I think the heartburn around the kidney grilles really comes from the grille size. The new grille is crazy big for what it currently provides in terms of cooling capacity. But that’s what I love about BMW and why I purchased one (and, later, stocks in the company). They take design moonshots in so many places. The…

I had no idea you could catch it via Tweet. I really need to avoid social media now.

Autonomous vehicles are dead to me until I can do my paperwork in the work van as it drives me home from the jobsite. In all seriousness though, commercial vehicles should be among the first to get actual Level 5 autonomy (if that ever comes to fruition, which I kinda doubt—too many edge cases) because there’s a solid…

I’ll say this much. I’m not taking an autonomous car as long as I have the choice to drive. 

Amazing that nobody was reprimanded for viewing porn at work.

“The story, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, said contingency plans at Nissan focus on boredom, CVTs, floating roofs, sameness, and general awfulness.”

The lady I’m crushing on said “there are some movies I’d like to see.”

Think of how many people you’ll be able to take out at a Cars & Coffee...

And that Title X funding is going to fake clinics that lie to women to keep them pregnant even if they don’t want to be. It’s fifteen shades of fucked up.

I think the operator literally just stood on the brakes; you can see where the guy with the fire extinguisher walked around to the other side of the car and shot the right brake once. I doubt he’d do that if the right brake wasn’t glowing.

The fellow in the driver’s seat felt something break, and stood on the brakes. Rear brakes are not designed to stop the inertia of a dyno roller.

A car sitting in a garage makes 0 horsepower.

Imagine for a moment being a young boy (or amab) and you want to fit into the male crowd at your school. If you request consent before they begin their inevitable hazing rituals, you will look “weak” and be feminized.

In my experience as a non binary AMAB, the part of traditional dominant masculinity nobody seems to talk about involves this: Imagine for a moment being a young boy (or amab) and you want to fit into the male crowd at your school. If you request consent before they begin their inevitable hazing rituals, you will look…

On the other hand, he owns a known high-maintenance BMW, so he can’t be all THAT smart can he?

Good! A Lamborghini that looks like a Lamborghini. This is just my opinion, but the Gallardo and Huracan are both far too boring-looking to pique my interest. They’re no more interesting than an R8, possibly even less so. This car looks extreme, which is exactly how a Lamborghini should look.

How do you think I practiced for this...

Thumbs into the eyes works too - I blinded my attempted rapist 20 years ago when I was just 19 - he was focused only on pinning my body and forgot about my hands .. I didn’t make the mistake of trying to punch him in the head because that would’ve forced him to protect his head.. first thing I did without hesitation…

Hmm. Good idea to call it circumstance, I may use that in discussion.

At this point, I’ve stopped using the word “privilege” with White people and with other men because they deliberately misinterpret it as a way of dodging the conversation and I now use “circumstance” instead.
