I think the OP was referring to the first line in the post, “Fitbit’s are arguably the best fitness trackers around.” The author has (incorrectly) inserted an apostrophe+s to indicate a plural there.

Apologies in advance, because I know this kind of comment makes me sound like a dickish pedant.

This is a genuinely good article that I can never share with anyone because of its title. The implication of my sharing an article about how to break through one’s own mediocrity is that the person I’m sharing this article with is 1) mediocre, and 2) in need of help to correct their mediocrity.

You might also consider an early ‘00s Toyota 4Runner. The N180 (made through 2002) was a relatively handsome vehicle that was available with a stick, and there’s plenty of room for things and people. My dad has owned a 2001 4Runner from new—it now has about 110,000 miles on it and has never needed more than regular…

There are probably a bunch of reasons why the car in question doesn’t come in manual. Let me list a few:

Los Angeles City Hall. It looks like the mutant albino lovechild of that one creepy purple Scientology castle, the Luxor, and every kitschy beach hotel in—god help us—Miami. But it’s so deeply noir (I mean, it was in Tower of Terror, Dragnet, and a game that was LITERALLY called L.A. Noire) that I don’t even mind how…

Agreed. As much as I love puzzles that spread awareness of manual transmissions, this was a hilariously bad question that only has one answer that makes sense (unless you badly overcomplicate things)—and that is 6.

Can I retort?

Aaaaand the A/T-loving troll comes out from under the bridge to compare M/T drivers to Neanderthals.

Ok, I don't want to be a dick about this, but my English professors would repossess my degree if I didn't point out that in the cover picture for this article, you have some splash-text that makes zero sense.

Turns out YOU were Kaizer Soze all along!

Now taking bets on when modern car design will hit Peak Scowl.

Neat idea. The application that occurs to me right off the bat is actually not for old cars, but rather for the next generation of commercially available self-driving cars. You'd pretty much need the manufacturers to be in in the idea (which makes this less a hack than a business proposition, I guess?), but hear me…

Correction: that should read "Dogmonauts."

I can only refer you to the iPhone 5S as the perfect example of how untrue that is.

At the moment, the only gearbox listed is the ZF 8-speed automatic used in other Jags and Land Rovers (and a bunch of other things), and while there's no mention of a manual, it may be okay because that autobox is pretty fantastic.

Weirdly, the result of combining a Jag and a Land Rover is a car that looks eerily like something Subaru would make...

10/10 might actually buy this...and put it on my face.

I'm really, really sorry to be this guy, but...you have a couple typos in your first paragraph.

No. Done. Saved us all some time.
