I was figuring it was something like that. I can actually understand being irritated by a high traffic building next door. It’s just that decent, reasonable people would respond by talking to their neighbors and mutually figuring out if there’s anything that can be done by either party to make the situation better for…

That driveway has a street sign so its a publicly owned road. they should just start complaining about the street traffic and sue the state at this point.

Were they driving on a parkway and parking on a driveway? That would piss me off, too.

They are boxed in by industrial chicken coops on both sides and they complain about the guy with a garage.

Hah, good point. That said, if I was considering a car in any of those markets/demographics, it wouldn’t be any of those listed. The competition is better, by far.

I get it if a lot of quality issues crop up - but a lot of these complaints are things like “accelerates poorly,” “cannot adjust seats properly,” “doesn’t have any power,” “entry/exit very uncomfortable.”

Love the primer’d Saturn and typical Grand Prix.

“Why don’t these miserable fuckers just move somewhere where they’d be happier, like maybe deep inside the rectum of the giant, seething beast that is their own feckless rage and intolerance?”

It seems to me it is no longer “operable” as a road going car.

Yup. Professional gamers are basically professional athletes, just that the physical aspect is partly replaced by other points of emphasis.

I’m not sure that’s exactly correct if you normalize for the “average” person who participates in eSports at a level where they could produce income against the average salary of a practicing engineer. That is, the risk-reward of perusing a career in eSports is very high on both accounts, so those that do make it do…

The article and issue at hand is how a dumbass in a Mustang hit this guy’s new car. Not about the eventuality of a young owner destroying his R8.

It wasn’t direct but implied.

Yes, jealousy is a bitch.

Life is wonderful when you aren’t under a rock.

Man, I’d be crying too if my old ass, high mileage, worth nothing daily driver was destroyed like that. This is an automotive blog where people pour their hearts and souls into their vehicles. Some people become incredibly emotionally invested into their vehicles, even if it’s worth nothing to the next guy. I don’t…

Professional gaming elicits this response but I have a feeling you’re fine with baseball players making millions. What is the real difference?

I guess you missed the part where it said the frame bent, so yeah. Totaled.

Yes. And these guys don’t make the most cash. The last Dota 2 tournament had a prize pool of over $20 million. Over $9 million to the first place team (of 5 players + organization). This is not including whatever the players earn on salary and through sponsorships, streaming, etc.

it pays out big time
