That struck me as odd too... From a quick googling:

...And thus began the era of 10 liter diesels.

Those were nothing... Do you remember the debate over what color this dress was? Entire cities were wiped off the map.

I thought it was surprising to see a Marvel movie nominated at all. It was a good movie, but Oscar nominations normally don’t go to popcorn action flicks.

If you think a $110,000 Continental is a good buy, you should check out a Taurus!

I’d think these doors would be more cyclist friendly. You wouldn’t open the door into an oncoming cyclist because you’d see them (unless you really hate cyclists, which is understandable), and if you opened a door while a cyclist was coming from behind, the cyclist would knock the door back shut and maybe bounce off…

If it was a charity like the article says, then I don’t see why he’d be on the hook for anything.

I both agree and disagree. On street bikes, I agree 100%... People like street bikes with some gravitas, and the aural component is a big part of that. Riding on the street isn’t a particularly visceral experience, so you need a little noise to kick things up a notch.

To hell with a hybrid... I want an AWD 3-pedaled RS version with a bed that can haul a motorcycle with the tailgate down!

If you want a car you can both DD and camp out of that isn’t huge and drives like a car, there’s not really any other modern vehicle comparable to an Element.

Then the airbags would’ve rendered themselves largely useless from prematurely blowing their load while the car was still rubber side down.

Chrysler - “Hey, whatcha guys talking about? Oh... Reliability.”

Exactly! Finally the market has produced something for all those people who were clamoring for a car that has the prestige of a Toyota badge, but the maintenance costs of a BMW!

Oof, you’re not kidding.

Then driver’s will just sandbag the qualifying. In other series teams have to add ballast to their cars for winning... The more you win, the heavier your car gets.

Do any of those vehicles designed to carry 15+ people from the ground up have sunroofs that I can stand up through while drinking champagne and yelling “WOOooooOOOOO!!!!!”?

It does kind of beg the question of how well a Lady Gillette ad would go over if the overriding message was “You women are terrible. Be better.”

I also have experience taking a race bike over 150MPH on the track... I dunno what you ride, but the geometry, suspension and tires of my Fireblade bear no resemblance to this:

They brought back the Supra, maybe if we’re loud enough Toyota will bring back the Previa to sate our mid-engine, manual trans, vantasy.
