Only if we’re in actual hell. The entire city of Boston clearly is in hell year round - just a miserable festering shithole - a clear sign of American decay and an ever-present reminder of the death of American exceptionalism - the drunken /trying to get in a fight at one of its seven Applebees/ kind of American city,…

The Nissan VQ and Subaru boxer engines do a really good job of converting 70% of the energy of combined gasoline injection, spark ignition, and ambient air combustion into audible fart sounds with the unfortunate side effect of producing 28% waste heat and 2% horsepower.

GM and Ford just make me depressed. We keep talking about manufacturing in the US but who in their right mind internationally would buy cars from these turdbrands?

this thing is awesome

The Aviator, Telluride, and XC90 all look a lot better inside and out than the X7 and the GLS.

And if the Telluride looks better, whatever Genesis comes up with in a year or two will likely look better as well. There’s too much competition out there to put out something that’s noticeably less attractive than…

That’s awesome. I cross-shopped the Continental when I was looking but ended up in Genesis-land for appearance and packaging reasons. I couldn’t find a Conti with the good seats, better sound system, and colors I liked except at a few places 100+ miles away. Dealers that had the cars were barely budging on higher trim…

They’re wrong. This isn’t an homage to the syclone at all. They missed the mark by over a decade. All it’s missing is smoked out rear tails and it’s a perfect homage to 2002-era bad taste.

Wait, there are games where I can drone bomb online weddings?

How does this policy on a more general level not isolate cities as social and political islands even more than they already are?

Saturn Sky redline and Toyota MR2 Spyder are I think really the only options here? I’d probably lean towards the former because the 1ZZ in the MR2 is a little bit temperamental.

I am excited because this post is quintessential “sort-of trash talk from someone from a slowly dying city that thinks it’s in a revival” - Cleveland, Indianapolis, Phoenix, maybe Milwaukee? Just a vague post-industrial sadness, like your environment has slowly sucked most of the life out of you with its quiet…

Yeah but even with all that junk (most of it was bad and removed by the end of the production run) it was outperformed in almost every meaningful way by all domestic market competitors... the RX-7 and the Supra eating its lunch when driven hard, the 300zx being mostly less bad, and the GT-R being the GT-R.

I love the…

$35k for a base model shit spec “usable machine” from a company that can’t build quality vehicles? No thanks.  

I think I agree with both of you? The Souls games have something to them that make replaying them incredibly enjoyable. I think a big part of it is the world-building. 75-80% of Bloodborne is the same way too (there are a few parts of that game that are just unenjoyable slogs).

I’m willing to eventually try this, but…

The 135 and 145 guys in the WEC were my favorite. That 2008-2010 era was so much fun. Faber before he thought he could run a gym, Cruz before he got completely broken, Bendo and Pettis.

Yeah, this is very true.  If the Durango or Cherokee weren’t huge piles of anti-quality there would be no stopping them.  Chevy can be pretty similar.  The Traverse has a fantastic size to it, but it’s a modern chevy with poor quality ratings. It’s a shame.

You’re right of course, they’re different things. It’s the similar use of color and in general a stinking pile of aesthetically unpleasing shit to me. Also now that rustic farmhouse has become “paint minimally styled furniture with whitewash” there’s some blending of styles.

His use of color to create depth and contrast is really good.

I wish they’d make their interiors less awful.

I’d never buy one in their current state because go sit in a Lexus and then sit in a Tesla. You might as well be sitting on a fucking leather covered egg crate driving with a $60 Amazon Firepad in comparison.
