Does it?

This is all fine, but the Optima was already one of the best-looking sedans on the market.

Before we get too caught up in talking about LA traffic, I just want to make sure we acknowledge that this is a very funny joke by Lil Nas X.

No, I think you’re actually in the majority with the rest of us. With the exception of one Jalop commenter a few months ago, this article is the only time I’ve ever heard anyone suggest the Flex is/was a wagon.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who got hung up on that detail. He could have been wearing thick leather work gloves (my dad always kept a pair by the fireplace) and could have made it out of the house with the log that way, but since the story didn’t specify, I got taken out of the moment a bit while I wondered how to…

Nah, it doesn’t take that long. I just read it, and I-...

My initial gut reaction was to hate it, but I decided I’d withhold judgement until spending some time with it.

As someone with an appreciation for hand-crafted artistry of all kinds, from woodworking to car body repair to that show where people forge knives, I almost always click these cosplay galleries. Taken as a whole, this might be the best collection yet. I don’t know if it is something about that specific convention, or…

Counterpoint: Reading the brief summary on this blog prompted me to follow Kristen’s link to the actual article, thus directly benefiting Car & Driver by sending a set of eyeballs to their website that wouldn’t otherwise have been there. I even saw an ad for an Alfa while I was there, thus contributing a bit of ad…

This is really nice work. Great job, Leslie Rosique!

The nice thing about the Battle Pass is that (assuming you have enough self control to avoid purchasing additional cosmetics in the item shop) you’re almost certain to earn more than enough V-bucks to buy the next season’s Battle Pass.

That happened to me, too, except I didn’t last long enough to encounter any humans. The first timid, softball bot managed to kill me after I ran past not one, but two different guns without successfully picking them up, because I haven’t used ‘E’ to pick up guns in years. (I laughed afterward when the game had a…

That was my first reaction, too. Then I went and looked at the website directly and saw that they are actually knitted sweaters, not printed sweatshirts. I was surprised, too!

Fortpiercer.

Okay, I have to ask why you hate Tim Sweeney specifically. Not only does he share the pinnacle of game-programmer royalty with John Carmack, he has always seemed nice on top of that. I got a chance 15 years ago to chat with him for about 5 minutes, and he couldn’t have been more humble or polite, despite having…

It’s hard to say, since nobody knew for sure what the condition of the car was at that point, but yeah, $25k is probably closer to that point where no buyer would commit without being able to get a better look at it, and without a committed buyer the owner might never get around to excavating it.

Yes! I really wish Mazda would bring the 5 back. There really is nothing else like it. It is the sweet spot where car and van meet, taking the strengths of both and merging them. Drives, handles, and parks like a car, with car-like mileage, but with the interior capacity and sliding doors of a small van.

Props to Savina for saving the car, and congratulations, but I also think the previous owner deserves a shout-out for being willing to sell something that he clearly wasn’t motivated enough to save himself. I suspect a lot of people would have gone the “I know what I have” route and set the price too high, and by the…

As long as it “predicts” that I’m gonna hit every shot perfectly, I think this is a technological feat I can get behind.

That was my thought as well. If they’re shutting down the project, at least show us all the details so we can either A) bemoan the fact that we’ll never get to own one, or B) make fun of it, depending on what those details are.
