This thing’s HP and torque specs are seemingly good at 593/525, respectively, but I do wonder how they measure up on a “per pound” ratio compared to ICE vehicles. They’re carrying up to an additional 1,000 lbs over some ICE equivalents, so maybe that ratio goes down for the CT. 

Worst in decades? This same airline with this same route did the same thing in 2013. Just that no one died in that prior one. 

Thing about all those Rovers is that maybe they’re marginally better in terms of reliability from 20 years ago, but every time you do bring it in for anything, it inevitably ends up $2k minimum. So even if you are indeed bringing in less, the maintenance still ends up costing an arm/leg. 

I almost experienced this with an ex girlfriend. She was very short. 5' at best. Probably 90 lbs. We sat in the exit row and the stewardess asked this question. I answered “of course”, and my girlfriend froze, actually uncertain of being physically capable. Both the stewardess and I were like “just say yes”, but being…

The Mirage should get a pass though, having motorcycle engine power in a sedan. 

Are you calling them “Watch-Brained”, or are you saying “Watch (these) brain geniuses get arrested...”? I don’t think I understand either way, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

Most tunnel highway exits have long “cooldown” ramps well before they turn off into surface street infrastructure. This is more like 100 yards and then a hard right straight into city traffic.

I’m no nudist, but my first thought was “how are the people being naked going to make a communal space like a cruise ship any more gross than it already is?”

I’d also point out that other companies like BYD are eating Tesla’s lunch overseas in the entry to mid level market. That leaves Tesla in just the high end over there, but you now have BMW, Porsche, etc, with the brand names and build qualities people are familiar with already in the high end market. 

I actually like how the current 4Runner looks kind of throw-back to 90's-2000 era SUV’s. If they come out with a new design that just makes it look like a tall car, I’d lose interest. Interior refresh is always welcome though. 

I’m not a pro cook, but this still resonates to me. Just the fact that someone else took all the labor for you and invites you as a guest to sit back, relax, and have a meal often times means more than the quality of the meal itself. I might spend hours making a ragu and then have it with fresh pappardelle and a…

CX eliminated first class from my route to HKG after the pandemic, so I know what you’re talking about. Sad day. Mind you, I’m not rich, but would weasel my way into that cabin from time to time using points. Been fortunate enough to have sampled 5 different Asian carrier international first class cabins. They are all…

Hardly fair calling the Etihad Residence even just “first class”. There’s only one of those arrangements on the entire plane, and that A380 has very limited routing. It’s kind of in its own league way above first class with nothing for comparison.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Youtube Shorts constantly feeds this scumbag’s content to me under various other uploaders despite me going well out of my way to note I fucking hate it. Their algorithm and content policing is worthless if it can’t pick up on the fact I find these guys disgusting. 

No criminal misuse because the vast majority of crimes are for far less money than a .50 BMG costs.

Honestly, the bullet holes improve the look. Takes it from a rich boy mall cruiser to a “this dude has seen some shit” vehicle.

I fell in love with Kosol chili sauce while in Thailand. I was a hardcore Huy Fong person, but this beats it hands down as far as sriracha style sauces go.

That’s his deep cover--”DUI suspect”. 

Oscars are a joke. Often times it is the “who”, the “what” and the “when” that matter more than the substance of the films. The underlying politics of Hollywood determine the winners. Sometimes this just so happens to coincide with deserving films, directors, actors, and production. Many times it does not, and the…

I knew it was over as a trend when I saw “emergency bacon in a can”. That’s full market saturation right there, and arguably the tipping point when people started to pull back. But it was fascinating that it even happened in the first place given the trend to “super foods” during that same era. It seemed like…
