I can’t believe Volkswagen would lie to us like that.

Most importantly: WHO IS CARRYING THE RACE LIVE ON TV THIS WEEKEND?

The Star Wars Prequels: three movies of take-offs and landings.

Yeah, that music is not that good... ugh.

I think the bigger news in this thread is, how the hell did I miss that Ducati also uses the Bosch system?!

Yeah, if I was Duc starting from a current model, I’d modify a Hyper before the Multi.

Well, I definitely thought so, but it wasn’t until the last episode that the show REALLY took “the leap” into WT-F-F territory. It left me wanting far, far more.

The problem with these posts & threads— aside from the fact that any thread that garners 700+ comments is so unweildly it’s just stupid, yay Kinja!— is that everyone comes out of the woodwork to mourn their favorite canceled shows ignoring that in many, many cases, these shows REALLY DID deserve to be cancelled.

This. Adding a second fleet carrier class is dumber than a box of rocks, for reasons summarized elsewhere in the comments thread (economies of scale for both production and O&M, crew manning, air wings, escorts, logistics ships, etc.). It’s already going to be trouble with both the Nimitz and Ford classes in service,…

Obvious badge engineering is fatal.

While not as much a critic of the LCS as some out there, I still don’t get what high speed gets you in a ship like this. It’s not like you’re outrunning missiles, let alone radar. And there are far more efficient routes to dealing with a speedboat threat (hi, Iran!).

Yup. That’s actually my most-hated change in the “Special Editions,” for me it’s worse even than Greedo shooting first.

Yeah, Horner was an environmentalist: he recycled EVERYTHING. He had, like, four themes, and all his soundtracks were variations on them.

Is Courtship worse than Crystal Star? Is Crystal Star worse than Courtship?

Thanks for explaining, it’s a good thing I have never been a car salesman, or work in marketing.

Yeah, that’s unfortunately not how marketing works, because that’s not how consumers think.

What’s really strange is that I saw it on IMAX *opening weekend.*

It’s not a “ghost” track because it’s since been torn down, but many a day of youth was spent watching races and demo derbies at Santa Fe Speedway outside of Chicago. I can still hear the radio announcers... “This Saturday... Tournament... OFFFFFF DESTRUCTION!!!”
