This car has the kind of presence to it that Lincoln was hoping to achieve with the latest Continental (but missed).

I share the exact same sentiments. I got to drive the RWD one for about ten minutes and I came away impressed, but not wowed like I would have in a Tesla or a Mach E. The ID.4 is a regular car that happens to be electric, and that’s entirely by design.

VW has done well to make a car that people will cross-shop against…

This is one of the things I’ve been meaning to try for a while and I just never have. I’m on board with all kinds of other controversial food combos - peanut butter and bacon, peanut butter and pickle, apple and cheddar, etc...

“Imagine taking a high-performance sports car for a spin after filling its tank with Zippo lighter fluid, and then once again filled with jet fuel.”

Hi, car guy here. Unless the high-performance sports car was specifically designed to run on either butane or Jet-A (which is basically kerosene), neither one of these…

Rich people: “If you raise our taxes we’ll have to fire all of our employees! We can’t afford to pay more than the absolute minimum, or less if possible.”

I guess he has Waymo important things to do than to continue working there. 

The chip shortage is a great example of why LEAN manufacturing isn’t always the best answer. When everything works well, it’s an extremely efficient, cost-effective system that can’t be beat. But... life is such that things don’t always work well. In fact, I’d say that with a complex, global supply chain, the chances…

The Quad isn’t AWD, but he can pick up a 2.0 Ti Sport and juice it up easily. From the factory they’re 295 hp but a couple of simple mods can push it beyond 350 without any issue. I suggested the Stelvio for increased practicality! Still a blast to drive, with more room for plants from the garden center. 

Having a $120,000 budget doesn’t mean he has to spend ALL of that money. Fast? Check. Practical? Check. AWD? Check. Reliable? Despite what all of the trolls say, absolutely. Sexy? God yeah.

No, this is strictly solar. They might have been part of the same company at one point, but Vivint Solar is part of Sunrun now, which as far as I know doesn’t venture off into other home services and is strictly focused on power generation.

I’m joining Vivint/Sunrun doing residential solar. Basically no travel and a much more flexible schedule than I have now. I went in very skeptical but so far everything I’ve seen has checked out so I think it’s worth a shot. It could be great! Or it could blow up in my face... but I’m willing to take a chance on it…

My wife and I briefly thought about having a gender reveal party where the inside of the cake would be rainbow and we’d announce the gender by saying “WHO THE FUCK CARES, HONESTLY?!” but then the pandemic happened and also even that kind of gender reveal party is a stupid waste of money, so...

Neutral: How are you?

Fellow Masshole here. Keep trying, perseverance pays off. I finally got my first shot this week and so did like six other people I know who had been waiting a while. Good luck!

Thank you!

How do you learn which models he was responsible for? Are they just on his Insta page or is there a list somewhere that Hot Wheels provides?

When the vehicles first rolled off the line they had to ship thousands of them from the plant in Chicago up to Michigan to get repaired before they could finally be shipped for sale.

And it (along with its Lincoln stablemate) have been recalled 11 times since they were introduced only a year and a half ago.

I hope all of the tug operators and others involved in freeing this ship take a bow!

And I’m sure the Ever Given crew will receive a stern punishment.

I’ve collected Matchbox and Hot Wheels all of my life but I’m ashamed to say I never knew of his work until now. Or, should I say, I guess I knew his work but never knew his name and what he was responsible for.

As another fellow Alf enthusiast, I approve this approval!
