In fairness on #2, neither has been made in over a decade and working on an assembly line doesn’t necessarily mean you’re an enthusiast or expert on the product being made.

I don’t disagree with any of this

With rare exceptions like ultra exclusive old cars, stuff like 250 GTOs where an example would be originally built for X legendary racing driver

I’d argue against it being historically significant. I’d say the vette given to him when he was actively doing astronaut stuff would be. A similar car he bought in his 70s less so.

zero’s a percent!

gordon smiley’s fatal crash was pretty awful

at least it’s better than convincing otherwise unskilled italian hardasses that they actually are mafia tough guys in real life, despite being in the profession probably most removed from it (paid pretending?) /s

This is the logical next step for the same party that brought us amy “throwing binders and office supplies at my staff isn’t bad behavior, these haters just can’t handle a strong woman in a position of power” klobuchar. As shitty as many right wing anti-logic tactics go, hiding behind “membership of historically…

that’s why the nozzle occasionally has foreskin?! I thought it was to clean up/prevent drips. I’ve had “stops refueling at each quarter tank increment” on every refill at ohio pumps, looking into the plastic thing

is present on the 997.1C2S. Pain in the ass, going to see if inverting the pump nozzle works

which begs the question, what’s the fine for actually parking like a fuckwit?

bold of you to assume they’re not real transformers

I read “yellow suit” and was hoping for a blue velvet reference

It’s across the board, not just film (or art for that matter). Pretty much everything we consume is run through algorithms by bean counters and marketing execs in the name of “optimization” more than ever, which is why what we consume is more homogenized than ever. Why make a sports car that only has a 30% chance of…

was going to say, seems odd/foolish to try and cash in 14 minutes into your 15 minutes of fame

I can see the logic path of comparing john lennon’s treatment of his son sean vs julian, but it still doesn’t make any sense.

another angle of that analogy is to claim “they painted those slurs themself to make trump supporters look bad!”

without some compelling evidence to the contrary you practically have to believe when someone makes a claim like this. Otherwise you’re stooping to maga-level hot take assertions that “those people painted slurs on their own house!” on first report of something like that

when writing is your job, yes

God bless america. Conservatives would scream “how dare you not let me do whatever i want because freedom” and liberals would cry that it’s “classist/racist to make people keep their car in a state that won’t put others at risk of death”
