Bought a new car about a month ago. Emailed 15 dealers with the one we wanted in stock. Only half got back to me, one with $10k over sticker. Drove 2 hours with a Uhaul trailer to pick up one at MSRP but the dealership was absolutely wonderful to work with. Got me in and out in one hour and was well worth the drive to…

I think Doug DeMuro was singlehandedly responsible for CarMax changing their warranty policies. This couldn’t happen today.

the GrandTourismos that have the better transmissions seem to be priced about the same as a Jag F-Type, which is a stupid purchase that also tempts me.  

Yes I’m sure the thousands of scientists working on designing this rocket didn’t study the N1 in any shape or form. You’re far superior in terms of intelligence. 

I think a lot of it is culture. Space X REALLY embraces their failures. And they BUILD and test, not just design and simulate (and build and test and redesign).

Look at how many early booster flights and recoveries went bad and they kept on making the improvements. There is a great video somewhere that Space X…

Good on ya. Love it.

ROFL.

If I’m going to have a Kimi Quote mug, it’s gonna be the “No Kimi, you will not have the drink” just so I can tell myself “because it’s mine!” after every sip.  

Heck, they shouldn’t stop there!

“Bono, my tires are gone.”
“Felipe, Fernando is faster than you.”
“Ericsson hit us.”

If Bottas hadn’t torpedoed Max and a bunch of others at the Hungary GP, it’s likely the last race controversy wouldn’t have mattered either.

Hamilton lost in 2021 because of his screwup at Baku. If Hamilton hadn’t fucked up that restart with a rookie mistake, Abu Dhabi wouldn’t have mattered at all.

eh, i still think the british gp was just as big a deal as abu dhabi. that hamilton fans are still whining about this is a bit hilarious.

If we’re requesting mugs with radio chatter then I want Kimi! “Leave me alone. I know what I’m doing.”

One thing I agree with is that if Genesis does not quickly provide a Lexus-dealer experience then they’re —done—.

I thought the thefts occurred primarily with lower-tier cars with keyed ignitions? Cars with key fobs didn’t have that vulnerability.

“Call me a snob if you’d like”

That loud whining you hear isn’t from the engine.

“Fells like an Audi product wearing Lambo badges”

Oh great. I live in the area. I can barely write this over how angry it makes me. I ride mostly in bike lanes, wear a fluorescent yellow vest and have numerous lights to make me as visible as possible. Yet I have repeatedly been almost hit by people in their cars- the most recent when someone ran a stop light and not…
