I’m interested in what they did to beef up the drivetrain. Hard launches on an AWD 5,000 lb 700 HP monster need some stout hardware.

This is kind of like when your likeable, out of shape co-worker signs up for a marathon, never trains further than a 5 mile run, shows up for the race anyway, and pukes his guts out and collapses at mile 6. We all wanted him to make it, but always knew it would have taken a miracle.

How big are your children? I have two kids and my S3 was just about perfect. I don’t think an A4 has much more interior space, maybe half an inch. 4 adults are fine. I wouldn’t want a family of 6 foot+ teen boys, but otherwise, any kid under 14 should be easy. This is not a small car. I think people’s perspective of…

I had an S3 with two younger kids in boosters and it was perfect. I wouldn’t want to haul teenage boys around though. I’m 6'1". It’s not small. It’s bigger than my old 2000 S4. It’s only small relative to the gargantuan size of other modern cars. I also haul the kids around in a Fiat Abarth now, so maybe my…

I’d be interested in seeing diversity stats for Lyft. I’m guessing they’d probably match well to Uber.

That all sounds nice and hardcore, except that it is illegal to hire based on race, religion or gender. You can’t legally ask a candidate any of those questions, hence the reason that Uber can commit to hiring from diverse channels, but it is legally untenable to commit to filling a role with a specific…

People don’t agree with me. Must be a conspiracy.

Ryan’s hate-boner on Uber knows no limits. Uber uses internal tools to compete aggressively in the market. Shocking. Uber can track its drivers. Shocking.

We’re on the same wavelength. My collection:

It seems like it’s a game to you, and you’re trying to win the game on the internet.

Global Beet is most righteous. Righteous before righteous was cool. Righteuouououous to the core. Not part-time righteous like you. Righteous, always.

The 5-Series or Camaro? Have you seen the 5-Series lately? It’s been at least 15 years since I looked at a 5-series and thought, “damn... I want”. The new Camaro is still cartoonish, but much less so than the last one. I wouldn’t say it’s uglier than a 5-series. BMW lost the script awhile ago.

Stop! We get it. You love 4th gens. You’re coming to the defense of the helpless Eclipse. 4th gen still sucked and you could get more power and similar performance from a contemporary Camry. The only models that will be remembered are the GSX’s, as they were pretty much 2-Door Evos.

I know Uber pushes boundaries, but to say that it’s core business model is to violate laws is a pretty loose interpretation of the facts. Laws have been changed because Uber made it apparent that the old laws didn’t work.

I’m not sure why Taxi companies would be the heroes here. Part of the reason Uber exists is that Taxi drivers figured out they could make more money driving for Uber b/c the medallion owners were the only ones making money in the old system.

Except Uber didn’t break the strike and that narrative has been definitively proven false. Jezebel gets ad dollars from Lyft and doesn’t seem interested in correcting the story. Trust no one.

First, it’s called Hockery here in the states, and Second, this sort of thing happens to Bieber all the time.

The joke didn’t land. My bad. Awesome collection.

Rule #16 - At least 50% of readers won’t get the joke. PepperM and his brother seem pretty awesome to me.
