Yeah it’s a weird stretch especially considering that the Spanish Hapsburgs controlled the Spanish Netherlands and were not Moors either. So like???

The Spanish Netherlands was Moorish? And they ruled us for over 700 years? What? That sounds like a really sketchy take on Dutch and Belgian history.

I think this comment forgets that the European market is much more important to VW than the US. While a RAV4 killer would sell in Europe (and sell like hotcakes here in the US), this is the car that VW needs to make for their home market.

For the first time in BMW history, the base model looks much better than the premier trim

Maintenance must have been part of it. With today’s engines, you could probably get away with that level of accessibility. (I keep expecting a car whose hood is sealed with a sticker reading, “No tubes or user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.”) The engines of that era needed to be…

And disappointing. I was looking forward to Evil Morty, Tammy, Bird Person, etc.

You’re taunting those of us with OCD with your multiple typos as a deliberate act of irony, right?

1st gear:

A driver’s license is a fundamentally different document. Passports are made for stamps and how often does anyone dig through your passport and question the contents? I have a fifty plus page passport that is mostly full. It has unreadable smudges of ink that were meant to be stamos, random shit stapled inside, and…

Sure, but the M5 is prettier, and so is the X5M. Trading practicality for beauty makes sense, but trading it for ugly doesn’t.

And yet in every town in Ireland you can find chain betting shops where you can place bets on basically anything — sports, politics, natural disasters, you name it. And what is the name of this chain? Paddy Power. If the Irish were really offended by the term, that was a very long time ago.

To paraphrase Arthur Dent, “this is obviously some strange usage of the word tasteful that I was previously unaware of”

First time I’ve ever seen someone describe an Escalade as “tasteful.”
