That’s how I felt about the GSX-R 1100 I owned. I kept it maybe 6 months before I begged to give it back to the guy I’d traded my Hawk GT straight up to. It was fast in a completely useless way. The damn thing redlined in first gear at 80mph. The next four gears just get your license suspended.

Exactly. People who use traffic as an excuse probably didn’t want a stickshift anyway.

Yep. I don’t think he knows what traffic is if there’s some magic winding road right there that all these idiots(!) aren’t taking.

Counter-counter-counterpoint: If there’s some magical windy road with no traffic during rush hour that will get you to work just fine, you don’t live somewhere with real traffic.

Unless the guy is completely insane, there’s no way he’d make that up. He’s just the right level of insane to mention it in the ad.

You lucky bastard. My dad gave me a car to guilt trip me into “keeping it in the family” and it’s a 2000 Cadillac Eldorado that the moment I inserted the key began a year-long self-destruct sequence.

Yeah no kidding. Before I replaced the rear springs my E34 had a quarter of that camber and the rear tires lasted about 5,000 miles (or should I say the innermost 3" of tread did) and it handled like shit.

He’s an equal photo opportunity legislator, and an NFL fan. He’s on TV just like them, so hey, they’re all famous. The only difference is he really hopes nobody’s watching whenever he does his job. 

This should be retitled “Paul Ryan stages hasty photo with NFL players before they recognize him.”

Your response to me saying you don’t know if it’s true is to say “I do” then your very next statement is a Sherlock Holmes act of speculation proposed as some absolute truth.

I agree with most of what you wrote, but for how speculative that all was it sure turned cocky at the end.

Oh don’t worry they still don’t have one. Dachshund means “badger dog.” They were bred literally to hunt and kill badgers in their dens.

I was saying that in lieu of a law prohibiting this, it is legal.

it isn’t causing a decrease in property values.

Oh God he didn’t write “doth” or “darth” did he?

To answer your first b) It comes from a list of metaphors. Here’s the decoder when applied to GOP actions: “Individual liberty” = guns and privatization. “Personal responsibility” = destroy social security and medicare. “The rule of law” = imprison more (usually black) people.

And they’re so mad about these things that don’t exist that they vote. And this is how we get a president Trump.

Counterpoint: He should check the water wheel.

I pointed out your weak argument technique and your witty response is to do the exact same thing again?

I just realized that if they made “The Fast and the Furious”, but with motorcycles, it would ruin motorcycles forever.
