It was very annoying. I was packed up and about to leave on a roadtrip and had to sit around and wait for almost half an hour for it to finish.

Me too! Here’s your star.

THIS. Yes, I almost didn’t click too because I was expecting a slideshow. Pleasantly surprised to find an actual, readable article instead.

Exactly this. When your home gets down into the 20s and you’re on Day 3 of this bullshit and you’re exhausted from constantly trying to figure shit out that you never even thought you would have to think about before you start making mistakes. Unfortunately this mistake cost lives.

How is this better than the ChangLi?

I got one for my birthday a couple of years after that in 1989. I was still sleeping on it up until 2017 when Harvey ruined it and my wife gleefully chopped it to pieces with a sawzall.

This is exactly how I imagine it would happen, and I hope Jalopnik would be there to live blog it, along with those quick courtroom sketches.

You’ve done it Jason! You’ve finally made the big leagues!!! You can now count yourself among the greats whose written art has been sufficiently thought out and described to prevent a patent. You are now ranked up among the likes of Robert A Heinlein. Good job, sir, well done.

My subaru does OTA updates, but it only works when the car isn’t moving and it’s close enough to my home WiFi. So no monkeying with it at freeway speeds.

I’ll admit I bought my BRZ for the resale value. I didn’t think about color though, I liked the way it looked in blue and that was it.

Neutral:

I’m still disappointed that the Suzuki C2 never made it to the streets. It would have been a perfect competitor to the Miata, but with a 1.6L twin turbo V8.

HA! I understood that reference :)

Any news on if/when we might see a potential drag race between Tianhe and the ISS and what channel that would be on?

This might be the only case where I would recommend a lease. How does that work in the case of the lessee passing away? Does the car just go back to the lessor or does the estate have to cover any mileage or early termination fees?

Again, Torch posts and article that provides a perfect escape from reality. Much needed, thanks!

Ok, I didn’t know that and now it bugs me. Thanks for bringing that to my attention :P

It doesn’t show up on the map but there’s a Port McAcres right in there too.

It’s possible that some do but I’ve never heard it. Mostly it’s just portarthur pronounced as all one word or P.A. I have one friend who refers to himself as “Poet Arthur” but I’m pretty sure he’s alone on that.
I hear some of the yutes call it Trill City these days but UGK came along after I had moved away from there…
