This kind of income disparity often leads to bad things. (1789)

It seems that much like any business focused soley on the immediate profit, they’re forgetting how they used to build a customer base.

As an EE that’s been in the industry for a long time, Solar roof tiles are a terrible idea on so many levels.  But in short they create way too many electrical connections!  Pun very much intended 

You know, I have to imagine panel gaps are a pretty serious issue on a roof.

The difference in cabin damage I expected based on that first picture is, uh, vastly exceeded by the reveal in the second.

Proper clickbait title - “Elon Musk Thought to be Stealing Children’s Souls - Oh, and They Missed Some Paperwork.”

As someone who actually studies the economic effects of regulations at the microeconomic level, I can tell you that there certainly are examples of the EPA making rules that are “overly strict”.

I don’t care if it’s the same old thing. It’s the same old thing that keeps bringing me back for the 10 years I’ve been watching their various shows, reading their books and following their antics. I even paid for motor trend TV to rewatch the old TG shows.

I remember when Jalopnik used to enjoy and encourage car culture 

That's a really strange comparison to make.

I was planning to sell my manual 135i because I have too many cars. Yesterday, I took it out on a spirited drive in the santa cruz mountains - to pick up 50 lbs of tomatoes - with the kids. One of them threw up. But I had a goddamned blast and changed my mind on the sale.

I’m not going to argue that a manual transmission makes sense in the G70. Honestly, they never should have bothered. They were dooming it to failure by making it and the V6 mutually exclusive options. It wouldn’t have sold enough with the V6 to keep it as an option either, but at least it wouldn’t have seemed like…

i don’t really understand the confusion of driving a vehicle like this. the transmission is simply an option. granted a very complicated and expensive option to offer multiple versions of, but still just an option.
