Boy is Honda’s design language refreshingly simple and clean. Civic and Accord are very handsome cars. And the re-designed Pilot and CR-V look great too. Doing good work over there. 

Definitely fair. Like I said, if you happened to be up and about you have all my sympathy. That’s just terrible timing. I’ve flown from JFK to Inchon, which was about 16 hours (and closer to 18 on the way back because we had to go the long way) and I definitely got up to stretch my legs. That’s understandable. 

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too... But lately I haven’t been flying as much as I used to. My last flight was Boston to Barcelona in October, and I don’t think the fasten seat belt sign got turned off for more than a combined hour. Fatalities are pretty rare from turbulence, so I’ll expect that moving forward, that light…

VW fans are gluttons for punishment, because it appears to be sold already. So, I guess it’s a NP, but not for me.

I just don’t understand why people take their seatbelts off if they are sitting there. If you happen to be walking to the bathroom and this happens, my condolences, that’s just crappy timing. But if you are in your seat, there’s just no reason not to have the belt on. These incidents happen frequently enough that…

There’s no rationalizing with a person who thinks it infringes on their freedom to wear a helmet. That’s a stupid person but you still won’t be able to out think them. I live in upstate NY and we’re not far from NH, so we get a decent amount of guys with no helmets getting “harassed” when they get to NY. Their…

I mean, ok? The risks of being international maritime crew are plainly known - this isn’t an unknown or unusual phenomenon. I agree - it fucking sucks and is bullshit and it’s only tolerated because by and large the people who agree to be international maritime crew like this are seriously marginalized and…

It’s a mess. And yeah, some for years. Pretty recently there was Mohammed Aisha, who was stuck on a ship for four years. A court declared him guardian of the ship and he was legally required to stay on the boat, unpaid, and was stuck on the boat basically by himself for a huge amount of those four years. Eventually,…

It’s all slightly more complicated than that... This is from another comment on a Gizmodo article.. 

He’s more than a half-second down in FP2 as well. Wild. Behind Tsunoda!   

Not sure if it’s fair to place any kind of blame on Boeing here... It’s probably a 30+ year old air frame operated by an airline in a country with famously bad maintenance and quality control. Just happy to see no one died.  

Isn’t this really just measuring how shockingly effective launch control is? 

Oh, you saw? Lol. Exactly.. 

I remember getting all kinds of flak for pointing out what a nightmare owning these things would be when the Hertz story first came out. Glad to see I was right. 

Eh, ‘79 or ‘82, not much between them.

That is, indeed, the holy trinity. Same one I had. I assume that means born around the same time - I’m ‘82. A simpler era.

I live in upstate New York. Around me, minivans are wildly, exceedingly unpopular. It’s either men in four-door pickups or women in SUVs (preferably full-size, Wagoneer, Escalade, Tahoe, in that order). But there are a butt load of Tellurides. Anyway, it means there are Toyota Sienas for sale all over. Within 100…

For me, it’s the completely non-competitive (to the Bugatti or the F1) Ferrari F40. It was the poster on my wall and the car that’s always been in my head as the unobtainable thing. I know it’s not a great car. But, it is what it is. Lol. 

Like jb21 said, watching Clarkson gush about it on Top Gear was what made it clear that the car was something special. He’d driven just about everything under the sun and just couldn’t shut up about the Veyron. This article is similar that way.

Hands down was my friend’s girlfriend’s Nissan Versa. I know it’s a cheap car, but I have never driven a shittier car than that. Everything about it was unpleasant. Uncomfortable seats. Terribly harsh and stiff ride while also being uncommunicative to the driver. Miserably loud and drony. Cornering was a chore because…
