Porsche's my favorite automaker, but they've done a pretty good job of not leaving anything on the table. I'd like to see a 918 with a traditional powertrain, but that's not really a dream. This is what the world really needs to see in new-car, warrantied form:

That movie is fantastic.

Air travel is too important to leave to capitalists. The profit motive will necessitate making things cheap. When you make airplanes cheap, they fall out of the sky. Air travel should be handled by governments, the capitalists can build the equipment on government contracts. Ideally every air agency on the planet…

I owned a car with i-Vtec for 6 years and it was just boring. No senses could pick up any indication that you were driving something special unless you were outside the car looking at the sticker on the rocker panel. Call me a ricer, but it just wasn't as much fun as a traditional Vtec setup.

That could work well enough for publicly traded companies. It would even give incentive to raise pay for the common workers without forcing anything. I think there'd have to be an exception made for executives that still own companies, though. Bill Gates, Sam Walton, Zuckerburg, etc. weren't just handed their…

How can it possibly work? They don't have enough money to make a difference. There are far too few of them.

I don't ever refer to dual clutches and automated manuals as automatics.

People have made it about an individual and I just carried that over to here. If you include all of those and "spread the wealth", the amount you'd be able to give to each individual contributor is still trivial. It's easy to just try to bring down the upper class. Find a good solution, not the easiest one you can…

You're right, so why bother? They're rich for a reason. Taking all their money away and spreading it out won't do much good.

I think he's quite impressive. It's not the best argument, but it emphasizes the fact that if we just try to make the rich poor, everyone will be poor. Like it or not, a big wealth gap makes for a better society than a wealth gap eliminated by default because there is no wealth.

Ok, who am I leaving out?

Well good! That leave me wondering why you would suggest such a thing, but good nonetheless.

They try to hide it, but at the bottom of every Jalopnik page and every other page owned by Gawker you're find:

Then just learn to drive a real manual. It's really not difficult at all.

Because an automatic gearbox isn't a manual with automated actuators. There are significant differences in the mechanics of the two and perfectly replicating a manual experience on an auto gearbox in that manner would either be impossible or even more cost-prohibitive. Not to mention that even less people would want…

Way better than the feeling you get from being a typical Gawker commentor.

Yeah, and what did McDonald's spend to keep its business going? If you don't understand why that's important, don't bother replying.

If you forgot the notion of political parties you might have a better political philosophy. I'm not saying taxes are fair, I'm saying that taking money away from rich people isn't going to make a difference.

Toyota and Subaru just did.

So how do we get out of this hole we're in? It really doesn't seem like there is any one obvious answer. Maybe it means new cars need to get cheaper, and not more expensive. It also could mean that we as a nation need more of a commitment to boosting wages at the lower, middle, and middle-upper levels so we can…
