You're simply ridiculous 

I’ve found that most people, ordinary non-car fans unlike Jalops, seem to be happy in a 55-75mph speed range. They don’t, generally, seem to want to go up to 80mph.

Yeah, because that's pretty much the only people who can afford them

Why is it weird?

On average, I get paid about 20 cents a word, so no, I did not make $1,800 for this article. 

I join you in your hatred of chrome - especially chrome plastic. It is god awful, and outside of cars from the 50s and 60s, I don’t want to see it anywhere. So, I’m with you. And hey, contrary to the other poster, I love the yellow lights. 

As an engineer who works on government contracts, lazy programming is par for the course.

Looks like you’ve pun-ctured my joke XD

They get early re-tire-ment?

I’ve been around since the console wars were between Atari and Mattel Electronics.

Oh for sure. We need that competition and as many differentiating factors as possibly contributes to that.

This is exactly why fanboys are idiots when they want one or the other to fail.  If only one of these companies is ever left standing, you can be rest assured you’ll get the minimum possible effort on future consoles.

The greatest technical leap... on what metric? Because if it’s in pure processing power, each generation added more to the previous one than the one before, so it’s no big deal. If we look at it in percentage, it’s probably less clear. But if we look at something a little more subjective such as “visual fidelity”,…

I am in full support of regulations like safety, emissions, etc.

Glad to see ageism is alive and well. I’ve always supported the advancement of safety in cars, and I’m 60 years old.

Most of the “fat” on those trucks is for crumple zones. Modern engines look absolutely tiny inside of the engine bays, with a lot of empty space just for padding.

The Washington one wasn’t even a bomb, it was a missile body without a warhead.

here in germany this would just be a regular wednesday
