“DRL’s or automatic headlights, or plan for their upcoming exit instead of cutting across 3 lanes of traffic at the last moment.”

Luxury. At least you had a bed of nails. We didn’t even have floorboards. We had to run along with the car.

Sounds like you’re projecting.

I really don’t understand these constant comments every time a CVT is mentioned. There’s nothing soul crushing about them (if they're built right). You can argue that a manual ADDS to your experience, but acting like a car has nothing to offer with any other transmission is silly. If you aren’t rowing your own, do you…

These also had a nickname in the US. I’ve heard they have been called “b$%ch baskets” due to the girls that used to drive them all the time in the 80's.

It’s only 4 MPG, but that is 28% better. That’s not insignificant.

Come on, what’s more 80's than a car with gullwing doors built by a coke trafficker.

That Countach still does things to my insides.

The Countach is what comes to my mind every time I think of “most 80s car”, but the Vector W8...that thing is like the Countach on steroids. If the Countach could have snorted some of Scarface’s best coke off its own mirror, it would turn into the Vector.

“Problem Description: Air bag malfunction indicator (MIL) illumination accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes B0001-1B or B0012-0D may result in a loss of air bag protection for the driver.”

...and now Silverado guy is both literally and figuratively upside down in that truck.

We’ve responded to recent challenges with our customary boldness, imagination and inventiveness, underpinned by meticulous planning and a relentless focus on our customers’ needs and requirements,” Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Rolls-Royce’s CEO, said.

Toyota has a really cool manufacturing process and ethos, in general. I toured the Toyota Tundra plant here in Texas after I got my last contract with them, and it was such an eye-opening experience. Their assembly line has this thing called an “Andon Cable” and it’s basically this long rope that stretches the entire…

I just saw this as two bros standing next to each other, facing opposite directions as some sort of dramatic, “I’m going to say what I gotta say, but can’t look at you while I say it” moment and moved on. I’m surprised so many people saw it as anything other than that.

I’m curious but not “watch a 30 minute video” curious. Someone give me the highlights/rankings please? 

Only slightly less than half of it. Unfortunately, that half lives in places that give them extra leverage in Congress.

At least Nebraska and Iowa will be safe with their limitless supply of corn cobs.

I could maybe see there being some reverse logic where it becomes more profitable for companies to ship TP overseas to make more money, resulting in a shortage here.

Wow, I guess direct sales really is better than franchised dealerships...

Ultimately, it’s another depressing development in an already depressing saga, and it’s hard to find a positive takeaway.
