Why is it “ridiculous”? It’s not tasteless. It was in the economic best interest of both Air France and Pepsi. I’d like an explanation for why you think it’s worthy of ridicule.

Well, I guess I don’t need to watch the last 17 minutes of the TV coverage now. Thanks.

Interesting as always, Tyler! One piece of constructive criticism:

Carry on, then.

I did. They’re cool with you releasing video prior to the first? Maybe I’m wrong to assume that they actually meant you couldn’t jump the embargo with anything on the car, period. But hey, at least you didn’t crash, right?

Wow. You guys just never learn your lesson. So now you’ll be on Mazda’s shit list, as well as GM’s. I hope being a few days early is worth burning that bridge.

You seem pretty late to the party. Maybe you shouldn’t get all worked up about two-month-old discussions.

Well, let’s take it from the other direction - Let’s say I make the “winning” bid in an auction, then decide I don’t want to buy the item. You can bet that the auction company would have recourse...

Sure you can. For any of a number of reasons.

The Israelis are very good at adapting equipment to all sorts of things never intended by their designers - The B and D models, if memory serves, were always designed to be fully combat-capable for air superiority, but the main reason for the back seat was the training mission, not as a weapons operator station. But…

That whole “No reserve, nobody outbid you, but you still didn’t win” business sounds really shady. Isn’t that a violation of contract law or something?

Try shifting back and forth between reverse and regular psychology to rock yourself out of where you are stuck.

Another solution in search of a problem. Instead of adding an expensive gadget to the truck, Ford could have simply written the following in the owner’s manual:

Well, technically you could do those same two things at once in a normal shower, as long as you’re OK with stomping it down the drain when you are done...

ProTip:

Think “there is a toilet in the same 2.5 by 2.5 foot space as the shower head.” Like a shower stall with a door that happens to also have a toilet in it.

What interests me most is the dihedral wings on that car... This is the information that the Googles found for me:

It sucks when your article’s color text turns out to prove you don’t know what the hell you are talking about...

Why would you crank the engine when you knew it was overfilled? Wouldn’t you just, you know, pull the drain plug? This makes no sense.

That’s turn 7, after the long back straight that runs along the river. They were concerned enough about it that they put cones on the right side of the track to direct cars onto the correct line, and cones as brake markers on both sides of the track. If anyone was going to crash, that was where they figured it would…
