It’s all just the standard vapid salesman brag. Bellends.

Amazon has a weird selection of things it will/won’t ship (eg. I could get shocks for one car, but not another, both KYB, both sold by Amazon themselves), and that “1 item only” for things that require 2 is bizarre, but it’s better than most ways of getting parts from Japan. Especially for shocks.
I’d take it over…

No moreso than the ‘20s/’30s/’40s/’50s/’60s/’70s/’80s/’90s/00s all had their trends.

It does seem like that report is assuming there’s more capacity free than there really is.
(eg. that people could take I-880 instead - I’ve never been to Oakland but looking at google maps it seems fine in terms of journey time if there was no traffic, but not realistic for rush hour - any surface-level replacement…

Hahaha fucking what.
There’s no money invested in the railways, it’s just a cash grab for all the companies they sold it all off to and after that it was so shit, they had to do the “Privatise it again” a la Spitting Image. There’s 50 year old trains where the toilets spew shit out onto the tracks. It’s rickety,…

It’s pretty well documented

At a typical salary in the UK it would be about £500-1500 ($650-$1950) a year coming out of your pay going towards it. For everything*.
Total spend per capita is about $4000, similar to Finland, and half of the US’.

* Except prescriptions in England, which cost £9, and dentists.

Sure, taxes are a bit higher but it’s so much cheaper overall. Total spend is way lower.

It’s not stealing if it’s a conflict of interest.

Eh, at least it shifted. I knew someone who had one, and there was some plastic piece around the cable (this was about 7 years ago, when the car was only 4 or 5 years old, just out of warranty, so I forget what it was for) that kept breaking and when it did, it stopped him from being able to change gear. I think he…

This is a terrible take. As in, considerably worse than the Pizza Take.

I have sympathy for whoever came up with the styling before it got beaten down - there’s still pieces of the original idea in there, even in a watered-down for cheap production form. And I’ve worked on the kinds of projects which end up in a long…

There’s scope for it to work, I think - it’s just difficult to pull off, because it has to be big enough to feel like it matters to fans, but small enough to be run on a tight budget, and operate in the cities that have the perfect balance of not being College Football obsessed, but also not within the catchment area…

I’ve worked for a cheapskate business that only ordered stationary in when everyone got to the point of whining about it.

When I mentioned we didn’t have anything left to the CEO (small business of about 30 people and the guy who did the ordering couldn’t do it without his OK), he started complaining that I had wasted…

For quite some time now, I’ve wanted to see a Torchinsky & Tracy double-act where they try and build weird things kit-car style.

TIL Cascada did Eurovision. I’d known about them from their initial moment of fame around 5 years before that with Evacuate the Dancefloor and Every Time We Touch, but despite watching Eurovision that year (Teardrops is a tune) and remember hearing that song back then, didn’t realise it was on Eurovision.
Also,…

No, the next Supra is the Integra Type R.
After being silly and missing out on the Supra prices doubling like the Skyline’s did, at some point this year I plan to buy a DC2 Integra Type R , before you lot make it obscenely expensive, like Skylines and Supras.

It’s pivoted away from that kind of writing into a different kind of cheese, but the first one (a dumb-fun but pretty solid Point Break knock-off) has a good sprinkling of that. Vin Diesel’s “winning is winning” monologue is brilliant.

Oh, so that’s what Twitter is for.

Yes, there’s a reasonable aftermarket.

Also in Malaysia. There’s some pretty crazy Peroduas with engine swaps from the turbo’d versions of the Daihatsu kei cars they’re based on, but with giant turbos sticking out the front of the car.
