Underrated comment here. 

Deep cut from the 80's on that one, but I’ll allow it!

Hear that one Patrick George? We need a jalopnik symposium on the Tracy Scale and the Torchinsky Weirdness Principle. We need to standardize measurements and units. For instance, is the Torchinsky Principle measured in Scimitars? These are the questions we need answers to. 

Reading this article this morning was worth it just for the weird brakes alone. That’s Torchinsky quality automotive weirdness right there. Good work as always, Rob.

Ah yes, finally a vehicle for the person that says, “I want 90% of a CX-5"

You roll the window down and listen. They make an audible scrape when you are getting close to the curb. Helped prevent wheel and tire damage mostly, especially in the old days of whitewalls. Whitewalls were like a pair of white on white sneakers. Gotta keep ‘em looking fresh

So if I’m reading you right, this hit you right in the feel(er)s

This might be one of the stranger builds I’ve ever seen... Of a car I don’t particularly like.... But.... It’s working for me. The fact that I shouldn’t like it is making me like it that much more.

Every time I think I appreciate the weird and unloved vehicles of the world, Torchlopnik enters and quickly informs me that I’m purely an amateur. Torch is in a different league of weird car appreciation. 

Not a terrible way to go. In the old days I’d say try to have a Beamish stout as well, but things haven’t tasted quite right since the old Beamish brewery closed and they were bought out by Heineken. 

Never heard that one before. Interesting. I’ve had folks on both sides (Northern and Southern) call that a depth charge. 

So the actual reason is “black and tans” was the nickname for the special police forces that the Brits (and the RIC) sent into Ireland to keep the citizens and the IRA in line. Their uniforms were black and tan. In reality it ended up being a pretty oppressive group of folks that raided their way through Ireland and…

That is admittedly not a terrible way to roll by any stretch of the imagination. Carry on good sir.

Jager bombs.. The official drink of “Tonight, I black out. No compromises” 

The amount it bothers me is probably a bit overstated there. It’s more of an annoyance really. Would I prefer the name changes? Sure. But on my list of things I need to be concerned and/or offended about, that one’s pretty low on the list. It doesn’t bother me enough to go on a crusade about it, and if someone next to…

2nd Generation Irish here. Live in New England. Never had a problem ordering a black and tan at a bar owned and run by a gentleman of Irish descent as well. I get the historical context of why it could be deemed offensive, but even as a descendant and Irish family that fled the island in the early 1920's for the US, I…

Whoa whoa whoa. Let’s not get carried away. Lifelong New Englander here, and Dunkin Donuts is absolute trash. Their food is frozen reheated garbage, and their coffee is watery slop. Each Dunkin location also varies wildly in quality. Their donuts are also disgusting and are stale 99% of the time. 

RDR2 is worth every single penny of $35. I paid for the expanded launch edition and I’m still not mad that I paid twice this price.

Holy Mother of Depreciation, Batman!
