The Ford Flex gets way too much love on this site. It looks like shit, and it’s not a good car by any metric. Its only redeeming quality is being a ‘wagon’ in a market undersaturated with wagons, but nobody’s going to pay $13k for this example of the species.

Sadly this is the argument Boeing used to sell planes. At some point you need to update the platform or you Kate going to over extend it. Not saying we are there now, but it’s not endless.

“Why bother spending money developing an entirely new platform when the current one will suffice.”

Who’s giving them a pass? Most reviews I read about them point out the dated architecture.

I was thinking about this as I danced with insomnia last night. I imagine the absolute hardest thing about these is breaking contact with the surface. I’ve never been on a sea plane, but I just feel like once you finally lose contact with the water, you’ll feel a power surge due to what has to be incredible hydraulic

Get rid of the windshield to replace it with some fugly retractable deflector panel on the nose, brilliant!

They can’t fly over choppy water or during storms. Considering the weather patterns on the great lakes, an ekronoplanes would be a death trap.

And then actually follow

Yeah, but Pushit was the longest song on that album. When you have one long song on an album, it is that album’s centerpiece, and all the other songs build up to it or provide resolution after. That’s why Aenima worked so well, I even liked the interludes because they were sort of comic relief in the proceedings.

LOL, you might be surprised to learn that legacy print mags have crashed WAY more cars than Jalops have.

The latter, he has a Valkyrie on order.

Fancy Kristen has misplaced more than $66 million in jewelry and still hasn’t noticed.

When a car is moving and bouncing, your finger can wobble on its way to a touch screen target and land on an unintended button. This usually leads to some sub-menu you then have to back out of (by hitting other buttons on a touch screen...)

Here’s the fundamental difference between Mercedes and Ferrari, one Binotto needs to address in the off-season if he wants Ferrari to improve. It’s not going to be an easy change because this is inherently ingrained in Ferrari’s culture and part of it is due to being an Italian team that the Italians adore:

I think they’re hitting the leftover Thanksgiving Scotch and quite possibly some botulism from the food that sat out on the counter overnight.

I bet when Torch wrote this irreverent article, he didn’t think he’d get a big dose of Truth™ in the comment section

This is peak Torchinsky. Please never change.
