I was joking, but that is really interesting to know, thank you!

I’m just disappointed he doesn’t pop out and run around like D.VA.

If you’re interested in a good car slash racing series of the same broad genre as Initial D, try Over Rev!, It’s really good. Even more slavish attention to detail to the cars than Initial D, but with more story, and without nearly as much filler. Unfortunately, it’s Manga only, no anime, and at this time, Scans only,…

Oh, I know. I’ve even got the pin to show for it.

Well, only in the anime, but fair point. I forgot about that, since I was listening to eurobeat before I ran into Initial D.

I have. And there isn’t. Winning a race that you knew he was going to win from the off doesn’t a plot development make. Guy whose superpower being cars, who hates cars, but learns to begrudgingly like cars(delivered as exposition) is not meaningful character growth.

In the past, I would say no, but then I read Over Rev! and realized we can have both.

I would, but I don’t want to join the local Miners union, and they’d get real salty about me digging down that far if I didn’t.

It was missing a little thing I like to call GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY.

Another provider, oBike, just pulled out of Melbourne, after the city decided to crack down on them.

Is the respected auto industry analyst you’re talking about named Edward Niedermeyer, the guy who ran the Tesla Death Watch website?

Sure. Or it’s possible they made this allegation up to discredit him.

Allow me to translate the statement into a shorter, more understandable form:

Don’t ask me to prove the negative, it is a bullshit way of arguing.

You say that, but if claiming to shareholders that X product or feature will be released on Y date, and then missing that date was considered a crime, Elon would already be giving his shareholder meetings from a concrete 6X8. There are certainly lies that will possibly get you thrown in jail, but there’s a lot that…

Yep. It’s just a propane roofing torch, and you can already buy those from your local hardware, even in California. Sure, the form-factor is a little different, but it’s no big deal.

Is Musk a dickhead, and deserves a regulatory slap? Pretty much, yeah. Does this make it a flamethrower or not? Fucked if I know, not my…

He really is. And it really is. He’s been as old as he was for as long as I can remember, and now he’s suddenly older and it’s a bit odd.

It’s a British car show. You need at least one old guy, or people start feeling uneasy.

(Still super on board with Jenson Button, though)

My vote: Tiff Needell.

I might be misremebering, but isn’t this the second time a Tesla on Autopilot has crashed into a stationary firetruck?
