Mostly agree, except the last part. He should not be active, he should go away. I won’t hold a grudge, but nothing he has done merits giving him a public platform. Particularly to profit off of.

It’s INSANE that a book about relationships written by a 21-year-old became a hit. Absolutely insane. 21-year-olds are IDIOTS. *Especially* 21-year-old dudes. I can’t believe that actual grown ups took him seriously - even evangelical weirdos.

All he’s doing is moving the grift to a new crowd. Don’t ever be fooled by these types. Leave them to rot. 

So...Is coming out next?

wow, I thought maybe the quoted article had it wrong, but no.

Guys, I wrote this on Deadspin already, but her name was Veronika Nikonova and not this... mess that was written in the report. She was a former child actress from Belarus (this story made headlines here in Russia last week). 

Inquiring Minds Want to Know...

There’s a guy in Tampa — not surprisingly, a plastic surgeon — who does all his own repairs on his F40, his LaFerrari, and his two Maybachs. He also repairs his own roof and cleans his own pool. 

It’s like insulting Beyonce fans, except I’m less worried about the blood pressure of your average Beyhive devotee than I am the jumble of Alfa apologists that come out of the woodwork every time someone suggests maybe their below-average-quality not-a-BMW might have some reliability issues...

It’s not meaningless.  It continues to erode his support.  And we will see the dividends of such in the 2020 election.

Also, I might be wrong, but I don’t think C&D staffers tend to treat the cars like rented mules, especially long-termers where they’re evaluating them on livability as much as performance. 

Go fuck yourself. 

This is bad and lazy concern trolling. 

Look out, Mack!

This is weird bad faith concern-trolling. 

That’s going to be a no from me, dog. 

My first thought when I read the Car and Driver article was, “they’re just being too rough with it, constantly mashing the accelerator at stoplights, braking too hard, one driver after another putting too many miles on it...” But then I snapped out of it, and realized that’s the whole point of this car. To drive it…

Back in the mid-to-late 80s, I had a business meeting in NYC and I’d driven in non-stop from Allentown, PA. After parking the car and heading toward my appointment, the urge to pee became overwhelming so I ducked into an office building to use the washroom in the lobby. Upon entering the washroom, I was greeted by…

Who pissed in your corn flakes this morning?

Conversely, owning a Sixties muscle car is a great decision. Parts are dirt cheap. No surprise, all the 2nd gen Charger sheet metal is available from the aftermarket. You work on the car, there’s plenty of room. It’s old, so there are no electronics to glitch—it’s an utterly basic car even Grandma could get running.
