They also don’t tell you that the 280 has some pretty brutal bumps in the road surface at the overpass seams.

“...German company was dropping jaws and panties with their own personal riff on the Lamborghini Gallardo.”

I’d be more worried they’d crash into me while freaking out about cooking in their own skin.

Why not just spread that tax break out over a diversified group of smaller, American-owned businesses, that in the aggregate produce a relative level of investment-to-tax-break ratio rather than reserving it for a foreign-backed company?

I like to go just to be a different brand of asshole to balance these guys out. E.g.:standing around looking at a Cortina asking “Is that an original fabric option? Neat!” or standing next to the guy with the 911 GT3 pointing out loudly that he’s got Michelin tire stickers on a set of Pirellis, and asking who his tire…

Careful, Alissa Walker might see this comment and come for you.

I’d actually probably pick that one, too. If you live inside it you don’t have to look at it. (Cheaper, as well: when they finished the remodel, they had to knock a little over a half million off the asking price to get it to move.)

Focus on “What is neutral for my neighborhood?” Don’t make your home stick out from the rest of the neighborhood. If your house is by far the nicest on the street, then it makes the location seem bad. If you are someplace like SF or Berkeley (especially with old Victorian’s) a neutral color scheme might make your…

“Think of it as the difference between taking a photo of an birthday party in a park from 200 feet away with a long camera lens, and shooting hours of video of that same event while mingling among the crowd.”

Sounds like an angry letter to the editor is in order.

I want mine to be like my family ordered the headstone over the phone from a very literal employee: “I don’t care. Pick a quote off the internet or something. Less than 10 words, though. He only left us two grand to cover everything, that cheap bastard.”

“Most people say things on these devices and computers that they couldn’t and wouldn’t say in REAL life to anyone’s face, lots of tough people on the Internet.”

Can we start a new show called “X eXplains it” where he just reminds people of stuff that’s generally understood to be true?

Long shot, but it’s fun and it can help, especially because the people here really are into cars, and the crowd-sourcing part IDs can be helpful. Here’s the time the police issued the jalop commentariat a commendation for assistance in ID’ing a part from a hit-and-run case: http://jalopnik.com/5967504/police…

“Part Monopoly Bumpers”

You notice where all that crap sits? Right on the bumper line! Say some dumbass with no idea how big their car is comes along, smashes out your vertical plastic light bar, and then goes on their way because they didn’t fit in the spot anyway. Well, the automaker takes what would normally be an…

(Edited for Deletion: Someone else already addressed the issue.)

Yeah. People got arrested for that back in the 80's.

Can we stop with the “i[RestOfName]” naming scheme for anything marketing wants to push as technologically advanced. It is tired, even (especially) with Apple products.

That is, unless you are naming a bitchin’ 4x4 the iTarzan and it has a U-Jane Infotainment System. I might be able to get behind that.

(And, yes, I’m…

To play devil’s advocate here: passing a psych eval and having strong cognitive abilities are very different things. There are plenty of geniuses who I wouldn’t expect to ever pass a psych eval.

Some departments categorically avoid intelligent candidates: http://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-b…

No reply. Must be part of the Illumazdamiati.
