TIL “racism” is whatever I want it to be, so that I can belittle and degrade people based on my false sense of moral superiority, rather than a specific term with a specific meaning.

You said it! I bought my FoST as my reward for landing my job as an engineer. I want to stay in a compact sports sedan for the foreseeable future, and I feel like the FoST is a sporty and nice enough car (especially in st3 trim) that I don’t really need to look at the 3 series or C series any time soon.

I bit. 2017 FoST st3 with all leather Recaros and sync3. I love it, and I would have bought another in four or five more years. Now it’s going to be a CTR or a GTI or something because America doesn’t make my car anymore :( 

Confirmed. I personally bought a 2017 Focus ST (which I love) because Honda was trying to charge me $10k over MSRP for a CTR. Fully loaded with leather and sync3.

So people who buy Demons and Hellcats are inexperienced, but all of the people scooping up the Model S are professional drag racers with hundreds of hours behind the wheel of a ten second car?

So a car with all the power necessary to go just as fast, that wasn’t actually designed to be stable and controllable under that type of acceleration the way a car designed around drag racing is, is safer than the car that was designed around drag racing.

This exactly. Dude loses all credibility when he makes an argument like this based on “Well that car is more expensive”.

Never trust an opinion piece that denies the opposing side the ability to describe their own opinions and goals.

YEEEAAAAHHHHH!

starts tomorrow?

I did my part. 2017 Ford Focus ST3. 29k worth of stick shifting leather Recaro-ey magical sweetnez.

I don’t respond to witty comments.

I think there is a pretty good point to be had about seeing entertainment that features people you can identify with visually in STEM roles.

Flying cars will almost certainly be fully automated when they do get here.

Automation has already made driving a regular car more asshat resistant with antilock brakes, traction control, and more recently braking and steering assists. Aircraft had autopilot before cars ever thought about it, and those systems are quite safe by comparison by virtue of being much more mature technology.

Am I the only one noticing the fact that our civil discourse is now so bad, that Godwin’s Law is invoked so often that nobody even thinks it’s weird anymore?

I can’t guarantee that this is the jeep, but I saw a nice looking black jeep like this being towed on a low flatbed behind a midsize dark colored pickup about an hour ago on IH10 headed towards San Antonio.

To be fair, the USA is extremely spread out, with a population density overall that is quite low.

TBH they change so.mich every expansion, that it doesn’t really.matter where you.left off because everyone is starting over anyway.

And you know he will.
