Thanks. Was going to hunt this article down and post it. Also some similar ones that happened when I was living in Hong Kong.

Pardon me, but it’s actually ‘taking the piss out of someone’, not ‘from someone. It’s a funny difference.

Agreed. I had two of the old ones and loved them. I still feel happy when I see survivors on the road. But though I resented the idea of the ‘new’ one when released, I think it’s attractive in person. Especially in that forest-green color, whatever it’s called.

Step one: Buy this car.

Can you do one for my motorcycle, please? Six speeds, no reverse if you don’t mind.

I was briefly very excited to read this. I daily a 2005 Honda Hornet 900 (aka Honda 919 or Honda CB900F). Favorite bike ever among the many different kinds I’ve owned. Fast as hell, tons of low-end torque, comfortable even for hours of riding, and dead reliable. Also great looking, I think. Unfortunately, it shows no…

I’ve regularly had my Samsung S21 phone attached to a not-too-expensive handlebar mount on my motorcycle for almost daily driving over the past year, and with my prior phone (still owned, still functional) for a while before that. No issues so far.

Greatly enjoyed the refreshingly and reasonably absurd article. However, the phrase ‘ready for the most erudite of buyers’ kind of threw me. Although I am, actually, among the most erudite of buyers, I couldn’t find the logic or reference here. Is it a shout-out to a TV show I don’t watch? Catchphrase from an ad I…

Thanks. That’s what I would have expected, but the phrasing had me think you might mean the opposite. No worries.

Thanks. I’m trying to not always be that guy.

Pardon me, but what does ‘take kid gloves to’ mean in this sentence?

Both are smarmy, self-aggrandizing automobiles?

Well played

Normal durian is so stinky that a rotten one is actually an improvement.

I’m excited by this concept. Does ‘beyond confused’ mean that the mental clouds have parted and you can see clearly for miles and miles? Or the opposite, in which the tangled, inconclusive thoughts worsened and then then then...I don’t know; I’m beyond confused now.

That Leno/celeb-proximity tie in to yesterday’s car was sweet. Thanks for the treat.

Jeez, that would put the green in Soylent Green

I’m curious; what were you going to say if he were apparently Hispanic? Or, say, of Middle Eastern origin. Or another ethnicity. Have stereotypes ready to plug in?

This is a straw woman argument
