I was thinking the S60 R Design. Choose the plug in hybrid T8 and you are looking at 400 hp and 495 of torque.

Pretty much the exact opposite form of cycling, but France currently has an amazing cohort of downhill mountain bike racers coming into its prime. They’ve been dominating the World Cups this year and look like they could for the next few. If you like France/all forms of cycling, do yourself a favor and watch the next…

How about the short wheel-base, current gen Transit Connect wagon (lightly used)? It would be great for road trips, should have a good aftermarket as a lot of it is the Focus stretched up, and Transit Connects are some of the best vehicles I’ve ever been in for large people. It’s footprint is very small. I can’t…

I hope that they don’t go with Chadwick Bozeman. I thought he was the least exciting part in his own movie. I like Michael B. Jordan and Winston Duke much more from that movie alone if we’re talking black actors (though Jordan might be a bit too omnipresent at this point and Duke would give Bond a physicality even…

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen as many nutmegs as there were in this game. And the team doling them out lost. All in all just a weird game, but really fun to watch.

Thanks for this. It does a good job of explaining why you see offsides called where the offensive player impacts the ability of an opponent (usually the goalie) to see the ball, but this wasn’t counted as offside.

How about a Mitsubishi Montero? The early 90s versions have a cool old SUV look to them and later versions have more creature comforts. Jalopnik has even sung their praises.

Oops, was looking for this post and then replied here instead of linking it.

This logic only works if he’s allocating the full increase in his salary to the “extra to spare” category. If he’s allocating some of it paying down his previous debts, saving for retirement or a downpayment, etc. and the $2000 is the money left over from that, then his income might be way higher than what you…

It also may fix erectile dysfunction.

I think it was largely because the 3 was a premium priced phone that was a very incremental step over the 2 (with a lot of the exciting parts being software, and so available for the 2 as well). I have the Pixel 2, like it well enough, but wasn’t really tempted by the 3.

I don’t know if you mean on one or two bikes, but I would recommend becoming really comfortable on a bike by yourself before you start thinking about a passenger. Even at a time when I was riding a lot, I never really liked carrying a passenger, esp. if they weren’t a motorcyclist themselves.

He means that they are focusing on having retro nostalgic appeal over making the best modern bikes possible.

Hmm, not a rally car, but... Don’t be fooled by this rock slingin’ yacht, he’s still, he’s still Kenny, Kenny Block.

This isn’t that complicated a vehicle. It’s basically a mid-sized truck with an awning and rooftop tent carrying a bit of camping gear in kind of a fancy organizer. I’m actually not a fan of rooftop tents, but it seems like it would be a nice set up if you want the Jeep anyway.

I feel like they could do a lot more with a vehicle with a 5 foot bed and a roof that comes off easier. At a minimum I want to see a the bed neatly laid out so you can cook/sit/stand in the bed area when it’s bad weather and have someone sleep/sit in a loft over the seats while the other person does so. Some of the…

I mean, seems a bit shady, but overall it seems much more a misdemeanor compared to the other stories. The kid seems like he legitimately participates in the sport and has a ~.500 record at the college level. He also was apparently a National Merit Scholar commended student. So, while his dad may have bought his way…

My brother’s does this. I have a 2008 (previous gen) and no problems whatsoever.  Aside from changing some ignition coils at 120,000 and needing a valve spec adjustment at ~75,000, it’s been pretty flawless.

Yes it is. High school basketball teams (or any team where there is no shot clock) generally have multiple sets for using up time when they are winning and the game is close. This isn’t simulation. It’s not taking advantage of a loophole in the rules.

Waiting for that camera must have thrown off his concentration. Slavik won last year, but crashed nastily yesterday.
