I concur/conquer. Especially since Kia hired the guy that designed the last gen Mazda 3 and and built the Forte hatchback to match it. With Kia's 10-year monster of a warranty (in a good, Sage Kotsenbro way, monster), why would you buy something else that's not guaranteed?

We used to race with this map at the office. In general, people only got maybe 40 states correct. Then I tried to do it with Europe though and I got schooled.

The legal conflict is complicating VW's decision on where to build a new sport-utility vehicle for the U.S. market. Chattanooga and a new plant in Mexico are in the running. The company doesn't want to announce a decision until the UAW issue is settled, a person familiar with the company's thinking says.

Why was the data inconclusive? As I noted above, since people weren't looking for this problem they may not have find it in the crashes investigated. Why they weren't looking for the problem is anyone's guess.

Man I feel like an idiot. Completely forgot which site I'm on. Obviously meant trolling the FCC/ a Deadspin plant. I blame Kinja changes.

This person is clearly trolling the FCC, or is a Jalopnik plant. All Caps, incoherrent punctuation and line breaks, poor spelling, complaining about talking about marijuana...

The divide between the "80%" and the "100%" is immense and our better equipped and better trained operators would dominate.

Edit: Thanks for actually engaging on the merits of the discussion. Always preferable to "Gah, you're an idiot because we're not saying the exact same thing!"

The big issue that I have with driver less cars is the idea that people have that its just "ok" to be completely distracted with other things while the car drives. - At this stage, not ok; eventually, wouldn't that be the point?

We're having lunch with VW and dinner with GM, let us know what you want to know.

I HAVE indeed commuted for an hour + each way (uphills in the snow both ways) and its terrible. I would rather use that time enjoyably by reading or eating or at least productively (like a moving office). and as for the cake,

I am having a hard time agreeing with your premise that you could send a message by not buying into HOA neighborhoods, but this is a great sentence because I was thinking a similar thing while reading this thread: You bought 3 homes either entirely or partly, not by choice? Do you often find yourself in a room with…

I don't think its as much about a status symbol as it is pure convenience. Have you ever taken the bus? Check that, have you ever had to rely on the bus to operate as scheduled to transport you to a necessary event/appointment. Yes, a bus is essentially a nice big multi-person driverless(notreallybutsorta) car, but…

#IputHisChargerPicsUpBecauseTheSaintsAintShitForWhatTheyDoin is the best tag ever. Fixed.

The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has turned up a lot of theories, but very little concrete evidence. What we do know is that an event like this is actually much more possible than we might think, despite everything we track today.

YES! This is hugely important and cities NEED to keep this in mind any time a professional team or business decides they want to play this little extortion game.

And its much appreciated by me (at least) who's really interested in this but only knows about half (maybe) of the acronyms

I actually would read a column that presented interesting facets of sports law. Not like boring topics, but like more details about the college football attempts to unionize and long term ramifications of CBAs at the college level. Stuff like that.

Do you guys actually know who any of the commenters are, or do you just recognize the burner accounts?

I can't speak to the patent issues, but other people before me have. But, China needs to give a shit about ripping off IP (technically or not) if its looking for "respect" from non-Chinese. While BMW had been doing the dual headlamps for years, Mercedes didn't wake up one morning and say we're going to put the exact…
