The only way I can see for Uber and Lyft to keep the drivers classified as “independent contractors” is to reshape their business model and some of the look/feel that people have become used to.

If push really comes to shove, what’s to stop GM from moving their headquarters out of the US? Even if they leave most of the existing HQ jobs in Michigan, surely they could move HQ “on paper” somehow so Trump’s ridiculous efforts don’t have any legs (not that I think they do anyway).

If it hides the contours and details in person as well as it does on camera, this could be an excellent coating for preproduction test mules! 

I always thought the Prowler was really cool looking, even though my 6' 4" self with giant clown feet don’t exactly fit all that well in it. The production version was amazingly close to the concept as well, which almost never happens... but it definitely needs more power.

TBH I’d watch the old people in RVs and the Muppet rally. 

Man, the Aerotech was so cool looking. Imagine if they had put it in production, even in very limited numbers as a boutique hand-built machine...

If it’s profitable for them, they should re-introduce it as an Alfa Spider using the 2.0L turbo I4 out of the Giulia/Stelvio (280 HP!). Update the nose to include Alfa’s scudetto grille, make sure it handles like it’s on rails, and they could probably even get more money for it then they do by selling it as a Fiat.

That’s not vandalism though, that’s just being appropriately disrespectful.

Eh, the Continental isn’t all that similar to a Bentley in the real world. I think the concept car bore more of a resemblance, but even then it wasn’t a blatant copy.

As a lover of both ice cream and peanut butter/Nutella/etc. I can’t believe I’ve never thought of doing this before.

Because adding “& Co.” then makes it sound an awful lot like a very well-established luxury brand.

This does NOT need gravy, in my opinion, but it most certainly could use some additional help to give it a little flavor kick. I’m thinking the Nashville “hot”* version is the one to go with, or maybe I’ll just douse it with some of the Taco Bell Fire packets (since my local KFC is a combo joint).

Modern F1 cars are often so composed and so capable that even when pushed near the limit they appear to be going kind of slowly (at least on TV).

I have little to no sympathy for the people that signed a contract and then didn’t hold up their end of the deal. If you don’t pay for the car, the car gets taken away, plain and simple. It’s not your asset to play hide and seek with.

Cool, thanks for the reply. I hope your recovery continues without any problems! Hang in there... 

Nice to see someone else having fun with the posts instead of taking everything so seriously!

The Wendy’s Twitter account is generally pretty funny. I’m glad for it because it’s not just another company keeping everything sterile and boring. Naturally, being the internet, some people take it way too seriously. 

Alfa doesn’t even have an app as far as I know, not for that anyway.

If you have one working hand and two feet, why not a traditional wheel/pedal set up that doesn’t require a lot of extra mapping and messing around to get going? The regular XBox control buttons would be right there on the wheel, too, so scrolling through menus and such should work as they normally would.

My Alfa has a system similar to BMW’s “Comfort Access” where simply touching either of the front door handles with the fob in your pocket unlocks the doors instantly. Works very well!
