Blendtec. Duh.  

“This is a cheap Volkswagen that somehow isn’t a money pit.”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand you just jinxed yourself.

2nd Gear: I’m a bit disappointed there’s not some joke in there about Jaguar/Land Rover not suffering from a chip shortage because there will never be a shortage of Lucas parts or they long ago cornered the market on vacuum tubes or something... I didn’t say it was a good joke.

Simply not wearing black when you walk hone from the bar would be a lot more practical. Think how much cheaper it would be to get reflective orange vests on pedestrians instead of replacing all the trucks and SUV with slightly less lethal ones.

Make mine a Moeller!

“what’s the point of paying extra for a Lamborghini?”

Screw it, I’ll off-road the crap out of it and report back.

You can spend as much as you want, nothing protects against zero day exploits. Even the sandboxing solutions out there do not really provide much/any protection.

All of’em. Every single one. Federalism presents a challenge, but Americans have demonstrated that they don’t want to pay for infrastructure, period. They don’t want to fund national parks, or transit, or ensure power grid redundancy. They don’t want to protect wetlands, regulate building in disaster-prone areas, feed…

Was totally expecting a slideshow but clicked anyway because I was interested. Pleasantly surprised, thank you. 

“a badass baby mountain goat”

Yes. Someone who is super into Hyundai’s is definitely a gearhead. Even more of a gearhead than someone into something basic, like Mustangs, or Lambos.

I believe these early subsidies led to the start of Renaissance Fairs before Big Turkey moved in with their fancy drumstick money.

being a gearhead manifests itself differently for everyone, but for myself and several of my friends it all started with being able to identify every single last vehicle on the road by heart as a kid. this type of mis-badging would have driven seven-year-old me bonkers.

I had a CX-5 rental for a family beach to the OBX from Norfolk Airport and even though it was just two adults and a baby in a car seat, I found that while there was generally good headroom, the leg room is not where it needs to be for taller adults. With the car seat installed behind my wife’s seat, we had to move her…

I imagine Jerry calling his delaer and being like “Hey...what’s the deal with allocations?” 

My C-Max Energi turned out to have been obviously wrecked and poorly repaired after a year, but had a clean Carfax.

In 40 years that Camaro will be illegal.

Both examples you’ve given use the phrase “toying with”, rather than “toying over”.
