I don’t think it’s really a bad thing tbh. It’s one of the few (comparatively) analog sports cars you can get with a manual, RWD, and a pretty powerful N/A engine. It’s still a competent sports car by modern standards, and really the only complaint I can leverage against it is that new ones are overpriced for the age…

Ford got away with it with the Mach E, so I’m really not that surprised Nissan is also expanding their “Z” into a separate segment.

It seems as if road tripping during a pandemic efficiently eliminates all of the reasons to road trip in the first place. When I road trip I want to feel, taste, smell everything. I have made a roundtrip to Alaska from home in San Francisco on my motorcycle. Motorcycles have a way of putting you up and close with…

Thank you - Just Don’t is the only answer, unless it’s a proper emergency.

They would have created the law whether protestors walked silently singing slave hymns dressed in their Sunday Best or they came wielding torches and roping up elected officials tarring them (my favorite). The point is this government hates people of color and will make any excuse to kill them. History teaches Riot Act

“Also, for what reason would any officer fire on running children?”

This is your daily reminder that cops are not expected to keep their cool and act rationally but they expect all citizens of all ages to act perfect even if doing so is in direct conflict with a instinctual biological reaction.

The NAACP is now calling on the Waycross Police Department to release body-cam and camera dash footage of the traffic stop, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution. 

Don’t shoot back at the pigs. It’s the exact reaction they crave to justify their unjustifiable violence.

Which is dangerous

Because touch screen!  Because fancy!  Because we don’t know how car interiors or driving work!  Because the laser eyeballs will do it, you don’t need to drive!  Autopilot! 

Touch screens are dumb and dangerous for any functions of a car that are actively controlled while driving. Sure, bury settings in touch menus. But stereo volume, hvac (esp defrost), wipers, cruise, trasmission, blinker, lights, etc all need to be physical buttons that can be manipulated without looking.

I like Ford, but Farley is an asshole.

“In the face of a crippling pandemic and job crisis, the company has decided to do what it does best: maximize shareholder value. A Reuters exclusive report on Thursday said the company is hellbent on paying out dividends to shareholders,”

What? Giant American corporations are the embodiment of evil?

The losses will continue until morale improves. In this country at least this is merely prelude. Q3s numbers will be worse - unless the GOP decides to take up the House bill that has been sitting on Turtle McConnells desk since May and start the money helicopters back up and make it rain some free money and eviction…

Side effects include: depreciation, catastrophic failure, and the addition of Q to the end of names of certain models. If any of these side effects occur, stop using Ultium immedately and consult your doctor. 

“5th Gear: Should GM Be Called Ultium?”

OK, me first. Do not take Ultium if you are allergic to Ultium. If you have had problems tolerating  Stellantis, consult your health care professional prior to beginning Ultium.

Back in 1985 the Soviet Vega probes deployed two balloons in Venus’s atmosphere. It’s not heavier than air flight, but it is flying.
