welcome to my life

Laughed out loud. I think they’re just trying to anticipate the type of internet comment thread fuckwaddery that always happens with any vehicle that makes it to market, ESPECIALLY with a major manufacturer like GM.

In fairness, the Camaro forums are chock full of people suffering from some kind of PTSD over the old Iron Duke 4. The Mustang folks did the same thing about the new Ecoboost, and of course they already had the SVO to help erase bad memories of the NA 4 cylinder in the Mustang II. It's not at all a fair or logical…

I know several middle-aged guys who hate the idea of turbo fours in anything outside of hatchbacks.

More like 50-60. “HURRR DURR REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME YOU GUYS MADE A 4-CYLINDER? YEAH MAN THAT WAS SO SHITTY, I HOPE THIS NEW ONE ISN’T ANOTHER “IRON DUKE”, BOB. HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR V8 AMERICAN IRON AM I RIGHT GUYS?”

I’ve noticed the shift in my Craigslist/Rennlist/eBay/etc. ad broswing has changed from “stuff that’s neat” to “stuff that’s already been made into a race car by somebody else.” lolololol.

Obligatory:

Why do Gawker Media writers make the best “LOL White People” GIFs?

Distronic Plus with Steering Assist is (currently) one of the world’s secret hidden marvels. Any other car seems like a horsecart in comparison. Available on M-B S-class AND E-class it literally drives itself fully autonomously continuously at up to 24mph*. I have often sat in a NY area traffic jam for over half an…

I’m guessing it was actually a faulty turbo

lol that sounds amazing. My car (2011 m37) has some similar tech, although not quite as advanced. It does radar cruise and will slow down and speed up with traffic down to a very low speed but it does cut off when the car stops completely. It has lane departure correction too within limits. As limited as both are, its…

Can you describe a little how it works?

What happens when we live in a society that isn’t just post-scarcity, but post-labor? The only thing I can think up is a communistic society where everyone is given their share of what automated industry is producing, while pursuing their own interests and pursuits. Actually, I guess in that scenario, things would…

Technology and automation will replace people when it comes to doing labor. That’s the hardcore truth, and has been the truth since we’ve started innovating. That’s why hundreds of thousands of switchboard operators were suddenly out of work, or why candlestick makers are reduced to novelty products rather than…

I really liked Iain Banks’ idea of a post-scarcity society as limned in the ‘Culture’ series. No working; just living and doing.

A fully-autonomous truck would be the perfect solution to a shortage of drivers, as it would eliminate the need for them altogether.

Great how stories like this will send most Ferrari buyers running, but will bring huge money at Pebble beach in 30 years.

I appreciate the confidence! The reality is we’re very new to this and are still learning every day.

While we’re still a few weeks from the real launch of our video channel, we are putting up small videos here and there for fun and to get some feedback. What do you think?
