Something seemed wrong about the previous story’s numbers, and indeed, now we know that it was wrong. I’m glad we’ve got a bit more context behind why.

I had to scan past 21 fucking ads to get to the end of the article.

So this pretty much confirms the general shape of the new Bronco... and it looks good! This is going to be very exciting. Looks like the cloth covering it in on the previous teaser wasn’t lying!

The same idea holds true for auto vs. manual sports cars: acceleration/lap times take a significant hit with the stick. So really, it all depends on whether you’re okay with the fahrvergnügen/performance-drop tradeoff. (It’s worth noting that the manual really doesn’t sacrifice much in towing/payload—it’ll still yank…

You buy this truck for the same reason why I bet you bought your manual Hellcat:

The automatic is significantly less fun.

Aaron, let me just say that you are excellent at your job, but you are woefully out of your depth here.

Really?Do you have trouble telling the difference between unfair and deliberate deception?
The plaintiffs brought the wrong arguments to court and got shot down for it!!
Look, i sypathize with them on the cost.Our legal system is shit.No argument there! The cost of having something heard in court is a massive blight on…

It’s shitty and negligent, but there is no intention to deceive or defraud.

Yes, that’s his position, and that’s the right position.

Putting aside the high dudgeon you wrote this article in, you are completely incorrect. Is it unfair in life that bad things happen? Yes, go ask Melville in Moby Dick, but not all unfair things are illegal or have the same culpability.

This is why bloggers don’t argue legal cases. It was wrong, obviously. But it doesn’t fit the legal definition of unfair business practices, because it wasn’t intentional or deceptive. It was careless. Which is negligence, a completely different argument which the plaintiff could have argued. Her lawyers chose the…

Your focus is wrong. Your focus is on the term “unfair”, which is a subjective term.  The full term is “unfair practice”, which has a direct legal definition that isn’t matched by the actions taken by the mechanic in this case.

And in this case the court was right. There was nothing unfair or deceptive about forgetting to tighten the lug nuts, what was just negligence. In this case the mechanic *did* actually rotate the tires, he just did a shitty job at it.

That was my first take. They have a range of 83 hp, which comes out to about an 8% variance from the average. The results are nothing more than an okay estimate if they can’t recreate the same numbers within 2%

The address to the third thought, the answer is “because GM made it”.

I don’t even give a shit if it has a platform cousin in the Fusion. This is a Lincoln I actually want. Actually, if I could get even more outlandishness with the Continental, that would even be better.

It’s pushrod, which is, uh... (checks notes) primitive! DOHC is more... what’s the word... oh yeah, sophisticated! We don’t need objective measurements of superiority as long as we can look down our noses at it.

Their pushrod engines are better than Europeans’ equivalent DOHC engines.

How do you know they don’t use the bed? Do they need to have bricks sitting in the bed 100% of time for it to count?

I agree on the smaller wings and refueling. And the smaller wings with less elements is what the new developing rules will have in them.
