I’m not saying I want the Alfa to go away, more that I want FCA to leverage the platform they own to make an American muscle sedan that would be up on power and reliability (and weight) and down on handling versus it’s Alfa counterpart... While being a bit smaller and a lot more nimble than the current full sized LX…

I just want a Giulia with the hellcat motor, which they could have already done. Give me all that power with a 35-3600 curb weight instead of 4200, with a razor sharp and communicative chassis and steering setup... Oh and yank all the Italian electronics out of it so it's actually reliable. 

Nice, I knew I was completely missing a couple new releases, gotta check those out!

Ford Explorers are very capable until they turn into Ford Exploders and leave you stranded. I'd rather off-road in a first gen Xterra, at least it'll only drop it's rusted out exhaust on the trail. 

Fiat doesn’t need new models to move some numbers, they need to break whatever Gentleman's agreement they have with Mazda and shove a 2 liter turbo into the Fiata with at least 240HP and they’d sell, even if the appearance is disappointing. 10lbs/HP solves all of life's myriad problems. 

I’m liking the little EP of mini tracks that Toro y Moi released this week, it’s almost purely spaced out R&B/hip-hop.

Most athletes, including baseball players, do quite a bit of weight lifting. To build up muscle effectively you have to work your lower body— half of the muscle for the average person is in the legs; if you don’t build up those muscles your body won’t allow you to build up upper body strength beyond a certain point.…

Absolutely.... And it’s a foreign concept for automobile performance because by nature an IC engine maintains it’s performance run after run, as long as the radiator is doing it’s job and the ECU doesn’t have to pull timing.

I’m way too lazy to look up my post for the sake of a ‘called it!, but I had a discussion with someone I *would have* called a Tesla fanboy beforehand that pretty much predicted this. I argued that the Porsche would win on handling, driver feel, repeatability and track times.

Sounds like you should pay for business class or a better airline. 

This is such bullshit, blaming the passenger in front of you for a problem caused by the airline. Don’t want someone reclining their seat in front of you? Pay the extra amount to fly an airline that provides more legroom or pay for first class. By flying on United or American you’re signing up for an airline that has…

I starred your post in spite of your incorrect take. Steely Dan are punk rock as fuck. 

Your last article will be forever legendary... You’ll definitely get a direct call out in the wiki for Gawker/GMG/GO/conoco-mitsubishi-spork-warner-haliburton-monsanto in the 'death' section. 

They’d rather create silence than jobs or money. 

If the writers were posting conservative screeds they’d be telling them to stick to politics.

I hope when the deadspin cats find a new home that they make room for jalopnik over there as well, G/O is a cesspool.

I haven’t seen one yet but two of my colleagues have, so there are at least a couple in the wild.

“It really amazing,” Nate Silver tweeted in response to a Republican strategist who posts about politics and, when needed, weird hurricane-related misinformation under the name @ComfortablySmug, “how many Libs can’t even permit Trump to have *one good day* (nobody will remember this stuff by Tuesday) after US…

FWIW, the relevant quote (from the script) from Bojack

That was the one other possibility I could imagine. Deadspin is clearly profitable so I’d be a little shocked if they shut it down, so a strike seems possible, but then Univision has seemingly done everything they can to destroy the GMG network so I wouldn’t be shocked either if this is all just an excuse to shutter…
