It’s not “race-baiting” to point out that black men are far more likely to be shot by cops in tense situations than white men. It’s simply fact.

No. Get it right. It’s/its is fundamental.

Good God man, “it’s”?

The Reliant Robin was an outlier, and not to be considered in the pantheon of mainstream British cars of the era.

Yes I was actually in the process of writing something about dropped “aitches” having gone significantly downmarket, but thought better of it as too technical/in the weeds.

“An historic” is not purely a mistake. It used to be correct usage, at least in British English, because upper class English people would pronounce “hotel” as ’otel so they would stay in an hotel. Ditto for ’istoric. It’s somewhat anachronistic at this point, but it does have historical legitimacy, at least.

I have a new car with an infotainment screen and it does precisely none of this.

Yeah there’s a cult of pickups in the US.

Step vans for USPS/UPS/FedEx.

Flex with EB has the same horsepower as a Macan S.

My kingdom for a petrol station sausage roll.

This. The Bose ICE in my C5 A6 Avant was terrible, so I ripped it out and had a Clarion system and speakers installed to replace it. I had an 8" subwoofer fiberglassed into the well where the CD changer had lived in the trunk. Sounded wonderful and other than the head unit looked totally stock.

Duck?

All these years (like, 40 since I first heard of them) I didn’t know they were named after someone. I thought they were just called that cause they look like the moon. 

No. There is no such thing as an “ordinary” aluminum-bodied 356. Only the first 50 or so 356s were aluminum. They’re referred to as “prototypes,” and are exceptionally rare.

I do, and I’m literate for a living. Hip-hop, popular culture, and emergent media are very much part of my beat, plus he’s actually not bad from a creative standpoint, considering how fucking terrible some of his peers are.

To be clear, I mean the racist dummies who can’t punctuate for shit as well as everything else.

Great news! Glad to hear of a dealership doing the very right thing, for once.

That’s good in every way.

If I owned this I would only permit Wagner to be played.
