It beggars belief that black men are suddenly committing suicide, by hanging, outside municipal buildings, at the same time as the greatest racial unrest in the last 20 years. 

Complete tangent here, but I started wearing foam earplugs to concerts when I was shooting photos, so I was right up by the speakers. Amazed the difference it made, so I would wear them even when just out in the crowd as well.

I think it’s more likely that it’s just the turbo’d 2.5L engine, as it follows the pattern of the CX-5's progression. The turbo engine was added to the top trims for the CX-5 a couple of years after the current redesign - including the new highest Signature Reserve trim which hadn’t existed before. 

That grill still looks like it was badly photoshopped in place.

I don’t think he’s trying to fan the flames. Rather, he wholly believes that the only answer to end this situation is brutal force. Rather than, you know, agreeing perhaps that black Americans have been treated unfairly and have legitimate grievances.

Looks like Ghosn needs to arrange another musical instrument case-based escape to a better-financed safe haven.... 

It’s funny how there is basically no evidence of widespread voter fraud, and where any actually occurs, it is on the Republican side. Then the GOP uses a few scattered incidents (8 ballots! Oh my!) to sow fear of millions of fraudulent votes. The worst part is, MAGA voters will eat it up.

Market: HD bikes are big, expensive, and kinda passé. We’re going to look at other options.

“Officials today claim progress was made to officially reopen the factory next week, if Tesla can manage to comply with a few standard safety practices.”

It certainly matters to me. I walked away from a second Corolla lease for my wife because they still lacked Android Auto. Now she’s in an Impreza and I’ve got a CX-5. A car without AA is a non-starter for me.

Toyota has been one of the biggest heel-draggers in adopting Android Auto, especially given their size. For a long time the objection was over data gathered by Google that they would rather either not share, or collect themselves. But they are finally slowly getting it in their cars. It doesn’t surprise me that a lot…

Reporters ask him basic questions on things like why he says testing is available, when states are saying it is not, and he says “that question is horrible, disgraceful”. Really, who is the snowflake?

“including a black and gold flat tracker and a blue cafe racer design”

There’s a happy medium to be had - have physical controls for important functions (basic HVAC, volume, presets, seat heaters etc.) but ALSO link it to the infotainment, so that it can a) be controlled there if desired and b) more advanced functions (cross-functional user presets, things like turn on seat heaters when…

I honestly cannot understand the choice of background for these, as basically the first “real world” press photos.

Only a pleb would crawl out the window. The point of the Aventador is to have the scissor doors. Owners would rather die in their cars than not show off that feature.

Glad I just went to a UPS center today to pick up a package.

The fact that people are arguing both sides of the price point here (too expensive vs a good deal) makes it seem like they hit a decent compromise.

It’s an amazing argument that the womens’ teams are less skillful than the mens, which is obviously why those no-talent ladies keep rackin’ up trophies while the men have topped out at the quarter-final of the World Cup. I’d love to get paid more than top CEOs for failing at my mid-level job!

“Zonda” has not been at it forever. Pagani has been at it forever (first the person, working at Lamborghini and prototyping carbon stuff, and then the person and his eponymous car company, starting with the Zonda).
