Firstly, there are regular cab companies in major cities offering the same level of app-based functionality as the rideshares. Secondly, as consumers (and drivers) people have the voice to pressure companies either through legislature or by voting with our wallets, public complaints etc. to push them to strive for…

Funny how we may all argue and differ on the idea of the “Best” car, but we all tend to agree on the “Worst.”

I’d say libeling a former president would count.

More like Shee-ron (the “on” part said like the on in don’t, but without the ‘t part)

Fuck ‘Real America’. I grew up there, it continues to exist largely because of massive federal wealth redistribution programs that take tax money from the coastal (and a couple mid-western) states and distributes it to ‘Real America’.

No, the government’s primary duty is to “(F)orm a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”. Providing for the common defense is one of the primary duties, along…

I would contend that the budgetary considerations for a manufacturer are considerably different from the budgetary considerations for a regulatory government agency, since they have completely different structures, mandates, incomes, and reasons for existing in the first place. The EPA doesn’t make widgets and they’re…

No, Z3 is crap. M-convertible is NOT Z3, they are as different as chalk and cheese.

As an American who lives in Europe, I’ve long been bewildered by U.S. defense spending. Looking at the general budget breakdown, it seems that paranoid madmen are deciding where money is being spent. Of course, with the current crop of politicians in power, that’s not too far off—but this has been the case for…

You went to the pits?!

Damn. I forgot how gorgeous that Lambo was. So sad.

I don’t know about that, but Arch Duke meant the actual race. Up until the early 70s the cars ran together. As in, the races happen at the same time, in the same track. F1 cars had to lap slower F2 cars, and I’m pretty sure there were drivers running both series throughout the season, as well as teams competing in…

That’s an utter bullshit argument.

I’ll watch that shit show.

I thought it was just me. I never use cruise control in daily driving because it makes me feel complacent.

Why do people join HOAs?

Honest question, I’ve never heard of *any* good reason to be part of one; they just seem like you’re agreeing to give control over what you can and can’t do on your property to the worst bored old-lady busybody stereotypes.

Yea... where’s Park?

I’d like to echo the QA complaint. Levis of today just ARE NOT the Levi’s of 20 years ago. Yeah, I know, everybody gets tired of the old man saying that… but… it is simply true. From sizing, to fabric durability, the Levi’s I’ve gotten in the past few years just are junk comparatively. And know how I know? Because I…

No, there’s really no other reason. You just have to remember that the younger kids were raised a little softer than most. Thus, they feel the need to be fashionable.

Fashionable to me is a good suit with sharp shoes and a kicking tie. Jeans are comfort wear that shouldn’t be passes off as fashion IMHO.

This is kind of a pointless exercise if 80% of the jeans listed are various fits of Levi’s. It would be far more constructive to recommend five different brands of jeans and leave the individual style up to the readers. Now that four of the five options are from the same company this is really just asking people which…
