So basically, we’re prone to stupid shit that makes the rest of the world roll their eyes. 

Honestly that’s usually the right answer. 

Miata isn’t a great option if it rains a lot or if you have a long torso or need to drive with a 65 pound dog. 

Anyone remember how we were going to rename french fries “freedom fries” because the French opposed the invasion of Iraq?

If it were possible to extend michigan down about 100 miles and illinois to take the other 100 and just completely separate Indiana from the great Lakes, everyone’s lives would be better. 

I wanna say Mustangs, but it’s not the car, it’s the driver. Here’s the thing- if you honestly believe you are a superior driver and you aren’t a pro, you are probably the one causing trouble, because you KNOW your superior driving skills and reflexes make you a super driver.

It’s sad because Google Maps used to be such a clean and easy interface and now all the garbage they’ve added is actually driving me (no pun intended) to Apple Maps.

Honestly, it’s not a single incident, it’s a lifetime of Hoosier nonsense, driving on I-65 between Indianapolis and Chicago. For being a great lakes state, Indiana has the storm handling abilities of it’s southern neighbors. Indiana has always wanted to be a southern state and it tries to manifest that wish by being…

A $110,000 Jeep wrangler is basically the equivalent of driving the “men will spend anything to avoid going to therapy” meme to work. 

In the past, I pushed my motorcycle up to it’s 150mph top speed and that was... mostly boring. I’ve been driving on I-39 down the middle of Illinois and realized I was going 100 mph and that yeah, it doesn’t make the prairie any smaller. All speed really does is up the stakes when something goes wrong from this is bad…

You have to appreciate the hubris of a company that can say, Sure, Apple and Google have hired the best UI designers in the world for decades now, and they probably know more about how people interact with screens than literally anyone on earth but... I bet we could come up with a better interface in 12 months. Our…

I’m the weirdo with a stupid long drive several times a month (450 miles each way), a good portion of that drive across a state that will likely be the last place on earth to electrify. But even so, if I could get fast charging (say, 180 miles in 5-10 minutes) consistently, I’d go electric. because stopping for 10…

I bet there’s surveillance data from the NSA that monitors keywords that Americans are saying and that info is reported to the president and if so, you can bet that Trump’s number one goal is to keep the number of mentions of his name going higher every week.

Honestly I think we’re rapidly heading for a world where George Miller was the only one who got it right. 

And you know what’s worst about Orwell being right? He was a terrible writer and his dystopian future was both boring and stupid. I mean for fuck’s sake, the world of Mad Max has more nuance and complexity than the world of 1984.

Or even 2 years ago, when prices were going up and inflation was becoming a serious problem, when you could still go a week or 2 without hearing from the president. I know some will say it’s because he was really old and infirm, but I choose to believe it was because he was a normal fucking human being who didn’t need…

Oh. My. God. HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG! The woke is coming for us! It’s coming for US ALL!!!

And more importantly, his insurance company will not care. And any adjuster looking at the way he’s claiming to be immune from the consequences would have serious cause to say he’s a very bad future risk and recommend his policy be dropped.

I’m sure his insurance company will give zero shits about his excuse. 

I’ve said it elsewhere today but from this day forward, fuck ANYONE who buys a new tesla. If you already own one, buy one of those “I bought it before he was crazy” stickers and know that your resale is going to be garbage so you might as well thrash what you’ve got.
