God, the Tuscan speed six in iridescent purple in Gran Turismo 3 combined with The Fast and the Furious were the birth of my car obsession.

I know right? It’s almost as if by villifying unions for half a century (or century) we’ve encouraged villains to rise in their ranks. And then we blame the adaptation on them...

Well, that spiraled out of control.

Libby, this is a fantastic article and I am glad your mother is doing better. I also find my self falling into professional analysis when life happens. While it can be a tad annoying to my wife, it’s helped me to better understand my profession and the world (I’m a political scientist/Comparative poltical economist)

The supra really has one job. Anyone (alright, any billion dollar automotive multinational conglomerate) can build a fast and competent sports car. The supra has to look good doing it. That’s the bar. Fast AND look good doing it. Fast is Meh, but neccessary. Look good doing it is all.

Yeah, I can’t see much point in a non-plugin hybrid these days. It’s just such a simple addition to a $25k purchase. And it means you can get next to infinite mpg if you commute less than the e-range.

Airbags, atleast by federal law....

God I fell hard for these when I was maybe 17.

I grew up in Texas. This take is largely CORRECT.

Not that you are the only one who has used the phrase or that you are using it unironically, but I’ve always thought that the fact that it could be locker room banter is part of the problem. It’s (sorry) like Rosanne only claiming to be racist when she’s on ambien. Never mind that it’s untrue, the idea that it should…

I know you pivot after the first sentence, but I’d like add that Westworld has flashier but ultimately shallower ideas. Westworld is what happens when our toys go spectacularly wrong (right?) due to our own arrogance and depravity. Humans is what happens when the extraordinary becomes mundane and begins to change the…

I still can’t get a good answer from the interwebs about why AMC is 3 weeks delayed from the Channel 4 showing of each episode. Dramatically better than the 4 month delay of previous seasons, but still a silly choice.

While strange to read, this is actually a fantastic way to write a regulation. Rather than mandate a solution, they mandate a standard and allow (and encourage) innovation which meets that standard. It’s known as performance based regulation.

Now, this may be urban legend or it may not (would love an investigative article, @Jason Torchinsky).

Your subjective dislike of subjective data is objectively subjective and thus subjectively irrelevant to people who objectively care about subjective assessments of subjective components of a car which objectively are difficulto or impossible to meaningfully objectively test.

The first rule of knockoffs is you don’t [get to] resell knockoffs. Sheesh!

I added the standard model backup camera to my 95 240sx and God I love it for tight city parking spaces.

How is this any more or less “serious” then other rap beefs?

Manual transmissions are better for driving, used to get better fuel economy, and now are an in group marker.
