another reason why millennials aren't buying cars?

I go through an $1800 MacBook every three or four years or so, whereas I could have gotten into a cheap dell that would do approximately the same job (albeit less gracefully, or something. lol) for about $800 a pop. I figure that the premium I'd pay over a decade would be about $2,000.

the average millennial will spend more on the "MacBook over Dell laptop" premium in 10 years than I will on the "Tag Heuer or Omega over Timex" premium in 30 years.

I'm kinda middle of the road here - I do appreciate a good middle-of-the-road timepiece (like an Omega Speedmaster, Longines Heritage, or Tag Carrera or Monaco, or many many other builds), but I do think that a $35k+ watch is kind of overboard unless it's featuring a cutting edge concept or design that will stand up…

which is kinda sad, actually.

the title of this piece should instead read "watch a wreckless motorcycle rider attempt to thread a needle with a basketball"

I'm well aware of what he did for Pontiac, as I'm very well aware of GM's management hierarchy throughout the late 90's and early 00's. To suggest that a segment "brand manager" had any influence on whatsoever on a product design conceived and executed in Warren is to ignore what, in essence, made GM a dogpile…

Dude. Don Butler's a marketing guy. He's not "responsible" for anything, other than selling the turds that other people make. If you wanna blame someone for the Aztek, blame Tom Peters. But then again, Tom's had a pretty good track record in the last decade or so. C'mon man.

but...this is really real. with real cars. in a real (defunct) mall. with, aside from a few roller ramps, no special effects. generally speaking, this is about as real as a car chase scene can get, aside from the premise.

i'm white, so its okay for me to use that term.

i can't disagree with this. i've watched the Audi R##'s racing at Sebring the last few years, and there's just something cool about hearing a car rip past without hardly making a sound. its incredibly unique and could serve as a differentiator for F1, which sounds kinda like a MotoGP bike anyways except with more…

why not? a speaker is a mechanical device that vibrates. i mean, a woman could likely have an orgasm with a gasoline-fueled weed whacker, depending on where she puts the handle of course.

ah yissss....the Orenthal II.

nah, just a pincushion with money.

stupidity has a short expiration date. "too soon" ended about 6 weeks after it happened.

assuming, of course, that the sound in the video is "organic" and recorded directly from Senna's car and not synthesized just to sound like it. i'm guessing that the audio was synthetically generated and that each speaker reproduced that sound to include the doppler shift dependent on the car's theoretical engine…

so now that we've got what *not* to say covered, when can we go over what we *should* say?

i'll check back when it can crush at some homoerotic beach volleyball with kenny loggins rocking out on the boombox in the background.

i'm a huge fan of it just because its different. i can drive to the same place i always do, meet up with the same friendly bunch of racing buddies i always do, and yet drive on a race course that is 100% different than the one i always do. its convenient also - i live 30 minutes from my local track, but the next…

many responses here are starting with the phrase "except for ____ model, its ___ brand."

there's only one brand that you can't even think about starting a sentence like that: Honda.
