I only have BI_GO, I had Carlos Ghosn as my center square...

Chemtrails, 25 year old secret immunity deals, self driving tech, government raids, China’s soft-power neocolonial bankrupting of Africa.

Really?  My life is pretty boring right now.  A better metaphor might be paint drying.

Neutral: current pet peeve with G/O media’s incessant changes are that I only see one comment on an article now, and I have to click See All Replies. This is most annoying when I get a notification for a reply to a comment; I follow the link, but since it’s only showing 1 comment, it doesn’t link to the reply. And…

3rd gear .... Why is this still not a thing? California alone might prop up VW with that thing.

“the announcement that the manual Accord would be discontinued — not surprising given Honda’s claim that manual sales accounted for 1-2% of the Accord’s sales total. In fact, demand was so low that Honda says it stopped even building manual Accords in December 2019.”

Cadillac tried this by moving to NYC, but it didn’t work out for them. GM just needs to focus on making better quality, more interesting cars. 

Elaine Benes for me...

If someone doesn’t have “If you can read this the bitch musta fell off” on the back of their leathers I will be terribly disappointed.

Sooo, AMA Pro roadracing tried racing Harley XR1200s about a decade ago.  The bikes were very cool looking.  You could buy and race modify them for cheap.  The racing sucked.  The bikes were slow and there wasn’t much passing action.  I was really interested in it to begin with, but lost it fast.  I can’t imagine this…

They hired management from GM?

To balance; I like it a lot more than I thought I would.

I think that’s right. Especially since the Escape became a bubble in the latest generation. 

I gotta say I hate this a lot less than I thought I would. 

Only for the wrong engine?! I hate this crap. I really want a manual Genesis M70 but it's only the less powerful of the two engines. And same with the new suburu crosstrek, want a manual? Sure, here's the 2.0. Want the new better 2.5? CVT.... Why do they keep doing this and then wonder why nobody is buying manuals?…

He's a fast hombre, that Manuel

A design that over-wrought and so obviously aping supercar sensibilities and it came with a 107hp I4?

The $5-6k options on AutoTrader will also need a clutch soon. Maybe in a year, maybe in a week... Who knows?

And I got a great idea on how to start a car theft ring.

Hmmm... Sounds kinda sporty compared to the Equinox 1.5L I rented a couple of weeks back. Interior was decent enough, but performance would have been better if I’d left it in neutral and tied a schnauzer to the front bumper and kept tossing squeaky toys out of the driver’s window.
