Summary of the top posts that generally follow your articles:

So they’re issuing a virtually no-cost recall purely out of “concern”; wouldn’t have anything to do with the good PR that’s followed. I’m no Tesla hater but I’m still waiting for them to act similarly on an issue that will eat into their profit margin before awarding them the Automotive Moral Superiority trophy.

The Driven “race through Chicago in F1 cars” scene is a pretty fantastic compilation of blunders.

Cool also because when you inevitably pull up to the far more ubiquitous Vantage you can mock the driver mercilessly.

The federal and state incentives are out of control, particularly in places like CA where you can basically knock a cool $10k off your new electric car price (not so crazy for a six-figure Tesla but that’s an insane discount on a $30k Leaf). It’s the kind of price slashing you expect from companies mired in scandal…

Agreed, more about the press release and subsequent discussion than actual performance.

Maybe if you had worked a little harder (Seinfeld)

All about those massing seats

Responses so far seem to assign a negative connotation to the word “ridiculous.” I’ll go the opposite route: the Volvo XC90 spider web design in the rear storage compartment is pretty ridiculous in the sense that it’s completely unnecessary; doesn’t make it any less cool or fun though.

Just spent way too much time reading that whole forum thread. Fascinating, though.

I’ve always paid attention to CGT prices as well, and assumed the recent price spike was connected (in some weird way) to Paul Walker’s death.

I’d be all over that Crock Pot if I didn’t have such awful experiences with the WeMo app. Since no slow cooker (that I know of) has a delayed start feature, I’ve been eyeing this for a while. But since there’s maybe a 50-50 chance that my Belkin wifi outlet will respond to the app on any given attempt, I’m not…

PFTCommenter is funny because he’s good at this sort of thing; you’re not.

Dead on accurate. Looking even more broadly at the most egregious emitters of carbon emissions, buildings blow cars out of the water, despite conventional wisdom. It’s definitely time to look broader, even narrowly within the auto industry, at the actual violators.

Given that most automakers use a separate “mode” for EPA testing (i.e. there exists an environment that just begs them to chat), I’d say there is at least one other out there that has been tempted and taken the bait.

“in a forbidden manner...”

You are awesome

You are so dead on correct it’s not even funny. Even if we ignore the motivation behind an article like this, posting a picture of the car you’re arguing is “ugly” and loudly yelling “see, see!” with a completely subjective analysis does nothing to prove the point. It’s essentially the same thing as using a word in…

Thank you for saying this.

Not a supercar per se, but this image is particularly amazing given that it was taken on the isolated (and poor) island of East Timor. From this piece: https://huckberry.com/journal/posts/…
