I can get on board with hating billionaires or the generationally wealthy, but I have to agree with OP. I’m nowhere near “wealthy”, but I’m also a DINK and am fortunate enough not to have debt, so I have a nice car and a weekend car. There’s nothing wrong with that - I don’t have to pay for school for kids, or save…

Several races in person, even. While you could argue that he was a bit brash when he was younger, I think he has certainly proven to be far more than a competent driver. Do you watch F1? Specifically last season and this season? He’s not my favorite driver (I like Gasly and Ocon), but you can’t say he just…

This is fantastic. I was on a multi day trek in Colombia a few years ago and in the jungle I was about 2 days into no cell service when I broke my foot. I was young and broke so I didn’t have any satellite phone or emergency device, so I had to trek a day towards where I thought there was a small village, on a broken…

I see the we-hate-high-car-payments-because-we-can’t-afford-them brigade are out in full force again. Some people just have a higher disposable income and choose to allocate a proportion of their salary to cars. It doesn’t make them bad at math. My husband and I are a cliche DINK couple - both have professional jobs, n…

While Verstappen did prove to be a competent driver

The first engine design I was involved with at GE Energy used compressor designs from the SR71 engine. It was cool to see that design live on in an 80,000 HP gas turbine! BTW, that’s how much power was required to start our largest engine, the 9H gas turbine. Those machines are incredible!

This. I had a used 2011 S4 several cars ago, and it was a great fit. It was sporty, plenty of room for 4 people, large enough trunk, and it was AWD (for our midwest winters). Wife loved it too. It’s not flashy, but it fits the bill.

Holy shit. Ariel is building the car that all 7 year olds inside of us has always wanted.

Speaking from experience, I’d say if he can stomach the maintenance costs, go with a 2013-2016 Audi S4. It’s everything I loved about my Legacy GT, with an inch more of space in every direction, and stock power is right around where a Legacy GT maxes out.
I considered the new Civic, but my wife prefers not to drive a…

OLIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the equivalent of fan service - those of us that started watching TG back in the early 2000s. I still turn on some of those episodes from my Plex server and it feels like a warm blanket…and still funny. 

I second this sentiment. Nothing they do is new, but that doesn’t mean it’s not enjoyable. If I was a millionaire with a blank check to make car films with my friends, I’d keep doing it too.

They are doing a victory lap on life - while they can all still walk and think straight. I am all for it. It may be old hat, but its always fun to watch

I think this is a valid concern. I live in DC and the worst harassment I’ve gotten has been on the bus or Metro. Just this week someone was stabbed to death on the MetroCenter platform. If you don’t feel safe on transit, only those that can’t afford a car take it because others will drive for the convenience and…

“Urban planning has long prioritized vehicles over humans.”

Because I can make 30-50% more than in most other parts of the country, including other large cities. My commute from my nice house in the exurbs sucks balls, especially the part where I have to scrum through crowds in Times Square, but my earning potential is so much greater in NYC than near my home.

The difference basically comes down to the distinction between profit and profiteering. If you, as an individual, buy a Corvette and then resell it for a profit, you assumed a risk in your original purchase that maybe you’re wrong about the market and you end up break even or even losing. Even if we’re all in…

+1 on the silos. I work as head of production in the creative arm of a large company. It would make sense for me to handle all production company-wide, but....no. Product has their own producers, and their own creatives. Content? Yup, you guessed it. Their own teams. It makes no sense, and leads to massive duplication…

What is this, a space station for ants?

Modern Audi styling sucks ass for one reason.
