I don’t know anything about the engineering-but this is all about avoiding taxes on displacement. China has an extra tax on engines larger than 2 liters. I believe, but am not going to check, that the EU does the same.

I got waitlisted-then added-but they didn’t tell me until the day after. Would have been a lot of fun. 

I guess you missed my point. But whatever. Are they arresting dissidents in Alabama and Georgia? No? Then don’t compare them. 

Plus one million.

A whole lot of middle and upper middle class Americans act as if everything is The Worst It’s Ever Been and the US is a living hellscape or some such bullshit. It’s just not true.

You’re going to be you about it-regardless of your resources. If you’re a go nuts person with no $-you’ll be a go nuts person with lotsa’ $. And vice-versa.

No, I’m not looking to get offended nor am I offended.

Why not both?

Evil Empire? No. No one thinks that. It is, however, a rather evil regime. Not North Korea evil, but not exactly clean either.

I don’t get the iPad dash hate either. It’s less distracting and more useful than any configuration I’ve used-including Audi’s digital dash nav.

There simply aren’t very many of us.

Wow, very impressive. Kia has been building some very nice looking vehicles as of late.

I’m no expert on video games, copyright law, or the first amendment, but fuck it-I’ll chime in anyway.

I’d like you to rewrite that in a more condescending tone please. 

Finally-this is what I come here for.

Missing the ultimate peanut butter sandwich-The Elvis-peanut butter and bacon (with or without a banana) fried up like a grilled cheese.
