I think the problem here is that you can’t actually market this thing to people who don’t know about cars. There’s no wool-pulling. It’s not like the Urus (I finally have an excuse to drive a Lambo!) or some heritage-laden tweedmobile (Careful with the Jag, darling).

Lots of car names became famous to normies for…

One of those plays where as an opposing fan you’re just mad that someone proved it was possible. He even got both feet in!  But his team still didn’t win. 

Is a 917 lesser than a 924?

No, it’s like golf, the most evil of all sports. It goes:

Also the introduction of blue and yellow color scheme.

It’s the brand of Vape Juice that’s sponsored the Subaru World Rally Team

555 is the brand of cigarettes that has sponsored the Subaru World Rally Team.

555 examples (Internet Glory to the first commenter who can point out why that number is notable)

Per his comment earlier (which should win COTD), send your feedback in an email to Patrick George. Hopefully enough people do it that the corporate overlords do something about it.

I have questions:

That’s one hell of a gamble. Alienate the retinas of everybody outside of China in the hopes that the Chinese market, that’s on the edge of a recession anyway, will buy enough to make it work. I better bet IMHO would have been gold trim and 24" wheels, or really anything that could be more easily toned down in the…

Part of me wants to ask “what the fuck makes dudes like this think shit like this is okay?”

The rest of me understands: “Entitlement. Entitlement, and a culture that has been content until just recently to say ‘boys will be boys.’”

Thank god the second part of that appears to be experiencing some pushback, at least.…

They are committing design suicide. They will definitely lose sales over this. Even among the BMW/M faithful. They will backtrack from this, watch.

In 20 years when all new cars are EV’s, we will look back on this last gasp of ICE cars and their increasingly stupid-looking giant grilles and wonder what hell everyone was thinking. Like parachute pants. 

Here’s my thing with that 1% scenario. What do I do in that situation? Do I plan the route to a compatible charger for an hour stop for every 3 hours of driving (for close to full charge.)? Do I pay$2k for 4+ plane tickets? Do I pay a few hundred dollars for a rental? These extra expenses are on top of the ~25% more…

I hate double standards. If he had horribly broken his ankle, they would have shown it twenty times, zooming in more each time, going in slower and slower motion. But expect the same in a case like this, and it’s “unseemly” and “creepy” and “Sir, please stop calling us in the booth and how did you get this number,…

I call my work strategy "Deadspin on the toilet," its similar to yours but now my coworkers all think im gross for hanging out in the bathroom. 

“Lay down and hide” has been my work strategy for 15 years. The trick is to not get caught.

For a skilled/practiced/professional kicker? Really not that hard.

Honestly I’ve always wondered if kickers are skilled enough to do this intentionally. Especially with the new rules in the NFL making onside kicks nearly impossible, drilling it as hard as you can at the closest member of the receiving team doesn’t seem like terrible strategy.
