My thought was “Of course not, only when they aren’t white.”

Basically in the early 20th Century the elites of St. Louis wanted nothing to do with the country bumpkins of the county, so they broke the city away. Now, the white folks in the county don’t want to take on St. Louis city’s problems* so they won’t reintegrate. It’s supremely stupid on all counts.

Came looking for this, leaving satisfied.

I just recently started reading the manga that the movie was based on and the movie is lacking so much of the story and world building. I realize that this is mostly due to the fact that the manga wasn’t anywhere near finished when the movie was made and partially due to the fact that movies tend to be limited in…

This seems to be a fairly common German car thing. My JSW gets it’s best mileage around 72ish and my old BMW 550 seemed to be happiest around 85 but best mileage was only around 25 mpg.

Part of me want’s to say something like “I never have that problem with your wife.” but that would be immature and a dick move. So instead, I feel sorry for you if this is the case.

There you go bringing logic to the interweb argument.

As long as it has an ICE it will both suck and blow with a little squeezing and banging thrown in for good measure.

He pretty much had the same opinion. He loved old cars but saw good sense in replacing the unreliable with the new. He wanted a restomod ‘69 Camaro. Leave it looking stock but be fully modern under the skin. I tend to agree with this view as well. My tastes lean more towards Europe but an old BMW Bavaria with the heart…

I want to marry this tweet.

Now I need to buy a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of wine and some cigars. How did you know that three of this white boy’s main weaknesses are alcohol, cigars, and supporting minority owned and operated businesses.

Neutral: I don’t generally consider it as part of my purchasing descisons. But for whatever reason my choices tend to coincide with good safety ratings on cars. The trucks I’ve had over the years tend to be a bit more dubious.

Recent experiences with rental cars in the same class.

*ever heard

This is the only place I’ve everheard a complaint against the Armada/QX80 in the power department. Would a Tahoe with the 6.2 be faster? Sure, but Nissan’s offering is no slouch.

I point you to my father’s comment about Vinyl vs. CDs (and later digital music), “Why the hell would I want to listen to popping and hissing? I want to hear the music, not distortion.”

We live in an echo chamber here. It’s at the same time a safe space for enthusists and the thing that keeps us completely out of touch with the majority of the public.

I agree with you. Instead of car shows and the like, Jalopnik should be going to vintage races, above and beyond the Monterrey Historics.

I think you’re proving his point, not disproving it.

Honestly, now I’m more inclined to wear a tie. Thinking of it as a wearable napkin/hankercheif is much better than an inefficient noose.
