I’m curious how these Ford buyer contracts work in states with dealer franchise laws (that explicitly bar direct sales to keep the likes of Tesla out). How did ford get around this, or did they simply not sell GTs in those states? It seems like someone is having their cake and eating it too.

I agree. Police should not carry deadly weapons, they put us all at risk.

I was shocked to see the write characterize this as a “well intentioned complaint” at the end of his post. I guess it’s nice of him to give the caller the benefit of the doubt, but I suspect actual malice in a lot of these calls. 

I wish I had taken a picture, but I once lined the trunk of my Saab 9-3 with a heavy duty tarp and used it to hall a couple loads of dirt/compost. I was shocked by how much volume it held, though it’s payload capacity may have been exceeded by a few hundred pounds. The rear suspension looked fully compressed...

“He made me show my ID and made it clear I was being tagged.”

What does being “tagged” mean? Is that like saying, we are entering you in the system for future reference? I don’t like the way that sounds...

I would love to see peer reviewed studies on that. As a white person who knows mostly other white people, I certainly believe it based on anecdotal observation.

What is with all the head skin? They have big problems with lice down at the police precinct, or is this just an expression of group affinity?

Do you think anyone is actually going to get out and, you know, vote? My optimism died back in November of 2016. Now we are here...

That is an absurd question. If the BRZ is too slow for regular driving, what do all the poor suckers driving cars with worse power to weight ratios (any Imprezza variant that is not a WRX for example) do? Are we all dead now? No, we are not. I haven’t had any trouble changing lanes in my Crosstrek and have even beat…

ohhhhhhkay then... damn. Why is it that we keep being told most Trump supporters “just wanted to send a message to the establishment” but when you start to engage with them in conversation, it turns out they really are the unhinged lunatics we thought they were?

Despite the fact that the pedestrian was bonehead, the car failed here. It either didn’t see the pedestrian (which it should have) or it did and chose to do nothing. Either way this was a complete failure of the tech. The fact that the outcome may have been the same with a human driver is not particularly relevant. We…

Uhhh... how is the show being co-opted by the alt right? I am suddenly concerned that the Rick and Morty figurines on my desk are sending the wrong message.

There is no real argument other than empty sound bites that sound good to people unfamiliar with the issues or how public schools work. Christian schools may be part of it as a previous comment implied, but this has always been primarily about diverting public money into the pockets of private business. The charter…

It’s hard being a no one. :(

Wow! I guess I see what “past good work” means in those parts!

I was actually thinking about Roger Stone when I typed this, but John Dowd might be a better example.

I participate in some online forums where some common sense gun control measures have come up for discussion. Removable high capacity magazines are an obvious point of contention. They are one of the features that make mass casualty shootings possible. Why does the general public need them?

It’s worth noting that there ARE people that believe Nixon should have fought harder and not left office. Some of these people advise the current POTUS.

At this point I would not be surprised if a number of sitting GOP congressman continued to stand behind trump even if he publicly admitted he was working directly…

You should join ISIS too. You wouldn’t want to appear racist in your terrorism.

Forget the fact that they are out gunned for a moment and reeeeealllly think about what they are saying. They are literally saying the reason they “need” those guns is future attacks they may “need” to commit against government employees and other political opponents if the winds don’t blow their way. Often, the…
