We here in Nebraska use North Dakota when we want a good “flat” reference.

Now if we could get it down another 50 minutes or so, it might be palatable. And about 90 less games per season per team.

To me, none of the Japanese luxury automakers make any sort of performance-related product I have any interest in, unobtainable halo cars notwithstanding. The last one I would say I had some interest in would have been a 6-speed G35 coupe, but that would even be just for a posh cruiser rather than something I’d take…

What car has Infiniti put out that was a driver’s car other than the G35 / 37? Which has now been shifted to a technological slot a la Mercedes, where they’re even advertising that driving is more for worrying about your middle-management powerpoint and having the car drive itself for you, since you’re too busy to…

Interestingly enough, if you pay for the first Uber, they give you enough free booze to get you drunk. It’s the world’s least-profitable loop.

It was for a shitty Mazda 3 too. But I was 23 and it was "my first new car" so only the tears of Zeus could be used to lubricate it.

Z’s are fine until you test-drive a Corvette. Then you realize they’re not fine.

Couple dealership mechanics stories:

The Eagles are interested.

This is an example of the ol’ famous fine, yet oh-so-important line of writers that know how to write humorously, and punters that try to write humorously and just don’t do well at it.

My gal has a 2012 EX. It’s fine. Hell, I had a 98 coupe DX with 105hp and it was fine (although they were like 2300lbs back then). Does your wife think it’s weak and anemic? She probably thinks it’s fine (along with the tons of people that buy them). Hell, the 2012 and the Fit my prior girlfriend (obviously I only…

Patrick Bateman doesn’t run people over that are acting crazy and wielding chainsaws. You don’t know how this works, do you??

When you’re talking about a base Fit or a Civic for your wife, I don’t get why having a 1.5L turbo is a gamechanger vs. whatever plodding 1.8-2.0L NA they put in them now. It’s going to pretty much be the same car, right?

Welllllllllll.....I mean, we’re not saying it’s coming TOMORROW....

And the same old song and dance on the opposite side is true...there’s a handful of “jalops” that are saying Honda doesn’t make anything that interests them, and yet, they are still selling enough Accords and CR-Vs and Civics and Fits and TLs and etc that shows that making cars for people who don’t care about cars is…

You’re not a wizard?? What are they paying you for?!?

How do I make it such that people at parties ask me about dogs vs. ask me about work?

Look at the simplicity of the forms, the evenness of the curves, the glimpses of mechanical guts beneath the painted skin, the marring and etching in the paint that could be easily polished out.

Marion Gaborik’s tying goal in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals last year against the Blackened Hawks.

Not to apologize for "Bufflin" here, but there is a mindset in hockey of being very protective of your goaltender. If you think the "rules" in the NFL are geared towards being overly protective of the quarterback, it's similar to that but the "code" is left to the hands of the players.
