I’ll just leave this here.

You have to hand it to her brother, though, being able to find something even more evil than Amway.

“Someone is going to have to lure Donald Trump out of Trump Tower with a six-foot portrait of himself and force him to be president.”

Was this in any way a mark of distinction between the two candidates? Because I certainly didn’t hear Trump suggesting that he would unilaterally disarm or end the fight against ISIS.

There isn’t any valid perspective that would excuse voting for Trump. Period.

To pull the lever for Trump, one of three things has to be true:

1) You are an overt racist and misogynist;

So, I have found this whole election educational, in the following way: I used to see people of color (e.g.) say things like “it’s not my job to educate white people about racism; that’s on them,” and while I understood and agreed with the sentiment intellectually, I had trouble relating to it emotionally, just…

That’s not fair. Fox News is also abusive.

So basically what we’re learning is that there really isn’t a way to make inexpensive diesel engines that meet car and truck emission standards.

FTFY.

You don’t need the tinfoil hat, unless you’re wearing it for fashion reasons. I absolutely guarantee that some level of thought was given to that—not so much the investment, but the timing and means of announcing it.

Yeah, this. It’s kind of remarkable now to follow a pre-1975ish car on the road; even with the windows up you can definitely smell it.

So is it OK for a movie to trade on overtly homophobic tropes if it first self-consciously calls out the fact that it is doing so? I’m kind of thinking no.

Ah, Hongqi. Back in the early 90s, I remember seeing an Audi 100 in Dearborn with a Chrysler 2.2 engine, which was the result of a variety of investment decisions that FAW made.

Proof this was not just a fever dream: http://www.carnewschina.com/2012/02/28/history-the-hongqi-ca750f-from-china/

Am I the only one that read that press release in Vin Diesel’s voice?

“Is that a model? Sounds European. What’s she doing after the press conference?”

This is a very strange presentation. If it weren’t for the identity of the seller, it would just be a slightly tatty but nevertheless pretty original Ferrari.

The Chevy SS is a car I will regret not buying for a long time.

As an internet commenter, let me just clarify that the number of times I have asked for a twin turbo RWD sports sedan with a fucking automatic is...hmm, let me go back and look...

Ah. Yes. Zero. Zero times.

I will not buy this, because it is lame and dumb to build a “sports sedan” without a manual gearbox.

I think there’s some space between “rebadged” and “totally different.” A significantly revised front and rear clip would split the difference, and might even be necessary for crash test/compliance purposes.

I feel like we’ve been on the receiving end of a class on insurgency and asymmetric warfare for 15 years now.
