I really thought that first image was a ~2007 Accord for a few seconds. The Accord’s 5-speed manual, while not designed by Porsche, is still one of the best manuals I’ve driven

Watching MotorTrends retro reviews drives this point home. The latest 89 “Cam Ray” V6 ripped to 60 in 9.3 seconds which was deemed “very respectable for a family sedan”.

Rob’s just fucking with us now.

Oh I can assure you, drivers here can’t figure out roundabouts either, and there are a fair number in older towns like in DC.  For all the noise we make about cars, we’re shit drivers.

100% agree on the maximizing efficiency being its own path to enthusiasm. Having a full tank of gas hit 50mpg or better in my Prius feels as rewarding as anything else sometimes. Sure, I’d rather be driving the FD on a twisty road on a 70 degree Saturday, but when it’s stop and go traffic in the city (like basically…

Exactly. One of the world’s smallest car companies find a way to make a small, lightweight, inexpensive sports car that has sold well for 25+ years. But a company that is something like 100x bigger has to find a partner to make a competing vehicle? This doesn’t compute.

I’ve reconsidered my take on this from yesterday and want to apologize for being part of the problem. Saying that out loud (or typing it publicly in this instance) is harmful and unnecessary. I’d rather have my quiet skepticism turn out to be correct than my loud skepticism turn out to be wrong, and I failed at that…

My doubts are based entirely on the incredibly sketchy, and very male attorney leading this whole thing. I don’t care about Deshaun Watson one way or another, I barely care about the NFL at all.

I never, ever, ever, want to be the guy doubting women who are brave enough to come forward with sexual assault allegations, but this Buzbee dude, his deep ties with the McNairs and being a prominent Houston personality of sorts, Watson very openly wanting out of Houston...

not tired diabetes jokes

I don’t care about the guy, but that show has 87% on RT. That’s not “worst” material.

I think he was just pointing out how absurd the statement is and it doesn’t qualify as an excuse. At least, I hope that’s it, and I’m not defending someone for conflating the two.

I think the wildest possible story with Prince would be evidence he was actually bad at something.

What if you were in a hurry to pick up your kids at a daycare that charges $1 a minute overtime, or had to get something to Purolator before they closed like a letter to the IRS, or maybe needed to pick up some elderly person from a hospital appointment at a set time and they don’t have a cell phone? There are lots of…

“Do you live in NY? If not, it’s not your taxes, why do you care? Maybe STFU.

He also got caught wearing glasses on TV, so he’s an elitist nerd.

Why the fuck shouldn’t they be fired? This isn’t a small mistake. It’s a half an hour melt down. If you are willing to do something like this, you shouldn’t be driving a bus.

There is some precedent for this.

I’m seeing more and more green and brown on new cars and I am 100% here for that shit.

Do you disapprove of editing out brainfarts? Everybody makes them. He obiously meant “doors”...
