where’s the gene simmons-terry gross interview?!

you’re really going to miss out on all the remakes looking 2% better on PS6  /s

This will unfortunately likely never make it to america. It’s hard to see how a brand with no US awareness (no, “ryan reynolds ‘owns’ the f1 team” doesn’t count) that’s a subsidiary of a brand with next to no US awareness and sells two models (including this upcoming one) could compete with the cayman and electric…

wait, i thought all cars had to get crash tested for federalization, no matter what. Like how you hear about “we only made ten of these multi-million dollar cars, it’s a shame we had to sacrifice one for crash testing”

ironically, the GT1's engine is the basis of all current mclaren turbo V8s

missing the giant red bull can though

SUV ubiquity aside, which definitely contributes to this, another factor/side effect is that the euro design standards meant for pedestrian safety in city centers has resulted in taller, more blunt front ends which can impact visibility/depth perception

interestingly, i saw an add from 1987 for the lotus esprit comparing specs across the class and a 944 was $90k in today’s money. $60k for a baby panamera with lesser-than cayman performance would be an interesting proposition

not an unfair observation, dying younger adds to the mystique too 

yeah, the data on child safety was non-existent in the 80s, i don’t think the no-front-seat and car seat until x pounds requirements really came in until the early 2000s.

I’d argue low hanging edgelord fruit, right-wing red meat along the lines of “uhhh, a picture of the pope, covered in feces, uhhh holding a dead baby” was never avant garde, at least by the 90s

what a “saintly” outfit

“you never go full steven segal”

FWIW the underpants bomber was also an amsterdam-detroit flight

him resigning is not a great outcome, it’s part of the whole “nomadic cop” phenomenon. Often when a cop resigns before an investigation is complete, police will drop the investigation as “welp, they don’t work here anymore” and when the cop applies to another department there’s nothing on record that they did awful…

Ramsey is a grifter and i liked levin a lot more when he just did the voice for master shake

“came up to me like a dog”

forgot about the mark x/t-bird clone concept and googled it. That roofline is incurable as far as “throw some bling and a different badge on it” goes

It would never happen in america because the money doesn’t exist. Europe’s “pay more in taxes but get no-cost/less expensive services via the government” model at work, which has its own pros and cons

coming soon to tetris remastered...
