which is why i said minivans are at times a necessary evil.

To be fair, while Landon did try Europe, he wasn’t patient enough to stay there. Which is sad because he seemed to be content with MLS and never try again for more. He was in Europe when he wasn’t ready, but in the middle of his MLS career, he easily could have played for a top flight Germany club not named Bayern, or…

Except that Landon personally quit on the US men’s national team that he claims to love more than the “foreigners” at which he is throwing shade. Landon Donovan is a petulant baby asshat.

“CUVs are an abomination, a crime against the automotive gods. Minivans are at times a necessary evil. WAGONS are at least versatile and practical.”

Definitely sarcastic. Although he definitely killed them.

It just seemed to me he was expressing frustration at himself for agreeing to do that final interview, and knew how he came off. He seemed to be saying, “Oh, of course. Killed them all.” Plus, did he follow that with a “stupid... stupid...”? Or am I misremembering.

Am I the only person on the planet who thought he was making a sarcastic comment to himself when he said he’d killed them all?

Billy, if you want to die because of something a Brazilian soccer player did you should just officiate a Brazilian soccer match.

The car in the story could not exist without computers. The average soccer mom or tech bro does not have the ability to handle a 400 HP car without the aid of computers. I prefer cars that are involving and to get to work as easily as possible 400 HP is wasted on a glorified Altima.

New cars are too powerful. No one needs this to get to work, it is not a car that will ever see the track and it is only a computer that keeps the leasees from killing themselves on a daily basis.

With Zidane—a former Real and France legend who currently manages the club’s reserve team in the Spanish third division—waiting in the wings, Madrid have a ready replacement just waiting for the call.

It is real! it is called tatra 603. with aircooled V8 in the back, . and un-grey me please. I have been here before kinja as a star commenter and now no one sees my posts

This. I am, ashamedly, an office drone in the south. Every day, as I slink into the heart of the beast, I am surrounded by pickups with immaculate beds diving into the same pit of despair as my hatchback.

You could do all of that with a wagon or a minivan or even a large sedan. Don’t try to explain away your blatant and illogical wasting of resources to project an image. Just roll with it.

“A lot of people love the idea of [the previous Defender], but they never buy one.”

How about something ridiculously classic like a Model T or something? Would that be too expensive? It surely wouldn’t depreciate.

I would drive that EVERY SINGLE DAY...

Claiming that the Men’s World Cup numbers are “slipping” relative to the WWC is preposterous. The growth rate of the Men’s is slower than the women’s, because all of 600,000 people watched the 2011 WWC and a whopping million watched the 2015 WWC. Contrast that with the ~22 million viewers watching the 2014 Cup.

Women’s…
