Think of all the innovation and engineering gone into computers. Super-sophisticated factories with super-clean environments producing parts with dudes working in full protective gear etc. etc. For decades they develop production techniques making these machines, once thought to never be smaller than a room and never

Do people still really care about ‘Ring lap times? I love the track and have driven it multiple times but honestly so what if a car does it in X minutes?

“You think AUX is funny?”

It simply doesn’t look like $133 K. It looks like a pony car. 

My friend has been doing new car ordering at a large BMW dealer in NorCal for years, and he said the 8 coupe and cabrio flew off the lot for the first 6 to 8 weeks and then just...sat there. The people who wanted them snapped them up at launch, and that seems to have been all the interest there was.

What is this car’s niche, besides BMW drivers who want the fastest BMW?

Of course one of the key issues for slow sales could be attributed to the fact that the starting price for the M8 comes in around $133,000 for the coupe and $145,000 for the drop-top. You combine an expensive car with an economic crisis due to COVID-19, and you have a recipe for fewer customers.

I’m the target demo for this, even learned to drive stick on a 850CSi. It’s arguably the best looking car BMW makes right now and possibly the only good looking one they do...but that price coupled with it just missing “that thing” that makes it special kills it for me. If I didn’t have a kid on the way, and didn’t

1) Ha ha ha ha ha. That’s BMW’s comeuppance for a lineup that’s 85% over-styled agro shit.

You’ve not complained about anything trivial in the last 6 months? At all? Even realizing there are other issues?

Yeah that is our history not our present or future. Drug addicts hate being looked down on for being dtug addicts? Law abiding tsx payers are considered racists for saying stop doing drugs. 10000 black people killed by black people not as word in protest. 5 black people killed by bad cops and lunatics burn down cities

What’s sad is that they’ve used the tools of modern technology to build a bubble around themselves. One that makes them feel like they’re exposed to the whole world of ideas and opinions while simultaneously acting as an echo chamber for their narrow perspective.

You say big-ass fan, I say big ass-fan.

Please don’t tell me what I think. I was pretty specific about what I think, and it’s not that.

This is life now. Every topic comes with a slice of “How can it be racist?” pie.

Whether the drug, it’s paraphernalia, and the culture of trying to scare kids into not using that were racist, or if it was that there was already systemic racism and the way we policed and sentenced drug crimes were representative of the underlying cultural issues is an interesting debate... but for another time.

“Approximately 45 seconds with google and the search criteria “crack racial bias” should answer all of your questions.”

How is ‘Nice Price or Crack Pipe’ racially insensitive? Are you all projecting drug use onto a particular race?

My favorite part of the whole video is watching Frank’s soul momentarily leave his body at 6:30 as he tries his hardest to be diplomatic about the “nostrils”...
