I know it is popular for German car fans to talk about form following function. I actually like Porsches. But how a glorified Beetle can said to let function following form is utterly beyond me. Unless the function is to see how good a horrible design idea, (Engine aft of rear axle,) can be, in which case, Porsche…

The less than ideal framing of the picture and the window glass disrupting the car's lines indicates that the driver was paying attention to the road. If you can accept that it isn't unsafe to drive a manual transmission then it shouldn't be to hard to wrap your head around the idea that one can capture an image while…

Millennials aren't anything. They are as diverse as any other generation. Yes, tons of them are entitled, self-obsessed, judgmental douchbags, (Not unlike my own Gen X was 15-20 years ago,) but plenty of them are quietly going about their lives like everybody else. I've notice the enthusiast-to-non-enthusiast ratio is…

Wow, I forgot how much better that gen Legacy looked.

All of that and I've lost track of how many times I see cops on the phone.

The Mustang is also several hundred lbs lighter than the beautiful, but porky Challenger.

I'm with you. You can see that he gets on the brakes. I think the driver recognized he had overcooked it and rather than lock 'em up and brace for impact like most folks do, he tried to get around it. This might have actually been the least shitty course of action once he realized he needed to slow down.

I had the pleasure and privilege to live in the PNW for a year, ('06-'07 near Everett/Mill Creek,) and while it was difficult to adapt to the CA vs WA flow-of-traffic difference, I found a lot of things about driving up there that I liked better. I liked that people move to the shoulder on overcrowded exit ramps to…

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.
