I did not expect to start my work day reading an advertisement for a Lincoln Continental but here we are. My dad traded his Taurus SHO for a V8 Lincoln LS back in 2000 and was so excited to be driving a black Lincoln - he definitely would’ve tracked it in his younger days. I really thought that LS was going to be the…

I’m skeptical these will enjoy such markups. There are several 911R’s available for under $300k - representing some markup vs. retail but only 991 were built (half as many as this Speedster). As far as rare but “unlimited” production models go: Rennlist has seen plenty of GT3 Tourings for small markups, and cars.com…

Yeah, this is a great middle finger to don. “Airplanes? Nah we got fuckin’ robots.” 

I would imagine the police could use a robot like this disperse rioting crowds

Same. I am the demographic for this thing: the guy who has put BFG All Terrains on all of my vehicles despite taking them off-pavement almost never. Now I need a 3rd row and can’t afford a new Land Cruiser. 

Not to have too much of a gambler’s mentality about Avenatti, but: I wonder if he would’ve gotten away with it all if he could’ve kept the scheme going another 6 months. All these TV appearances surely drummed up his injury business.

The MPRE is the one test I failed. I think I was too cautious. Along those lines, my only career mantra is: don’t do anything to get disbarred. 

With government contracts, $11Bn is only like 3 new city buses. 

Make every boomer pass the US Citizenship test before making a political post on Facebook. 

So did he ever repair the relationship with his kids or nah? 

I learned very recently that the R129 could be had with a back seat! What a great family car. 

People who have public platforms and hundreds of thousands of fans AND ALSO believe global warming is a hoax should be shouted down by everyone at all times. Browbeaten into shutting up. Their noses rubbed in their own stupidity. 

That theory falls apart with Bomani’s parting line.

I’m already annoyed that the Porsche 992 I won’t be able to afford for a decade has these dumb flush handles. 

The Omegas at LSU were well known to beat the shit out of their pledges. But they got those cool brands so I guess it evens out.*

You Gizmodo writers need to cool out. Between you, Drew, and Andrew Collins y’all have had a rough year. Glad all are recovering.

now make it lighter

In high school I remember reading about their decision to move to alphanumeric and thinking it was dumb as shit. (My dad had just bought a Lincoln LS). The brains behind the move was quoted as saying he didn’t want people to think of the model name, he wanted everyone to say “that’s a Lincoln.” At the time the…

I saw Common having the same experience at DFW. My only thought was: how does an airline know to assign someone to a celeb? Common surely booked his ticket using some variation of Lonnie Corant Jaman Shuka Rashid Lynn. And what’s the threshold for who gets a liaison?  

Porsche is dead to me for dangling out the possibility of houndstooth seats in a Cayenne, only to pair it with the $14,000 “Lightweight Sport” package that foists those gaudy 22" wheels upon you with no substitutions. (not really I still want the new regular Cayenne).
