If a department needs highway pursuit vehicles that can follow Porsches, Corvettes, etc, Mustangs and Camaros are a cheap option that also can be easily maintained by the municipal garage, fit typical officers, accommodate police equipment etc. My local state police operate mostly marked Chargers and some unmarked…

The hiatus and retooling of Top Gear, one of the world’s most watched TV shows, was one of the biggest media stories of the past year. There isn’t anyone in England who didn’t know about the show coming back.

While transactions are near 30K, there are lots of cars in the mid teens. People who actually buy new cars don’t want them, and people who actually spend that money prefer to buy used cars that sold new near 30K.

They really need to not do the last one, just to mess with everyone’s mind. When you think about it, they don’t really have a choice.

The M2B didn’t have anything to do with McLaren’s 1968 win at Spa. It was a complete dud, largely because of the engine. It was a destroked 4-cam Ford Indy engine. It didn’t make competitive power, and it was really big and heavy. The 1968 M7A F1 car was successful. It was basically a copy of the Lotus 49, including…

It’s a really useful car, it’s easy and cheap to maintain, and no one will steal it.

RUMBLE YOUNG MAN RUMBLE!

In the case of BMW, etc, model proliferation is killing color choices. By the time the dealer stocks every model in black and silver, the lot’s full.

The dealer would be happy to take orders without holding inventory. But most buyers take a car off the lot. So the dealer has inventory that’s gotta move.

Tony has become very lazy/uninformed. Most of his show is “what’s the deal with that?”, not authoritative opinion.

The ESPN 980 station podcasts include the PTI preview and Old Guy Radio. The station releases each hour of its shows as separate podcasts, so usually there are two Tony Kornheiser podcasts per day. I haven’t messed with the ESPN Radio podcasts since 980 started releasing podcasts immediately after the show.

Absolutely, in a social and professional sense, he’s the HNIC and is responsible for what appears to be an institutional failure or policy. But a single bad act by a subordinate isn’t evidence of a failure of leadership. Barring an overt act like issuing a policy memo to ignore reported rapes, it only sticks to…

Teacher: This is a great day for me. I thought I could never teach again! Skinner: Oh, things have changed. There will be no mockery of your name, Mr. Glascock.

He’s denying everything, including being aware of contradictory evidence when it’s presented to him. If he’s culpable, the only tool for countering his denial is to keep piling up contradictory testimony and evidence (such as emails) until either he recants or it’s undeniable to anyone else that he’s lying.

He’s arrogant, because he’s used to being protected and being treated deferentially. He didn’t recognize the sleigh accelerating in the distance and the wolves coming for him.

An administrative assistant doesn’t decide policy about filtering messages. If stuff doesn’t get to the boss, it’s because the boss doesn’t want that kind of message.

If I’m going with a BMW Turbo homage, I’d want those homage wheels.

It’s true that segregated MLB and Negro League statistics are distorted in comparison to integrated baseball, but the best players are the best players. Both segregated MLB and Negro League players are in the HoF, and effort has been made to induct Negro League players who were unfairly ignored by the HoF in their…
