“Could this technology be viable today? You’d think that we’d be far more capable of developing a quiet, functional helicopter-airplane hybrid in 2019 than in 1959.”

That’s not what I did. I said I’m here as long as the current staff is. But if G/O basically trashes the place, I was wondering if I’d have to end up at the Drive, R&T, etc, which I don’t think are perfect replacements. 

Huh?

I’d imagine there won’t be many people not using adblock at this point. 

I think Barry was basically running the show after Megan left. I don’t think it was about his personal writing output. 

“Except Democrats never made centralizing the government part of their party platform.”

“I hope Deadspin never covers sports again.”

I’m a dead-ender here with the writing staff, but sheesh, this will not go well for G/O management. I’m wondering if I’ll have to go to The Drive if everything goes south.

They could. But again, it invites bringing up their past, which they likely won’t do. 

No, dieselgate means VW is cleaning up their environmental bonafides, they’re not going to go after anyone else in marketing anytime soon. 

Congrats, you’re an anecdotal exception. 

“The marginally faster DCT 0-60 mph time is mere dick-swinging”

And yet, these will probably sell just fine. 

They’re a little slim on brand new models. But with dealer consolidation with Sonic, Autonation, etc, I can see this happening. 

VW isn’t going to go after anyone’s environmental bonafides.

Well, profit is generally concerned to be net losses, and it does say that they expect to feel the brunt of the strike effect over the rest of the year, so it was kind of mentioned. 

I’d imagine manufacturers would still find a way to let people test drive cars. 

I mean, it seems like that goes both ways, no?

Almost no customers will actually notice.
