Just wait until T***a pulls a Lexmark/HP and does an Over-the-air update to authenticate that you’re using only T***a-authorized batteries.   You know, for safety.

The “who” refers to every reader. The “you” refers specifically to you, Kaiser Khan. How’s that for a drug trip?

Or Yamaha.

This is exactly what the late Sergio Marchionne said, wasn’t it? I believe it was in his pitch-deck called ‘Confessions of a Capital Junkie’ a few years ago that he pointed out that every automaker on the planet had a 2.0-Liter Inline-Four and they should all just cartel-up and save a billion bucks by buying them all

Agree that this movie is practically perfect, in every way.

Memo to British car making people: British cars are ok to have STARTER buttons. If you ever drove the E-Type you have in your collection, you’d know that.

It’s not THAT passive.  You still have to touch a handle.
