Ford should strip this insipid "Focus" name from the car, and simply call it the "RS".

Agreed on the competition, and I'm not really trying to bash on Ford as much as it sounds. I'm sure the RS really will be a compelling drive. But...I still have a hard time with their interiors. But for me, not sure the Focus (even with a better steering wheel) is up to snuff inside.

Will the interior of the RS be any less shitty than the rest of the Focus line? I sat in an ST, and good lord, that was not a pleasant experience. The RS isn't some "econ-o-hatch" price-point any longer. It's trying to compete with the class-leading interior quality of the GTI / R and the boring but (now) good quality…

You didn't even have to mention you were that young. Us old bastards would have figured that out when you mentioned how much it pained you that a TV show might go away. Don't take this the wrong way, either. I get that we all find attachments in life.

Now for the speed part: its 0-60 mph time was originally set at 3.9 seconds, but now it's 3.9 seconds.

Refund? Good Lord, I remember those grand ol' days.

I would say that their relevance ended with the Fox chassis. And even then, my recollection was that they were a little more show, than go. If you went all-in for their suspension package, you could get a pretty decent handling car (considering what it started as). But, it's not like those core components were…

Face of the franchise would theoretically mean that the fans would even know what the guy looks like. Not sure if that applies to Bridgewater.

...some things never change

And the hoodie is still wearing those fucking Flojos.

Consider the shark to have been jumped.

An incredible spectrum. However, I can't stand political commentary under the guise of comedy - from either side of the aisle. I've seen Stewart perform other routines, on other shows, and he's obviously talented and funny. But the Daily Show is just of no value to me.

Some people like easy, pandering comedy. That's how those shows are fabricated.

I'm exactly the opposite. Before that Oliver show first aired, I was impressed by the funny promo continually running. Then I actually tried to watch the thing, and couldn't stand anything about it. I even tried again, just to see if I caught it on a bad day? Nope. Couldn't bear to watch any of the guy. Then again,…

Yeah, that's why it's such a wild sight, when that detail is in town. It's a sky-full of helo-action!

Nice Tacoma, Ford!

Ha. Indeed. I never even really bothered to think about that. The only reason I even knew there was a twin-rotor model at all, is because I've seen them fly over when the President visits Los Angeles. But they've always been far enough away that I couldn't specifically see such details.

Cool stuff. What's really neat, is when the President is actually traveling in Marine One, there is a nice big flock of Chinooks tagging along, carrying all the vehicles, other personnel, etc.

Velcro.
