally history. I think a truly great engine has to have some competition success, since the engine is so critical to racing glory. When was a 2JZ ever raced on a factory team? I'm not familiar…

You don't quite get the point. The fact that people lord over the RB is why it should win this competition. It is by far the more famous and significant engine. It was built specifically for competition to fit class rules. It has actual race results, it survived accross 3 generations of skyline, and it pretty much put…

Well, this 1:8 scale model of a car cost $7.5 million. Given that 1/8th scale means 8th scale on each dimension, you have to cube the proportions to get a proportional volume. 1/((1/8)^3) * 7.5 = 512. Therefore, a full size version of this should be worth $512 million! Lamborghini is waaaaay undercharging. Add some…

Agreed, add to that the fact that RB26 > 2JZ. This list makes no sense. If you ask 100 non-fanboy car nuts their top 20 engines and add up all the results. I think that only the LS would be a sure carryover. This seems like a random list of engines in commentariat's cars. "My car is best!"

It's a perfectly decent car. You can buy a 2003 Pontiac Vibe in Gran Turismo 6, but what percent of players do you think actually buy the Pontiac Vibe or care that it is in the game?

Be careful. If you type 'Pontiac Vibe' and 'Dream Car' in the same sentence too many times, the internet might implode

VW did race a WRC Group A spec golf based on the cool box-flared AWD Rallye Golf. FWD GTI's were long time rally favorites in the lower classes, and I personally rallied a GTI when I got into rallying. They do have some rally history. Besides, Subaru and Mitsubishi only have rally history, no factory supported rally…

I saw this preview. This is Johnny Depp's new movie, right?

Thinking someone's an asshat and actively hating them are two different things. He doesn't make me angry, so I wouldn't call it "hate". I do imagine that if I did actually hang out with him, he would piss me off. Seriously, the guy has zero perspective.

A DARAK edition? Sounds awesome. These guys will love it.

This is like asking, "What is art?" If Mini paid the bills, and they call it a Mini, then it's a Mini.
