To your first sentence, it is :( 

Wasn’t a fan of the movie, but Peele is an impressive director. His use of music, tempo, dialogue, lighting, and anxiety triggering visuals had me through half the movie, but it played like a sketch in terms of plot, storytelling and underlying logic to the extent it became laughable. Not laughable falling in the…

Nary a scary moment...

These and the reborn Mercury Cougars were surprisingly quick cars that never really got consideration in the sporty coupe market. This one looks to be in pretty nice shape and has the 5-speed; would be a great first car for a kid...

The FRS/BRZ were like the 86 and all everyone does is bitch about the lack of power, so naw, nothing like an 86... Unless you think having a high revving motor would somehow be received differently than a boxer 4. May as well emphasize the Subaru aspect imo... Aww, turbo & torque.

Stripped out STI coupe, I suppose. The idea would be to produce a superior handling (to the STI) AWD coupe, preferably rear-biased so you could still step out the rear end ALA the 70/30 type split used by the old Skylines, 325iX’s, etc... light but quick, torquey with a good P/W ratio, AWD for doing a little bit of…

Cool concept-- yep, basically that!

Coupe instead of sedan, lower ride height and COG, lower weight, sportier interior with good support... But otherwise yes. 

It should be basically a Celica GT-4. 300 HP boxer 4, awd, <3200lbs. That'd be an instant winner. 

It’s so all over the place that it’s clearly several motherfuckers-- like a book where a different child writes each subsequent sentence... the only thing that’s holding it even somewhat together is that their craziness overlaps to a shocking extent.

They constantly flirt with rising above the middle of the pack in the conference. Every few years we climb up the rankings then fall apart soon after. I was at the school in the good Sendek years, for instance, when we had Grundy, Melvin and then Hodge and flirted with being on par with UNC before falling apart soon…

I guess that’s my criticism— the NCAA tourney committee seems to want it both ways. NCSU is not tourney-worthy because they didn’t beat UNC, Duke or UVA, and yet UNC, Duke and UVA are deserving of 1-seeds because they beat up on the lower half of the ACC? 1-7 is bad versus the top 5 seeds of the ACC, but they were 8-9…

They got a 1-seed for the second year in a row, so I’d say they’re a program that has officially made it. That said, we remember how that went for them last year.

It’s easy to point to the losses (VT, GT, Wake) but I’d say the loss to Virginia is really the killer. That was the chance to take down a significant national powerhouse— the one additional marquee win the team needed to get over the hump.

I’ve never seen an entire team go completely cold, of course it happened to my Alma Matter. That game and the Virgina game they should have won came back to haunt them after Oregon won...

Because headroom... That’s really the only justifiable reason. Just answering the emailers Q with an example of one where it’s pretty easy to do. EX35 might be a better example since there’s no G35 wagon... Both on the “skyline” platform.

For the CUV question, get one on a platform shared with Sedans. That way you can work with the existing aftermarket springs/shocks instead of going custom. Audi Q5 would be a good way to go...

Prius with a Roman nose for looks... The seats seven aspect is a nice surprise though. Specs look ok, slightly worse on every metric than the model 3 as expected. When I go electric I want an IQ Buzz or Taycan. Good to see another electric vehicle emerge, should sell well; I mean people buy those $130k minivans they…

Stelvia?

I’m gonna give Little Simz a pass since she spelled the entirety of little. Also her new record is damn good.
