It is a joke to him. Whatever fine or minimal punishment he’ll receive will be a drop in the bucket/minor inconvenience. He can afford any fine, has a few hours between shows to kill for community service (which will be scheduled at his convenience), and I 100% expect them to accommodate his concert because “his fans…

“which, unlike the Patriots’ stadium, is actually in Boston” Why would the Patriots have to be in Boston? They’re not the Boston Patriots. They could be in New Haven, or Burlington, and still be in New England.

As a provided of unique skilled labor, I would punish him by extracting value. Make him play a concert for national guardsmen or something. It’s not like taking his money or driving privileges will hurt him, but time is the one thing the 1% can’t buy more of.

Surely they can’t be Sirius.

People are going to lose interest in this thing by the time it comes out. I already lost mine. The interior looks incredibly basic and overall doesn’t look very practical without a flat floor. 

Everybody gets old unless they die early. And it happens fast. You’ll be old before you know it. There will be 20-something year old children shitting all over the things you enjoy. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

I don’t mind the touchscreens and most of the tech. But for the most part the newer cars just aren’t as fun. The idea of being ‘at one’ with the vehicle is most appealing to me. But newer cars often fall at the other end of the spectrum. With all these safety systems and features beeping or blinking or tugging at the…

I like cars a bit older than “a couple” years old. How about 7-12 years old? (I’m not into “connected” cars at all):

The touch screen fad is the biggest problem I have with new cars.

If we’re talking new, I’ve owned a few Suburbans, Audi’s, VWs, my wife currently has a new BMW—we buy to own rather than lease.

I strongly prefer the Mk7 Golfs to the Mk8s. Physical buttons, analog dials, and a suitably-sized screen that knows it belongs in the center stack instead of pretending to be a MacBook Pro open for a Zoom session. An elegant “R” or “GTI” badge down on the left of the hatch, where history requires it. I’m going to have…

Can we implement a new rule on Jalopnik that whenever you write about a car that isn’t going to be available in the US, you state that upfront? I was already pulling out my checkbook by the time I got to the bottom and you crushed my little heart.

Doesn’t fit neatly into the single role of a traditional car or a boat. “Traditional” cars don’t float. “Traditional” boats don’t roll on roads. This does both. Definitely a non-binary vehicle.

I’m not buying another electric car (wife has a model 3) until the low-speed noise is the sound of gravel crunching under car tires.

I live in the Columbia River Gorge and have some truly fabulous drives. I drive purely for the enjoyment of it. Here’s one of my early-Sunday-morning favorites. For a road like this, a Miata or a older water-cooled base 911 are going to tremendously engaging, because you are never going to see much top-end anyway.
