I have a group text with my siblings and mom and the last conversation on there was me sending a picture of a sex toy I found on the sidewalk near my house and my mom saying “I don’t think I needed to see that,” then my brother sending a picture of a toy someone bought for his daughter that looks just like a vibrator.…

Fuck You, lady.

I can’t see anyone in that photo?

Everything’s just coming up shitheads the last few days. 

“Today the US Attorney brings charges against Michael Avana.... Avanti... Avennnot gonna practice law anymore, anyway.”

Kind of a long winded way to call the guy a dick.

Ball told ESPN that he gave his dad the boot because he “used his access to my business and personal finances to enrich himself.”

I dunno, seems to me if you’re looking for a European sport sedan, you can hardly do better than one that says “Eurosport” RIGHT THERE ON THE SIDE! Some people are just impossible to please.

It was pretty bad. I was just imagining the strain on the engine at interstate speeds. Also, after years of driving a car with proper gears, the experience is jarring as you are always expecting a big push from a gear change that never happens. Accelerating and slowing without using the brakes feels weird and…

CVT’s are all crap from a driving experience IMHO. I own one, it’s my wife car, a ‘14 Subaru. I drive it only a couple times of year (besides the obligatory test drive afer an oil changes). It does have paddles which sort of help, it tries to pretend it is a really mushy slow shifting 6 speed auto. Is your wife an…

I hate the one I have to regularly drive. It struggles to find the correct gear, jerks to downshift if it’s held at low RPMs for too long, and will stick above 4,000 RPMs for way too long if you’re on a steep grade. The only way I deal with driving the stupid thing is putting it into manual mode so I can prevent it…

Anecdote, not data, but I dealt with Nissan over a ‘13 Cube regarding the cvt. Corporate swore up & down that the fluid >never< needed to be changed. Absolutely refused to tell us how to check it-even going so far as saying there WAS no way to check it. ‘Lifetime fluid’, they kept saying! ( yes; it IS ‘lifetime fluid’…

Star for referencing the criminally underrated “Gung-Ho”.

I dunno... I have had a base model Ford Focus, a base Nissan Sentra, and a Nissan Juke as rentals. The Juke was by far the best of the three and was still terrible (CVT whining away, turbo lag from hell, cheap/stupid layout). The Chrysler 200 I test drove was just “meh”.

I think an unintended (or maybe it was intended by the bill payers) side effect of advanced metrics is that it has killed the star in baseball. You can look at it as trying to find a market inefficiency, sure, but it also can be looked at like “we don’t want to spend money, let’s find a cheaper option.” It’s weird…

...I like the chrome...

I still don’t understand how there’s a forward-facing third row in the Model Y. Mind you is just a rough mockup, but unless it’s a rumble seat, I just can’t see how it works!

Such a shame. He should have created another opioid derivative and sold it through doctors. That's a okay.
