Michael Bay. 

Speaking as a veteran. I like that the current version is understated and not overly patriotic. I fucking hate going to ballparks and being force fed American flags, anthems, 7th inning stretch patriotic songs, etc. Enough already. I always tell people that on actual military bases we don’t even have that level of…

Here’s a take that’s apparently hot, but shouldn’t be:

Also, the C3 was incredible slow.

No you are not reading what I am writing. This is very simple and you are making it complicated because you probably are not the type of person this whole thing is meant for (AKA you don’t give a shit about branding or how to wield it and are thus neglecting to apply brain).

As I told the other dude, different paradigm. The AMG badging does not work this way, it is not merely appended or prepended to the model designation.

The dipshit executives over at Cadillac who approved axing V-Sport in favor of making weakling V cars and then introducing a new, higher-end badge for real Vs needs to be fired yesterday along with the useless flotsam who came up with and floated the idea across his desk.

This is it folks. Cadillac finally cracked the code. Give the V model as much power as a Camry and change the letters to numbers. Cadillac’s back, baby!

So while the Germans churn out 500+ hp SUV’s Cadillac responds by...... Diluting the V branding.

The GX underpinnings are Toyota Prado actually, the LX is the Lux Land Cruiser version. This is more of a 4Runner underneath but still a great truck

I'm on a steady diet of Southwest kool-aid.  I'll go out of my way (100's of miles in some cases) to fly with them.  I'm more than satisfied they do not fly smaller planes. 

I just bought a Pixel 3a for my wife. Why did she choose the 3a when her old phone is less than a year old?

But the fictional autonomous taxi has the same issue, and if it's operating 24/7 to maximize fairs, the places it does sit and wait will be closer to congestion and more expensive per space then an area more residential.

Fair enough!

These strikes are typically carried out by MQ-9 Reaper jets, the bigger, older brother of the MQ-1 Predator, using laser-guided Hellfire anti-tank missiles.

I really like how my new(ish) Miata doesn’t have a sport mode and has 1 button off traction control.

I mean, that’s a bit reductionist. I doubt the automotive computers from 1989 could handle the needs of a braking system like this.

But on eBay, I can set my own price. On Uber/Lyft, I can’t.

Whenever someone says stuff like that, I just have to wonder- why do people side with corporations over people so often? Do you tell auto workers they’re fucking stupid for not looking for a non-manufacturing job? You think video game animators are stupid because they get laid off after every game gets released?…
