The governors seem to equate an increased number of migrants seeking entry to “cartels, and drugs smugglers, and human traffickers” despite offering no supporting proof that such activities have increased.

I am wrong on this.  Volvo Penta bought Seven Marine not Yamaha.  Still feels like and under the table agreement as Volvo Penta and Mercruiser are still competitor in the sterndrive market. 

Someone else pointed out I was wrong (but I can’t find their post other than in my notifications); Volvo Penta not Yamaha bought them. 

When you’ve dedicated a large percentage of your life to a certain career it is hard to just up and switch.

Looking at the responses, I suppose I did. But I genuinely didn’t think it’d be necessary.

What sucks is that those cops that can recognize that their nerves are frayed or are starting to have PTSD or other mental/emotional effects from their job are not always given the proper outlet to retire early and leave the force.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Now will all white people pay attention?

I know.  That’s precisely why it’s lame.  Boats are already cool without AMG. 

Seven Marine, who put the LS9 in an outboard, is no longer. Yamaha bought them then shut them down. My hunch is because of some form of illegal/under the table agreement with Mercury Marine because they just debuted what would have been it’s competitor; a 600hp V12 outboard. Mercury and Seven Marine are/were both…

Because you understanding of marine engines is flawed. 

I guess it depends how you view AMG.  I view AMG as an engineering/tuning arm. AMG probably hasn’t touched this boat and they shouldn’t.  I don’t want mercedes engineering “prowess” on the water. 

These collaborations are lame.  Nothing on that boat has anything to do with AMG other than the letters.  

The fact that the 2.0 (A K20) is coming in a manual

I’m sorry but that Mazda 3 is heinous. 

They pair the 10sp auto with the Accord 2.0t...That would be kinda neat.

No one said it didn’t drive well. But I sure as shit am not going from my Focus ST to a Civic Si simply based on power and Type R based on price. Therefore, Honda has no car for me while making two performance variants.

I was looking into them under the idea I’d just tune the ECU for more power, well, Hondata says the clutch slips after the tune. So it seems with the Si, Honda is treading the line of adding power and not much else.  

Firs thoughts: I don’t hate it. I think it will grow on me.

Marketing is a weirdly effective drug. 

I think we’d all get a long better if we just called these CUVs what they really are; station wagons.
