I honestly like where the builder’s head is at. Everything about the job works for me, aside from cheaping out on the flares. But this dude needs a new broker if he thinks someone will pay more than $20k for a hacked up 17-year/280k mile bimmer.

I wouldn’t mind seeing them acknowledge their general moral cowardice during the Bush administration. South Park relentlessly lampooned Clinton during their early years, and then had almost nothing to say about Bush for his entire presidency aside from a vaguely amusing episode about bombing Saddam in heaven.

Apparently no one remembers all the joking before Titanic came out. Critics desperately seek metaphors to describe an ambitious, wildly expensive expensive movie that ran into its own pretensions and sank! A shitty newspaper from the University of Wisconsin had some fun with the idea.

The Coen brothers cinematic universe

Daaad? I don’t feel so

A key point, for me anyway: a large fraction of those K24 engines will be able drive themselves to the polls when they turn 18. How many A3s or 320is can say the same?

Ten bucks says that Trump takes THIS guy’s criticism to heart.

I love this project, his attention to detail, the originality in some of the solutions he found, everything. Buuuut...in the end it looks so much like someone modded a 350ZX to look like a Porsche. I am sorting through my feelings about this. 

As a snotty teenager I had a great five minute sales pitch for satan that I saved for Jehovah’s Witnesses who came knocking. It was basically this blog post - don’t let some church tell you the love you feel is wrong. Eff that church and go love whomever you love. Satan doesn’t want you to casually break the law,…

If you see one of these at a Cars & Coffee, go ahead and run.  It’ll give you a head start. 

No sharks in lakes?  Someone should tell Ubisoft about bull sharks. 

I have an idea. BMW should make up some new bullshit term to fudge what it is and create a market niche that sounds cool but doesn’t really exist. This is just a first pass, but what do you think about ‘gran coupe’?

It still looks like it’s shitting out a Porsche. That’s not bad per se, but it makes me more inclined towards an NSX if, say, I saved the life of some European royalty and they insisted on buying me a car.

Easy NP. I would buy it myself if I had space in the garage.

I want to know what ‘all that bad’ looks like to you. Hazarding a guess, I’ll say a 2018 750IL with whatever options give you the most ungainly combination of backlit buttons, multi-function dials and infotainment screens.

Maybe! I’m not sure, I think I might have been high. It had flying buttresses.

Acuras don’t count. I don’t think Honda could make something over-complex, unreliable and finicky if tried. The ‘03 TL Type S has a NA V6 that you could probably repair yourself with a Leatherman tool.

Is this real life

For christ’s sake.  You could hold a day care in the back of that thing.  I am convinced you could lose your kid under the seats. 

Honda Fit is an excellent answer. I have an ‘08 that will go another ten years if I keep changing the oil. You can park where you want, it sips gas and bikes go in just like the man said. It will take bike racks on top and on the back if you want to throw a bike party, and the cargo area is easy to protect.
