On the other hand, I’ve been wondering recently why there isn’t a competing monster truck series of similar caliber to Monster Jam, and the only reason I could come up with was that nobody with the interest in doing so would have deep enough pockets to organize events of the same scope. Enter, Mattel.

I think your argument is only true as long as nobody builds electric bikes that people can truly feel passionate about. Aside from the side-effects (noise, smell, and vibration,) people like motorcycles because of the riding experience, and their growing bank of positive memories from previous experiences. But I…

I’m sure the irony of using anti-immigrant chants to taunt a man whose people were here before white people immigrated to this land is lost on these kids.

I think you’re right about the process (photographs of an actual human model, with a render of CG head with matching lighting comped in) but at least it is still relatively well done. And honestly, the cost difference of doing that, as opposed to trying to recreate every real outfit in Marvelous (or whatever else) is…

Abandoning sedans in favor of crossovers/SUVs feels a little bit like companies shuttering their own websites in favor of using Facebook as their web presence, not realizing that Facebook is increasingly in the same demographic boat as Harley-Davidson.

Yeah, my son got a few of those for his birthday, and I recognized them instantly as the sculpts from Disney Infinity, which I think is a great idea. It would have been a shame not to find another use for them, since the sculpts were already done and they are very charming. (Take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I…

Kia ended 2018 with 3.42% of the US market, which sure doesn’t sound like a lot...

And it isn’t even removable. You’ve actually got to unlatch your seat belt and position yourself in your chair so you can get your chin down there on the center console in order to shave. Makes it really hard to use while driving. I expect better ergonomics from Porsche. No sale.

You’re not wrong.

One of Valve’s greatest strengths, hand-in-hand with the “flat hierarchy,” is their policy of giving employees a lot of freedom to choose what they want to work on at any given time, which most likely helps ensure that people are always doing their best work. I’m not being snarky; I think that is legitimately a good…

I don’t need an investigation to tell me this is fabricated, but that is part of the charm. It is clearly done with a wink as part of the marketing, to enhance the atmosphere around the project, rather than an attempt to deceive.

So, I haven’t quite finished watching the entire season of The Gymkhana Files, and I can’t decide if I should watch the actual Gym 10 now, or wait until I’ve finished the season (probably on my lunch break tomorrow.) Will seeing the finished product take some of the drama out of the final episode, since I’ll already…

To each his own, I’m just wondering if someone has already put in Facing Worlds...

If the car is wearing a “bra,” ask to see under it. While you risk sounding slightly pervy for asking, it’s possible the purpose of said bra is not simply to prevent rock chips, as the seller claims, but to hide the very noticeable dent that was “repaired” by filling the cavity with filler.

“Prius with a widebody kit and a 5.4 liter V8" scratches an itch I didn’t even know I had.

I would assume because the Prius is the most aerodynamic starting point. Even with all the extra bodywork added on, I would assume the airflow over the top is still more efficient with the Prius than the other vehicles.

For me, it was all about the fact that every kid who grew up with Transformers knows Bumblebee is a yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

I hope someone at Chevy sees this, because I feel like you legitimately just solved the Camaro for them.

Nah, I’m pretty sure there is a shortage on asbestos and broken glass right now, so...

I didn’t mean that the people creating the posts were flagging their own work for Twitter jokes. I was suggesting there are a few bad actors who are deliberately flagging non-offensives posts by other people because they are entertained by making a mess for others to clean up.
