Also, that back end looks like it was cribbed from Honda. Again, not a good thing.

Was there a memo that was issued to all car designers everywhere that from now on, all new vehicles must have a weird body panel up-kick at the D-pillar, with a black-out panel above to “simulate” tinted glass, with a gentle down-ward to the rear taper? Ever since Nissan started doing this on EVERYTHING other…

And if all the franchised Ford dealerships in your area were owned by the same company (as is often the case) is that somehow less of a monopoly? Further, what does it matter if Tesla owns all the Tesla service locations, if there are 3rd-party service areas licensed to service Teslas?

You realize “insane mode” and “safe car” are mutually exclusive things when being controlled by an “asshat” as you describe. That mode makes the car no less safe when on then when off. The aspect of “safety” you’re worried about comes strictly down to the operator. He could be driving 20mph and still kill someone by…

Maybe just “Bro” because it isn’t big enough for the ‘nco’?

It’s the new Bronco! (OUCH!.....hey, don’t throw sharp things!!!!)

I imagine the only reason Republicans don’t like executive orders coming down is because the executive in question isn’t a Republican. Even though Lincoln was a Republican, that breed of politician is vastly different than today’s cowboys, and I also imagine that the ‘reasoning’ for saying they were against it being…

So re-read this and realized this is the running weight (passengers, fuel/gear) and the thing is around 54oolbs dry. That’s still 1000lbs more than the S, which I guess is maybe due to the fancy Falcon doors. Still kind of heavy if you ask me. And if I’m honest, I’d rather have a Range Rover Sport SVR for that money.

So, this?

I know that they were trying to incorporate some heritage styling cues from the original Bronco in this, but what I see here is an amalgamation of Scout and Ramcharger, and very little Bronco. That said, this thing still looks awesome.

6000+ pounds? What, did they decide to use lead-acid batteries or something? How does this thing get to be that heavy and not burn out it’s battery charge after a couple miles? Talk about your poor engineering for weight managment....

The reversability of vasectomies is a bit misleading. The greater the time difference between having it done and having it reversed the less likely it will be successful. Doctors are fairly reluctant to do them, even with patients who have good reason to (such as my brother who after 3 kids said he was done, yet his…

Long-term contracts totally exist for that reason. But when you are young and want to get signed and perform a type of music that pretty much requires a major label’s support, your options tend to be limited. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t negociate a good contract with escape clauses where you can, but often times people…

I doubt Sony is loosing much sleep over any supposed bad press or Kesha not fulfilling her contract by recording 6 more albums for them, so long as she isn’t doing it for anyone else (and thus making them money). From the history of music I have read over the years, the industry is very much on board with cutting off…

I don’t think that racism against white people is ever harmful ever

So then, what you are suggesting is that an accused person (and I’m speaking irrespective of the alleged crime here, because all criminal accusations should be treated the same regardless of what it is in the bounds of a court) should be presumed guilty and have to prove their innocense, that the burden of proof must…

Well as someone who is a lawyer then, can you blame a justice system for not prosecuting due to a lack of evidence? That kind of goes to proving an accusation. Hersay cases with no corroborating witnesses/testimony/evidence tend to not go very far.

Your comment about the UK justice system’s treatment of rape/sexual abuse cases is so balls to the wall opposite of what I read just a week ago about that exact thing as to be gobsmacking. So either the journalist who wrote this piece doesn’t know what she’s talking about or you don’t. “I” don’t know, I haven’t…

I think the tire smoke is a bit excessive (as in actually existing) at the start, but that crash on the first turn is spectacular. Alternatively, if they made the cars do wheelies at the start that would be fun too.

Was at the (Toronto) Canadian International Auto Show on Tuesday, and it was as if VW never made diesels at their stand. Not one car was diesel, nor was any of the literature (all on iPads) indicating it (had been) and option. The only slip was on the video presentation of the new Alltrack, which was of a Euro-spec…
