this is a very good observation. past rule sets et al meant cars, even dominant ones, weren’t as reliable as they are today which gave rise to the occasional “surprise” winner and the perception of a shakeup. Current days feels a bit like alabama football (slightly dated reference, yes) but it’s guaranteed that no…

I remember reading a quote from a RM customer/enthusiast that pretty well sums up the attitude/thought process behind liking a watch like this: “it’s like wearing a six pack of rolexes”

High end watches products are all stupid and ridiculous, and often pretty ugly. The more expensive and high end you go, the stupider and more ridiculous the watches products get.

might just be badged century but sold/serviced at lexus dealers. heaven knows japan loves divisions/submodels/everything gets its own unique badge. my brain practically exploded tying to figure out how ɛ̃fini slotted into mazda’s lineup

“Relax, wranglers were made to go off road!” *mashes throttle*

It can be relative. Have a friend who’s works restaurant jobs and went for a few years. They have an allotment of “hardship” tickets with sliding pricing and it was the only travel he did those years. This feels a bit like shitting on a middle class family to scrimped to go to disney as “the bourgeois” because they…

a lot of these people (prime example: trump) are much more concerned with (and spend the necessary time, energy and money) perpetuating the idea that they are good at business than they are at being a successful buinsiness person

I seem to recall her phrasing it as “doing what she had to do to get by” while omitting the part about doing that with whatever method requires as little effort, et al, as possible

he absolutely thinks the photo in this article exudes “intimidating” and “mastermind”, but not “saw something surprising while having to shit”
