Like Kilimanjaro across the Serengeti—such is the shade that Aretha throws.

Not a fan of the rape revenge flick. They’re rarely feminist and frequently exploitative. In these kinds of movies, the end to a rape story is that the rapist gets what’s coming to him—rather than the victim living with years of trauma and potential sadness/isolation within a narrative that never really ends. If these…

Yep, that’s why no man ever has been raped, no drugs have ever been used to limit people’s ability to fight back, and rape is solely a thing that occurs in a dark alley when a tiny defenseless woman is attacked by a big strong man!

MotherFUCKER I miss that stupid thing!!!

Yes, VW, eliminate model overlap! We don’t need a GTI Wagon AND a Leon ST Wagon. We just need one of them over here in ‘Murica. Make Europe share their sport wagons with us please :(

My inner twelve year old is crying for a “that’s what she said.” My inner twelve year old is a jerk.

I had it my senior year, too, and I got a colicky one. After a few hours, I buried it in the basement under a mountain of pillows and blankets to muffle the sound, and ignored it for the rest of the weekend. The paper I wrote to go with the printout said that ever since my oldest sister had a baby at 20 and moved back…

Have we ruled out the possibility that it is his wife that has made the complaints?

I’ve said that a million times. That,or people calling out someone (on this site,no less) for having an M3 convertible. “OMG,it’s slower and heavier than the regular M3!” “You’re just a poser!” and whatnot. You can like something and not have to wring it to 9/10th every day just because that’s what it’s designed to do.

Neutral: I was explaining this very thing to my girlfriend as she looked for a new car. We then ended up cross shopping used luxury cars with new high trim “economy cars” and a new economy car almost won, but the driving dynamics was what sealed the deal on the used luxury car.

Don’t forget that after the Japanese cruised onto the scene big time in the late-seventies/early-eighties, that “longevity” peg of the luxury equation has been virtually completely eroded. What’s the point of Mercedes rolling bank-vault solidity when I can buy a Camry, daily it for five-ten years and hand it down to…

I fund my penny sock slinging with penny stock slinging

First gear: I don’t think the problem is that “luxury” cars only have branding to differentiate themselves nowadays. It’s normal for features to trickle downmarket until today’s entry-level models are better equipped than yesterday’s luxury car. Feature-wise, modern Lincolns, Cadillacs or Acuras are still (slightly)…

People buy cars for status all the time. Non-car people react purely based on the brand, no matter what the car actually is. My last 4 cars have been 328xi-G35x-Golf R-ATS... guess which one people thumbed their noses at despite being nicer than the E90 3-series? And that it cost more than anything they’ve driven?

Why your piece in not being proudly shown in the Louvre?

I’m just going to go on record that my drawing contribution when Gabrielle asked us to draw her like one of our french girls was criminally underappreciated.

EMMA CARMICHAEL: I didn’t really believe we could sustain four full days of content. And yet...

How fascinating that being your kid’s best friend is the reason Katie Holmes is a 5/5 mom and Jada Pinkett Smith is a 1/5 mom. I wonder what on earth the difference between these two women could possibly be to provoke such disparate reactions to the same information. Hmmm.

First choice of Beyoncé lol. Say what you will about Gaga’s acting, but she's infinitely better than Bey. Never forget Goldmember.
