This must be a real paradigm shift at altitude.

Forget the range, torque, and crab walk. This is an EV with real, usable BUTTONS! That’s the real killer app in this.

OK, I want the shit out of this. Six grand for an electric all-terrain motorcycle that can do 60mph and travel 100 miles? Sign me right the fuck up. I never even knew I wanted something like this but I’m already saving money for it. Something like this would be incredible for trips into the backcountry, where you want…

I blame Snake Plissken!

Because when the shit hits the fan, you have more payment flexibility. Because used car financing is not that cheap.
Because investment returns are not guaranteed, but interest avoidance is. Because jobs aren’t forever. Because being able to sleep at night has value. Shall I go on?

Holy fuck Mr. Gladiator-Guy. Who the hell thought $650 a month for a lease was a good deal? And how the hell are you still paying $452 a month with three years left on a five year old Miata.

I’ll never understand how imitation suede became a luxury item.

I will never understand the appeal of alcantara. Proper leather or cloth. That’s it.

Or better yet throw it in the trash where it belongs.

I thought about posting that version since it’s WAAAAY better than the current car, but an aftermarket solution will always be second rate compared to Aston actually fixing their design.

This is the right idea. Fixes almost all the car’s styling issues, makes it loads classier:

The interior of this thing (touched upon in that Road and Track Instagram post you linked to) is truly hideous. You don’t go full alcantara- it makes the interior look like it is covered in rat fur. Use it for accent.

Came for this. Such a good album.

Obligatory.

In a straight line 1/4 of a mile at a time only

[raises hand slowly] Um, those turbo intakes look dicey as hell.

I not only bought a joystick specifically to play TIE Fighter, when I dragged that (serial-to-USB converted) joystick out a decade later to play it again and found it didn’t play nicely with Windows 10, I...went ahead and played the game with mouse and keyboard anyway because it’s just that good.

I bought a joystick for TIE Fighter. It was totally worth it.
I will admit to being kind of annoyed by the OP TIE Defender and such in the later missions, but when you were a speedy but frail TIE Fighter speeding around....  Amazing.

I don’t know about the rest of them, but the Balance of Power expansion campaign for X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter is critically underrated. The story they told was really excellent, especially from the Alliance side: Slowly whittling down a fleet headed by a Super Star Destroyer, drawing off support, capturing interdictor…
