I get this... while my 2011 Acura TSX likely doesn’t have sound to match that Mercedes, the ELS audio system with 5.1 surround DVD-Audio capability was a revelation when I first popped in the included demo DVD-A and did induce me to buy a home DVD player that supports both DVD-Audio and SACD so I could benefit from…

There’s literally nothing a conservative can say that’s so stupid and demonstrably false that he won’t double down on it when called out. There’s literally nothing a conservative can say that’s so stupid and demonstrably false that he’ll be punished for it by his own constituents. This is the reality we live in: a…

Elon Musk spent all of 2023 insulting his most important customer base, and promoting causes they find repugnant. Is this a surprise to anyone?

He also insists it will be a symbol of “traditional values,” anti-woke and vaccine-free.

an unqualified classic design. For my money the best looking car ever to come out of Japan.

For my money, the 1992 Honda Civic sedan was one of the most elegant designs Honda has ever produced, and a car that doesn’t look out of place on the road today, 22 years later:

The S2000 for sure. Honda could re-release that car without changing a thing... OK, it would need an infotainment screen that stretches the length of the dash, but other than that...

It did manage to score an “ironic cool” due to Breaking Bad, though.

Agree with the Pathfinder of that era. It looked badass with those fender flares then and it looks badass with those fender flares now.

They don’t have actual scandals to criticize Joe Biden for, so they just make stuff up. It’s like Obama and the brown suit. When the pickins are this slim, you go with what you’ve got... even if what you’ve got is a whole lot of nothing. Same thing in Congress where the GOP is trying to impeach Biden for loaning his…

Yeah... China suing anyone for undermining WTO rules is a joke.

If she had bought the work at the retail price charged consumers, the bill would only have been $380 — also less than the purported $400 the Santa Margarita store had indicated, according to the lawsuit.

Chrissakes, why are you bothering chasing after these people? Let nature reclaim her own morons.

“The Jones Act requires goods shipped between U.S. ports to be transported on ships that are built, owned, and operated by United States citizens or permanent residents.”

It’s unsettling for sure.

As I was staring out at the bridge collapse from my office in the Inner Harbor this morning I was wondering how long it would take the Right wing morons at Fox and elsewhere to blame this on one of their hobby horses. Didn’t take long.

My sister was accosted once, at the height of the Covid pandemic, in a South Carolina Walmart, because she was wearing a mask. It’s not enough for these jerks that they refuse to wear a mask. They want to punish those who do.

Yeah. You really can’t beat a Civic for reliability. That said, a 5 year old Civic these days is a $20k car, which just blows my mind. But it’s certainly a cheaper, more reasonable option that’s probably going to run for a decade without giving you any serious issues. I’ve got 180k miles on an Acura TSX that I bought…

Yeah... the luxury hierarchy seems to be German > Japanese >Korean > American. I don’t think anyone buys an American luxury car because they want a luxury car. They buy American luxury cars because they want to buy American. Cadillac’s been trying to overcome that issue for a while to limited success. Lincoln is a bit…

This would have been an, at most $1900 Miata a few years ago. Today, in this market? Who knows. I still think it’s about $1000 over-priced.
