I’m not sure that I agree with the immigration angle. I’m not an anti-immigrant Trumpette, but I don’t necessarily think that should count as NATO spending. It’s not defense spending. Spending on beefing up border controls and methods to assess immigrants as they come seems reasonable to count because it…

I disagreed with you a lot in the Gawker days, but then you would always drop a really self-aware quality article in there. Good on ya.

Since everyone asks when I tell this story I’ll say it in advance: yes this really happened.

I bought a used Grand Cherokee that I specifically bought to not detail and keep super clean. After several typical Jeep failures/issues I wasn’t mean to it, but I certainly saw it as a beater...

I had a 4th gen Maxima back in the day. Not a fast car but it had 235 summer tires and suspension, so it had WAY more grip than it ever had speed. SUV was tailgating me and I did exactly the same thing...maintained the speed limit right through the exit. No crash, but definitely some tire smoke!

I saw him speak at a security conference a while ago. I rolled my eyes at his comments on American exceptionalism, but overall I found him to be a pretty thoughtful and interesting guy. He has some quotes out there that are a little scary, but I don’t think that reflects on how he would approach this type of role. …

Yea, I thought these cars went for way less than this one is!

Put this thing at $25k or so and I might be in!

Disclaimer - this is not a meaningful comment in line with how deep the article goes. Women definitely have their work cut out for them in Trump’s America, as do a lot of people who aren’t straight white males. Our society is way more fucked up than a lot of us realized.

I’m not claiming this was true in your…

Not a Trump supporter at all, but this strikes me as trying to find another thing about him to whine about. The F35 program is fucked and, honestly, as much as we are already in to it, it might be better for America over the long term to show defense contractors that they need to produce results and not just…

Wow, impressive stuff. I’m amazed that you got shallow DOF at that focal length only at F2. The processing is excellent as well.

What *camera* were these shot with. My god! Whatever it was had a really bitchin super fast 50mm equiv. attached to it. Holy moly.

I drive a Toyota FJ. All of these cars appear to have amazing rear visibility to me!

Someone actually monitoring what’s happening behind them? That seems unpossible.

The answer to this question is obvious. It’s the Pontiac G8.

Totally agree. I want to see one of these things cope in Boston where lane markings are considered a luxury (and, at times, undesirable), where the road is all torn up and bumpy, where there may or may not be curbs, etc.

I’ve had some hard stops at places like this, it’s a very dangerous setup. Honestly, I think part of what contributed to this situation is the person with the dash cam stopping way before the person was ready to cross. People try to be overly polite and it leads to situations where the person in the other lane may…

Having bought a lightly used STi that sat on the lot for more than a year before I bought it, I know that premium Subie vehicles do hold their value pretty well. $17k for a 95k mile car is ridiculous, though. It’s worth more than your average car with 95k, but not 17 grand.

People don’t, “mull around” either. They might mill around while they mull things over, but why know how to use the English language properly if you’re going to be a writer?

I mostly agree with you, but I think the retarded ultra-cambered wheels may be a legitimate concern for other motorists. For the other stuff, it’s their business if they want to ruin their cars.

It’s funny to me that people are getting worked up about this. What do they think is going to be in there that is going to change anyone’s mind? Trump is a shiesty, mediocre business man with multiple bankruptcies to his credit, and a history of using eminent domain to steal people’s property for private ventures.
