I would love to do a motorcycle restoration. Alas, this wouldn’t be the one. Maybe a CB400F or an airhead BMW. Better luck next time, Little Honda

A bunch of large ships wallowing about on the surface makes a hell of a lot more noise than one comparatively small drone that’s presumably attempting not to advertise its presence. You can’t exactly rig an aircraft carrier for silence.

Hell of a job - pity he had to ruin a perfectly good fast wagon by stancing it

Oh fuck, we’re going to be overrun by the most terrifying gang of all, the Lulu Lemons...

Looks like he went hog wild with Stephen Millers “InstaHair”

Jesus, if Mama Trump was the trophy wife, what did the second place get? A colonoscopy?

Didn’t her Slovenian grandmother teach her never to eat toadstools? You never know if they’re poisonous or not (hint: this one is)

Like a dolls eyes.....

Language is language. Words have meaning. It’s not a difficult concept

You’re an alumnus or an alumna- “alumni” is plural

You’re right - our Odyssey had significant welly- what I liked about the SEAT was that it was car-sized, but still fit 7, and having the manual made it more interesting to drive than the Ody.

A few years ago I drove a SEAT Alhambra - a badge-engineered VW, IIRC - 3 rows/7 seats but compact and car-like, 2 liter Diesel, 6MT, and significant get-up-and-go for a people carrier. It really pissed me off that we couldn’t get things like this in the US, having to content ourselves with squishy minivans or SUVs if…

So how does it compare with the Miata now that the Miata got a not-insignificant horsepower boost?

That’s fucking hilarious, although I can’t help but feel a little sorry for the machine

Ah, that’s because it’s a hukai

Might they still detect it if it’s a half-mile below them, with thermoclines etc reflecting and distorting sound waves? I imagine an atomic burp from that far down would ruin the day of any ship(s) in the area.

Absolutely no contest for me, even before the $23k vs $36k difference comes into play. Neither is blisteringly fast, both are comfortable and well-appointed. Even my slow-as-balls Outback Wagon becomes a fun and engaging drive by virtue of the 5MT. For me, the stick trumps anything the Signature might have over the…

Hell yes - this is “crappy old roadster” money for a far-from-crappy old roadster. For that money and age, I’d be fine figuring out how to address the IMS issue, and anything else that came up, myself. Emphatic NP

It looks great - the Panamera has improved with every iteration

As it turns out, the UNC Board of Governers (largely Republicans, IIRC) pulled a “Mattis” on Carol Folt. Although she originally planned to step down at the end of the academic year (May), the Board essentially fired her, telling her to go by the end of January. I guess the good ol’ boys weren’t happy with her…
