It was a great piece. Also a problem with the way history is taught is how we center white people and institutions as solving America’s racial injustices. Shit like “Lincoln freed the slaves” and “the Supreme Court ended segregation in schools.

That’s the spirit!

It is either that or a fleet of 20 something douche nozzles on crotch rockets splitting traffic at 90 mph. Maybe it is just something about motorcycles that attract a certain kind of asshole.

For everyone who went on Jalopnik freaking out about the 997.1's bore scoring and non-serviceable ims I owe them thanks. It kept the prices so low they were almost the same as a 996 (demuro’s fault)

Honestly if it wasn’t for the fake hood scoop, I’d kinda like it. It’s a truck that can tow literally tens of pounds!

I don’t expect anyone to know this, but before I quit my desk job to write about cars for a living I sold Porsche parts over the telephone and online for a decade. I worked at Stoddard, Auto Atlanta, and ECS Tuning (which is under the same umbrella as Pelican now). I’m very familiar with the Sebros, ATEs, Zimmermans,…

I don’t always agree with you, but I’ve driven a couple Boxsters and they are so nice. Great balance, good go. The engine is smooth and it doesn’t set your teeth on edge when you’re pressing it or highway cruising like an I4. And it makes that fantastic, growly, trumpety noise. If you want to drive purely for the joy…

Boxster is a better Miata. There, I said it. 

That’s a lot of work for only 250 horsepower...

Wait until you own property.

He swears that he was only looking for a British national television website.

I echo Lt. Col. Harvey’s exact sentiments. I don’t want their legacy to potentially be sullied by a team that isn’t very good. Even if they were good, they won’t always be.

All old things are not interesting. 

im sure ill get shitted on for this but ill take the risk. The days of great american manufacturers producing everything is gone. We only have 3 companies left that make american cars. If all 3 divested, where are cars coming from? Honda cruisers? Kia police vans? it would be yet another thing imported and every damn…

Counterpoint:

Thanks to Gary Larson, I will forever write CAT FUD on my shopping lists...

Oh, yeah. That’s how you know it’s Snob City in the South. Those fucking things are EVERYWHERE. I remember thinking, “You know, there’s probably some nice folks living there, but I couldn’t EVER live someplace called ‘Plantation’.”

If they run and drive, they are worth at least 2k each

Here’s the deal with that - the people (mostly men I’m assuming) who want luxurious trucks don’t want a luxury badge because it’s not “manly” enough. So as a result you have $80k high end trim levels on very common half ton pickups which these same people are happy to buy.

“This is why you people get shot.”
