Say what now?

It irks me that in a country plagued by obesity, this guy gets the brilliant idea to push chocolate down the gullets of his young followers.

He’s high as a kite in the top picture.

one word: dopamine

Yeah but you know haters will be haters. Not too sure why so much hate towards one car manufacturer.

No manual option is devastating. It feels like a really big automotive nail in the stick-shift’s coffin, honestly. The GTI was always supposed to be the fun Golf - designed for and sold to people who like driving.

I did work for a car manufacturer. They ALL do it. Back in my day, the manufacturer I worked for was buying audi A6 to study its aluminium structure.

To me it looks like they still had room to get out by the trunk or the back doors. I get it if the car would have been swallowed entirely but in that position, I don’t buy the manual window system saved their lives.

The last time she was drunk and overcorrected on a frontage road she thought was an highway on ramp. Her accord rolled on its side slid backwards into a drainage ditch full of water. the back window shattered and glass was up on the ground over the top of the ditch. (I went an saw the accident site. Her car also cut a…

There is something very, very deeply off with him, but I can’t figure out what it is specifically.

My partner is one of the smartest and most successful people I know and I am baffled by how much she loves tiktok. Every night while we are winding down before bedtime, she watches tiktok and youtube videos and 90% of these people giving “advice” are either complete morons who have no idea what they are talking about…

Something about his face sets off my “scammer” alarms.  Maybe the fake smile with dead eyes?

The worst part of the video, however, isn’t even the blatantly incorrect car stats — it’s the editing. The video is put together like a trailer, quick cut after quick cut with no time to breathe or get invested in an individual model. It’s sensory overload, it’s Subway Surfers next to a Family Guy clip, and I do not…

This right here. There can’t possibly be any difference in the sandwiches because it’s the same exact meat, just being sliced in a different location.

I learned my lesson to avoid touch sliders several decades ago when I foolishly bought and installed an Alpine head unit that used this feature. Riding the wave of iPod “click wheel” mania, it used a non-optional (and also non-backlit) “GlideTouch” to scroll through your music library, which was beyond tedious when…

Competitive analysis is nothing new and it isn’t necessarily a sign of incompetence on behalf of the one doing the teardown. Automakers have been doing teardowns of competitors’ cars for decades. I would not be surprised if Hyundai, Toyota and VW were also tearing down Civics, and Honda was tearing down Corollas and…

To me, it’s hard to beat older cars gage clusters.

They didn’t fix a lot of the complaints though. The only fix is the steering wheel touch capacitive buttons... which entailed them taking the steering wheel from a base model instead.

No it’s really more like the quality of the meat was fine before, slicing it in the store wasn’t going to magically make it even better.

Technically, I think the Aspire name is fine.  Maybe the car wanted to grow up to be a Taurus.  You never know.
