You are looking at this through the wrong lense. It’s not Dunning-Kruger at all. Management is just trying to buy time until some people miss some house payments and crawl back to the pre-existing poor wages. This is not the first time or the last this will happen.

He doesn’t work at in an assembly plant, that’s the point. Even working adjacent to an assembly plant doesn’t necessarily mean you would have any ability to actually assemble.

It really depends on which desk job it happens to be.

It would’ve work if they followed the Japanese Toyota way and everyone have to get experience in the factory.

But imagine how high the quality of the finished product will be! It’s being made by senior staff, so it must be better, right?

And yet they sell the Supra. Which IS another manufacturer’s car with a turbo. And much as I bleed blue and white, I have no illusions about the warranty claims rate of a BMW turbo vs. a Subaru turbo.

Crucially, the 184 ft-lbs comes on at 3,700 rpm (where the torque dip was), vs the 156 ft-lbs of before coming on at 6,400 rpm.

I think the old BRZ/86 is better looking, but the bump in power is really nice. From photos I’ve seen, the new interior still looks like dog shit. Aesthetically, the Miata has this beat inside and out. It’ll be interesting to see how it performs.

Adding a turbo would put it too close to the 2.0 litre Supra in power and performance, which I suspect Toyota don’t want. Even though Subaru does not have the same issue maybe there is a clause in the JV agreement that means Subaru cannot do a more powerful version than Toyota offer.

I’m going to get panned for this, but I wonder if they realize or don’t care that with forced induction this car would be a car in the mold of the WRX when it came out and had almost the power of an M3 for soooo much less money. Maybe its selling fine without, but I keep seeing this car as a “good enough” effort…

Everybody’s focused on the grille, but I’m thinking it needs a little ducktail.

The Supra looks like a girl who would probably be very pretty if she wasn’t wearing yoga pants two sizes too small and a really bad contour makeup job. You can picture it, can’t you.

Let’s dig into it in a little different way:

David says “I find myself in a similar spot, Matthew, in that recent life events have driven me to seek, in some ways, a hard-reset.”

Please tell me where the nomenclature of one stops and the other begins. 

“God damn it Dad, why did you have to take the rust off”

Oh let’s just start right here with the title.

I’d rather we ditch cities.

By that logic, LeMons teams could justify digging up Judd V10s and Gibson V8s from the 2000s just because they are well past their usable life for Le Mans teams.

Like, fuck it, I’d think you'd be more “ready for a nap.”
