Actually, as a Californian, I find Laguna Seca times much more relevant to my life than Nürburgring times.

But I’d rather have a Taycan than a Model 3.

“Pointless charging gimmick”

Considering Apple led the charge to kill wired headphones; this isn’t pointless. 

The more I look at this thing, the less I like it.

Frozen Reese’s are great; you must be confused.

Freezing Sour Patch Watermelons is also great.  So is torching them for a second.

I looks like they gave that new Acura concept a paint job and rhinoplasty. 

In the Kinja notification panel, it just had your comment and I was wondering where the “7-11 Burrito” came from.  That’s actually hilarious with the picture.

Where do you even park something like that?  This takes the space of about 8 parking spots.

I actually agree; I also like to put my windows down when its hot out and crank the AC. I think the comfort is in the temperature difference above all else.

Its nice to sit by a fire in the cold.

“Don’t apologise for shit Hogan.”

Fuck I thought I fell into the hulk hogan debacle for a second. 

Tesla claims its drivetrain has “fewer than 20" moving parts.

“The word ‘turbine’ was coined in 1822 by the French mining engineer Claude Burdin from the Latin turbo, or vortex

“Turbo” definitely came before “turbocharger”.

Oh yeah, if it uses that N it will be pretty sneaky.

But you’ve exposed the trick.

Sounds like Matt has been smoking something besides tires lately.

And $1600 for an HVAC delete.

“what else about this car are they completely idioting up?”

Fucking blue letters. This isn’t a goddamn Fleetwood Mac song. 

They still use Turbo as a trim term on the 911, even though the non-”Turbo” 911 has a turbo now.” 

Still won’t make sense for the Taycan, but I was thinking the new 911 Turbo should be an electrified hybrid.

Taycan turbo should have an actual F1 style KER system or even the mechanical flywheel from the 918 protype;

That may have just overtaken “the Judge” as my favorite model name.

O...P....E.... shit, no N.

“You can get the headlights in a more-blue hue if you’d like. It’s a $580 option according to the configurator. It kind of matches the blue “Porsche” text on the rear of the car. I dig it.”

Fuck that. If I was able to buy this car, I would not want blue hue anything. That blue Porsche script better not be the default.
