As the saying goes, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. So what if Tesla is losing money on the very second model they’ve introduced. It’s a work in process that’s going to take a long time to refine. As it stands, Tesla already commands an incredible amount of respect on so many levels and they already…

Guys doing that ride for show anyway. They’re the assholes who routinely hit triple digit speeds on the straights and then go walking speed around a bend.

I can’t speak to this particular photo, but I’ve seen guys on the road with ape hangers, tassles and all the chrome covered accoutrements and the riders always seem to think they’re the coolest shit on the road.

I want to see a new supersonic passenger aircraft so badly, I don’t mind that this one is so freaking ugly.

I’ve been a fan of Alfa Romeos for some time, but I just don’t like the styling on this car. Maybe it looks better in person, but here it looks like a BMW 3-series with a rear end from Kia and an awkwardly stubby Audi-like front end. The car looks far too derivative, especially for an Alfa Romeo.

This commercial is basically saying, “It was my fault, but I don’t think I should be held accountable.”

For years I’ve felt that corporations were delusional about their prospects in China. The perception seemed akin to what you see with tech startups where there excessive fixation on volume of people. So the mindset was that with a booming economy and a billion people that even a tiny middle class would translate into…

I love hot, humid weather but the NYC subway system sucks on so many levels. Above ground, it’s not bad, but every friend and family memeber who’s visited the city was distinctly dissappointed by the subway. It casts a pall over the whole experience.

A lot of cars enjoy more appeal in the used market than new. I’ve always liked the 914 and as far as I know it’s always had a bit of a following. However, people do generally start looking at less popular options because more conventional collectibles have gotten too expensive.

The new Maxima looks great, especially in person.

To me, a startup is a nice way of saying a company that isn’t yet, or may never be, profitable. People start businesses all the time and no one calls them startups, and some of those eventually become disruptors. I know that the name tends to stick with some companies, but once you’re established and reasonably…

The smartest choice is always buying used and financing if you have to. Low mileage car are practically new, many are still under warranty and you’ll generally find a better deal than buying new. You’ll end up spending less and once the car is paid off you’ll have money to save or spend elsewhere.

Back then live action adaptations of games or movies were generally poor. There seemed to be this persistent fixation by Hollywood to make every property they got their hands on more mature and edgy. The association with an existing property was there merely to get people in the theaters. So while I didn’t like the…

Why wouldn’t they have instead 3D printed this shell for a Nerf gun? You could extract a lot more fun out of the thing that way and not risk running afoul of the law.

There are definitely regulations concerning prescription drugs. Ads and websites go through internal legal departments and are then submitted to the government for final approval. It’s why TV commercials mostly disclaimers and side effects and why drug websites feature pages worth of safety info prominently. And as…

The SEAT sites I’ve visited all consistenly display the name in all caps. So clearly, you’re wrong on this one.

That Sienta is pretty cool. It’s something sorely missing in the US: a compact minivan that uses interior space efficiently.

I saw one of these the other day. While the proportions are a bit weird, it looks incredible in person.

I’ve worked through the rise and fall of Flash. It was a great resource that made it incredibly easy to create dynamic content. Adobe definitely didn’t do any favors, but Flash really has been unfairly maligned.

Does Deep Dream do anything other than stick faces all over everything?
