That’s fair, but my question was posed from a “what would make the racing better” perspective, not from a business perspective. Personally, I say if Ferrari and Mercedes are going to get pissy and quit because they can no longer buy success, then screw ‘em. But I understand F1 can’t take that stance because they need…

I would assume none will be in showrooms; it will probably custom order only.

A) “That’s how it’s always been” is never a valid answer.

I can’t imagine Sony wins this war long-term. Disney and the MCU are a juggernaut.

Allison gets my vote on the merits of the Old Fashioned alone. It was a squeaker with Kate because of her Bloody Mary and French 75, though.

Agreed, I think the criticism of a British Royal is a bit harsh. He likely doesn’t have a choice.

Why can’t they just standardize everything, like some other series? The racing will never strictly be between each team’s drivers and strategies if they’re not in the “same” car.

Lol you can always spot the Finns.

I bought a CPO 2016 GTI, and I didn’t really worry about getting it inspected before I bought because it felt good on my test drive. That said, near the end of the warranty period I’m planning to take it to a private VW mechanic and have them go over it with a fine tooth comb and note anything that should be…

That’s not what I was saying. I meant the serialization of shows, to the point that they keep going to extend the story well beyond the point at which it starts to decline, is a result of show runners wanting to keep their paycheck.

I don’t think I could pay $180 for “decent” sound quality.

Money is the reason for this. Unless it’s Michael Schur, showrunners are not going to bail on their paycheck, regardless of how silly they have to make things to keep the story going.

Yes, the known presence of a camera is a much greater theft deterrent than the knowledge there is a possibility someone has a camera.

You seem like a reasonable guy, this has been fun.

Apparently a different kind of impotent dick than would call someone an impotent dick for having different priorities.

I would still never recommend this to anyone who considers themselves a videophile. The “little” things reviewers say you won’t notice in regular viewing will be noticed by a sharp eye. I know, because I bought 2 or 3 “amazing for the money” TVs before I just bit the bullet and bought an OLED.

I’m assuming the answer is somehow not “roof-mounted motion-sensing shotguns.”

Thanks, that makes me feel better. It is a great ride, considering how sharp the handling is, I just wanted to confirm the “thumps” weren’t out of the ordinary.

This fascinates me. Not so much the application, but that human mind was able to create that formula. I am a pretty smart guy, but this crap makes me feel super inadequate.

I just bought a DSG GTI, but I’ll tell you what. The number of replaced clutches on the CarFaxes of manual ones was outrageous. And this is on a search limited to 45k miles or less.
