My guess is that they’ll have a subscription service, maybe with unlimited use and periodic use plans, with some accommodation for non-subscribers at the superchargers at a higher price.

Be nice if you could use a pressure sensitive Wacom pen with that.

We’d all be dead from alcohol poisoning in the first 20 minutes of the show.

LeBlanc has and had a legit car and motorcycle collection, and his own motocross track in his yard. And is far funnier than the show let him be. And far crazier as a driver. Fast enough to really give The Stig or Schmitz a run for their money.

The problem is, if you introduce all the other hosts and their resumes, you…

Thumbs up for Extra Gear.

I feel the BBC’s heavy, conservative, bureaucratic hand in every aspect of New Top Gear. Especially in the selection of Chris Evans as the primary host and leader of the show. The way he talks, he’s an agent of the BBC, put there to make sure everything stays polite and civil.

They picked…

Thank you for setting my expectations at an appropriate level.

I’ve never seen an Aventador that color. I like it. In LA, I’ve only seen them in orange.

Old age makeup is always done as if plastic surgery and hair dye don’t exist in the future.

Millenials weren’t the first generation to think that major leaps in technology only happen overnight. Some stuff takes generations. And more generations. Sometimes you can’t just leapfrog from one level of technology to another. Sometimes it’s a hard slog through incremental improvements until you reach your goal.

Pretty sure that when we start running out of space for graves, people long buried will be dug up and their bones put in storage boxes or vaults.

The car needs a turbo version. That’s been its problem from the start.

“Have you heard the good news about our lord and savior, Phoenix?”

According to my PD friends, this sort of behavior by a judge is designed to silence already overworked public defenders and to deny their “clients” a fair trial or hearing. First the judge won’t hear their arguments, then when they try to make their arguments anyway, they get threatened or slapped with contempt.

The main problem with facing the seat backwards with forward emulating video, is that your sensations would be opposite. Where you’re seeing a scene that tells you that you should be accelerating, your sensations would tell you that you’re decelerating. Ane when the scene tells you that you are decelerating, you’ll…

Hasn’t science fiction, or at least Doctor Who, taught you that everything you thought would be cool in the future, turns into some horrible dehumanizing experience in practice?

It certainly has seen some Savage deaths. I was watching this race live on TV around age 15.

Wow, never in my life has anyone said salt was worth more than gold. A lot of stupid ideas percolate through the Internet. There’s no unit of measure you can find that could make that make sense.

Salt might have been worth a lot of gold, and it might have been worth going to war for, enslaving an indigenous people over…

So basically, Tornado Alley will have normal temperatures. Fair enough.

Here in SoCal, the best curvy roads are mountain roads, which we have a lot of. The roads don’t ascend in gentle inclines, but rise about 700 feet per mile. Power makes a huge difference. Especially low end torque.

If you don’t have that, but you have curvy roads on relatively flat land and rolling hills, the FRS/BRZ…

I’d sum up your grievances as: The Focus ST was too much of a luxury car. And it’s sort of enough of a luxury car for me. Which doesn’t fit many people’s idea of luxury.

If the S2K was always your dream car, the Focus just never was for you. The Focus ST is a practical car capable of much fun. If you need something…
