There's a shitload of cheap RX8s out there waiting for this opportunity. Great chassis by all accounts but I'm seeing them for a couple of thousand these days.

A picture of Akio Toyoda during development:

At least Mercedes said the right thing:

Nice, Lewis! You are the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time so use that position for change. If people don’t like that, they can go fuck their conservative, racist, twinkerbelle asses. Tough shit, eh, republicans?

Despite their love for the 2nd Amendment as a “defense against tyranny,” they’re obviously perfectly OK with a tyrant so long as they think the tyrant is on their side.

Having grown up around recreational boating I can say without a doubt that 90% of boat owners are not qualified to operate their boats, let alone own them. 

Because the shuttle was a really good idea, after all - expensive, extremely hard to maintain, marginal safety rating, no way of really aborting a failed launch, complex... Yeah, that’s the idea. Gliders have problems.

To quote SpaceX’s Kate Tice: “Maybe we shouldn’t announce our splashdown location next time.”

hey, its a helluva lot better than the C-HR. I don’t know why Toyota still thinks people in the US want funky Scion designs for their affordable small vehicles. I would welcome this over the C-HR in a heartbeat.

To me, this looks like an modern Toyota Matrix.   If given that it’s based on the Corolla like the Matrix, if they offer it with a manual, then I don’t care what they call it... it’s basically a new Matrix.

Tagging on to this. I use an a6300 for about 75% photo 25% video for work. The 16-50mm lens is a good general use workhorse for the majority of uses. With their E-Mount to A-Mount lens adapter, you can use a larger range of lenses as well. I have found that a 35mm or 50mm lens is handy for simple video solutions.

If there’s no manual, it’s not a hot hatch. Look at all the “competition” listed here. Clutches down the line. A hot hatch is supposed to provide a certain experience. The car is probably fine and fast and whatever, but it’s not in the same category as the others.
