One of MJ’s & Olajuwan’s greatest accomplishments was making sure that those 2 never saw a ring, thus leaving them in the memory of people who watched 90s NBA, because they were incredible on court talents. I loved watching Stockton play and tried to mimic him all the time. The 2004 Pistons, probably the weirdest…

Athletes buying dealerships is pretty common, especially from basically MJ onward. Magic/Bird eventually got more into business, but athletes were still heavily demanding cash until MJ showed just how valuable a brand can be. Most athletes learned that you don’t always want your name tied directly to that business…

I feel like I’ve read multiple times about pop stars who run X hours while singing their sets. By now, I kind of assume that is just how many of them preps for a tour, which kind of makes sense if you need to sing & dance for several hours multiple nights in a row. 

Jetta continues to prove its worth in the VW lineup, outselling the Taos and Atlas Cross Sport. Perhaps this is a sign that the world is realizing how great sedans are again.

I’ve always assumed there was some level of inaccuracy, seeing as a car isn’t just sitting stationary on the wall. Also, weather/temperature in general, is a very dynamic thing across even a small region. Simply going from shade to sun or being an area that blocks the wind versus a wind tunnel can have huge impacts.…

It is appreciated that they did this to a place just storing the inventory instead of going up to people’s homes and doing it. Best to get that vandalism as close to the source as possible. 

I’ve pretty much only ever done cheap auto meet ups, so no experience with the big multi-day conventions and my households aversion to crowds, it will probably stay that way. That said, my favorite car event is the “relaxed local parking lot” where it is just a handful of owners who love their cars and want to share…

Yes and no. There is software involved, but it has gone through an incredible amount of testing & verification. Airline operators are still collecting floppy disks because that is how old the software/hardware is. Much like other car brands, airlines intentionally use old/specialized software/hardware because we all…

I think the only right answer is ESH

That was a big reminder when I went to grocery store yesterday. There is no reason for a Suburban’s hood to be towering over my eyeline when I’m in an Atlas. I know they are giant, but it was a staunch reminder when I parked across from one and saw the hood was taller than me in an also big SUV. Anything with a hood…

You can really sub in any hyper-wealthy & insular organization as the worst, depending on the current news. I’d put the Federalist Society quite high on that list, as they are very detailed & organized in how they want to fuck up the entire country for generations to come. Most other groups just cover up for shitty…

As long as he’s not sitting outside her window, I suppose there are worse things to study. 

Based on that dude’s history around here, I don’t think they are capable of actually caring about anything.

People currently have entire careers that consist of following her and reporting on her 24/7. They are basically legal stalkers that tell everyone where she is and what she is doing at all times. You truly do not understand her level of celebrity and how insane fan bases like her are if you think she could routinely…

As soon as fans figure out which tour bus is hers, the roads would be loaded with swifties following it. It would be like those MAGA RV rallies on steroids because of her mega following. 

I imagine it is an attempt at “you can’t sue us if it bursts into flames because we said to stop driving it” or something like that. 

Kind of funny how this feels like a minimalistic interior relative to the modern luxury car with 3 feet of screen space. 

With how much better modern cars have gotten, I bet the list of unreliable 3-year-old cars is shorter than this one. It feels like almost anything less than ~5 years old will be as reliable as the previous owner wanted it to be (even a Toyota can get killed by an owner who ignores all maintenance & recalls).

I was able to get mine shifted to Icon for Hire, because the lead singer has pink hair.

That was also my first thought. I never got to drive one, but I’ve seen many commenters talk about how it handles way better than anyone expects it to, so my assumption is that would make for a better track car. The biggest knocks were always the style & outward visibility, which aren’t nearly as important when you…
