That's a good thing.

I liked the new Total Recall better than the old one.

I am all for more accountability from LEOs.

"...since you're not a scumbag like most of these squids,..." I agree with your logic, but I think this might be the disconnect. The majority of the NYPD might be pillars of their respective communities, but YouTube and the news are chock full of examples of them being scumbags.

I sure would like to take this as an indication that NYC has come a long way since Kitty Genovese.

The group ride was composed of half a dozen different orgs. He might have been assigned to one group. He's just a cop, not the fucking NSA. Look, I am more than happy to find fault with the actions of any LEO, I think they should be held to a higher standard. I just think your expectations might not be reasonable in…

This. About ten years ago I was cross shopping the SRT-4 and the Mini, (Among others,) and the dealership experience was night and day.

I've been on plenty of group rides where I didn't know either of those things about most of the people involved.

GM won't give us a stick shift with a V8 in a sedan? What a shock. Still the same shitty company that should have gone bankrupt a few years ago.

You and I might have different views on design aesthetic, but it sounds like we both dislike a lot of what is out there now.

I don't own a car, and I commute nearly every day, rain or shine on my moto, (Unless it is in the shop in which case I am on the bus or bicycle.) When I am on my bike, I am very assertive, and I have no problem splitting lanes at 80+mph. Everyday I deal with asshole motorists, even when I ride conservatively.

I vastly prefer the Aston derived design than the Gillette look, or the amorphous warpy crap that preceded it.

What you did there, I see it.

I bet, (I could be wrong, of course,) that if dreygata had called it Chinese writing and it turned out to be Kanji or Hanja or even worse, Katakana, someone would be frothing at the mouth about what a racist dreygata is for not knowing the difference or assuming it is all Chinese.

"America hates socialism almost as much as they hate dieting."

What a shitty, ignorant thing to say. Bypassing the tired, inaccurate "Fat Americans" trope, the issue isn't that Americans hate Socialism, it is that we are bad at it. Europe gets College and Health benefits, we get state intervention that makes the rich…

She looks better, (Less like David Bowie,) in the bottom picture.

I agree, and damn, I knew it was heavy, but I didn't know it was that heavy. Gross. No wonder it has those disgustingly massive wheels.

That's 1800+ lbs more than my last SUV, ('97 Cherokee 2880 lbs.) For the price of the S, I could buy another Cherokee, add a tow package, a trailer and a Caterham all of which would…

Hashtags are useful, and I love that fact that they are called hashtags, not poundtags. People calling the "Number" sign or hashmark the pound sign is irritating. the pound sign looks like an "L".

Thanks for the informative response.
