Lol, Nintendo is a cover band that replays its own old stuff but doesn’t make new ones. Remember when everyone had a fit because the world in the caveman version of Far Cry (Primal I think) was superficially similar to the map of a previous game? Ubisoft is soooo bad! But Nintendo has been re-releasing old crap from…

Let’s be real, both in what JR is and what the good/bad of it is. He’s an ignorant, witty, white, dude-bro guy. He’s an MMA guy. He normalizes lazy though and oversimplification of lots of shit while wrapping it up the traditional white-guy trope. The thought that someone can flaunt responsibility or accountability in…

Follow the money: Who’s the senator where that company is located and what other deal was this process connected to? TBH they should just keep the current fleet for a couple more years and then go entirely electric instead.  The fleet will pay for itself in the money savings.

I don’t think Tesla is above reproach, but I sometimes wonder if Musk stole someone’s gf or parking space or whatever on this website. I would legit not be surprised to see a picture of Elon Musk smiling with the headline “Elon Musk farts in crowd and thinks he’s funny” You guys are so boned up to bitch about Tesla.…

I think this looks much better - not sure if the fender flairs and the stance are part of it but I prefer the redesign.  I think the front of the Z is a dealbreaker.

I feel almost as though the “minivan thing” is about to match the “manual transmission thing.” The answer to every musing here is OBVIOUS. The first reason sales are up, is that a Telluride is impossible to find at retail price and used ones are even worse. The Carnival is more likely to be around and is, broadly,…

Time will tell when the first wrongful death/ property loss / kidnapping / sexual assault lawsuit is filed against Apple. Supposedly a phone will alert you if one is in your immediate area for an extended period of time but that makes me feel about as safe as a beeper that alerts me to a shark in the waters near where…

We are turning into a 3rd world country, one county at a time.

The PC version of the game is wonderful.  I played it on a laptop with a 2080 and a desktop with a 3080 so I got to see the game at its most attractive. The gameplay was good, the graphics interesting, and the characters compelling. The console versions were hot garbage and they should have sat on the game for a year…

Full disclosure: I have a Model 3 Performance as a 2nd car for day trips with my kids. It’s like a high tech muscle car with a giant sunroof and virtually no running costs.

is this now automotive everyone-gets-a-participation-trophy?

I think they are mad because the Integra had its own niche, and was not just a lightly warmed-over SI civic. It was buzzy, lightweight, quick handling and fast-ish.  So it had a niche.  This is a verrrrrrry mainstream car with a name that used to stand for silly but fun

Here’s my list:

Gucci is a euphemism for shallow asshole. 

I mean, they are sold out until Easter on most of their cars (last time I checked). I was weighing either an Model 3 Performance or a ZL1 to zip my kids around for fun drives. Most Chevy dealers wanted a 10k markup on their car so it was like 70-80k for a Camaro. I got my Tesla before the price increases of the last…

to me the Firebird is a very nice overall shape that’s a bit spoiled by cheap 90s manufacturing tolerances and an old platform that meant a wheelbase that’s looks a bit to short.

No one at all needs to make an ICE GT car.  Those cars will almost certainly completely cease to exist in a decade and will see almost no improvements in the interim.  The car they need is a really cool electric SUV and a way to charge it that doesn’t make the owner wish he/she had bought a Tesla.  Very few people…

Sorry I didn’t make the video of me scolding police for camping out at a stop sign on the middle of a road where there is little traffic and no kids play... at 9:45 at night because I didn’t come to a complete stop. But I did. I asked them why they never police the street where I live that people drive 60 on. They let…

Nintendo, swear to God... they are the video game equivalent of the Rolling Stones.  Replaying material that your dad or grandfather liked and charging more than ever.  This sort of lazy homage to the past would be different if the new versions were technically improved, or even cleaned up... AND they made some new…

I think the answer to your questions are pretty clear. This is completely new technology and it has extremely high performance potential. It also hasn’t hit anywhere near the economies of scale to sell at prices that are not very premium. A very basic Model 3 with an extremely simple and if we’re honest, cost…
