Does 2010 qualify for “the 2000s”? If so I must protest... I drove a silver 2010 Altima Coupe SE for 2-3 years, and I friggin loved that car. Zero storage space and wouldn’t win many races, but it was comfortable, fun to drive, looked plenty cool for an economy car, and with a little practice (and a lot of Allman…

Have also worked with government agencies, can verify. No need to hide secrets by writing them in backwards Latin in invisible ink behind a portrait, you can just put it in the weekly department email and it will be lost to history forever.

Could have been the alternate title for this perfect review.

My only issue with that approach is the possibility that the police then chase down and assault — excuse me, sorry, interact with — the truck driver... same concerns apply to any other vehicle you could attach it to, be it a grandma-mobile or a church van. Dropping that sucker down a storm drain along your regular…

VOLVO!

“I always felt like I was getting my lunch money stolen by schoolyard bullies, except it was lunch money for the rest of my natural life and it still didn’t fix the suspension issues. When I asked about estimated cost of ownership going forward the service advisor told me “hard to say, what if a mouse got in there and…

If people got canceled for whining (which Mr. Brownell did not do, he was just telling the story of his day), your Kinja account would only be accessible via the Wayback Machine.

I may qualify as a desperate fan of the Volvo aesthetic. Not sure what that says about me, but we are who we are.

Calling a furious “bullshit” on Missouri. No one in Missouri actually knows how to drive, so everyone basically teaches their kids their own approach to making the wheelsbox go. Clueless, careless, and destructive, the Missouri Driver is a menace to society who requires extra space and close supervision in case they to…

This, absolutely. I’m no BMW fan but the M2 is just perfection, grips the road like a magnetic slot car and drives like the laws of physics were invented for you personally. It has also managed to avoid the worst of BMW’s megadouche styling, which is to be celebrated at every opportunity.

I know that Stuff is Complicated, but do you think Scott could have made it all the way through his remarks without an antisemitic dog-whistle about “Manhattan elites and Hollywood moguls”? Like, just for an evening can we please be left the fuck alone?

Thank you, I love this clip.

I know other people have already said this, but fuck you and your lazy nonsense. Perhaps use gardening tools.

So much to unpack from this remark as well... if the police are trained to see their non-lethal weaponry as insufficient for self defense, why do they have them? Aside from torturing unarmed citizens of course...

Strongly recommend “The Black Count”, the biography of Dumas’s father, Gen. Thomas-Alexandre Dumas. He was a half-Haitian cavalry general who won some of Napoleon’s* greatest victories, and his life experiences (including several years’ imprisonment by monarchist enemies of revolutionary France) inspired several of…

“As I told Mr. McCray, if I were faced with similar circumstances, I would have probably done the same thing,” the Sheriff said in a statement.

Nice to see good things happening for her, really hope it yields enduring benefits in her life.

Yes, yes, and absolutely yes.

“No regular contact with at-risk populations” means literally nothing. Refusing to accept your responsibility for preventing transmission is what we in public health call “a super dickbag move”. You have heard about asymptomatic transmission, right?

Take your goddamn star.
