That’s what smart car thieves say, when they get interviewed about the nefarious ways: Drive as a saint, and you can drive for years without being stopped.

Nothing prevents a shitty dealer from backing out of the deal and being shits to a customer, and that’s probably the best way to prevent Automatch from using them ever again.

If they’re a traditional go-between between the end customer and suppliers, sure. But won’t the customer actually have to go to said shitty suppliers to finish with paperwork and such? Automatch aren’t insulating from shitty suppliers, they’re just finding suppliers for the customer. 

Herb! That’s what I was thinking about! Thank you!

I apologise — I wasn’t clear on where I felt the issues were. I think the engineering can still be absolutely amazing, if given the chance to be. But as you’ve alluded to, the upper management appear to be more interested in this quarter’s share prices than anything remotely related to being long-term, and that’s what…

They’re not that different though. Japanese plates for this class of automobiles are 165 mm x 330 mm (HxW), whereas US ones are 153 mm x 305 mm. You’re right the mounting holes are in different locations, but they’re both similar aspect ratios and similar sizes. 

what about the procedural and cultural changes within Boeing to prevent this from happening again?

I hate to break this too you, but 4.5 million people die every year in this country

it’s about how you should always trust the executives.

The 737 Max effectively is a clean-sheet redesign, but with additional software to make it handle like the old plane. Except they rely on a single point of failure component for this software to run, and they claimed the pilots don’t need to train on various failure modes that this may result in.

I was in the greys. Then I was pulled back up, and now I’m not in the greys. 

Woo! I am also out of the greys! Thank you, benevolent Jalopnik overlords!

I used to be in the black, then changed myself from using Twitter-federated login to a Burner. I’m now in the grays. I’m sure this will be a long and arduous journey back. ‘Grats on getting out!

This is amazing -- in a few short years, we’ve gone from no US-based manned capability post-Shuttle, to commercially-designed and built rockets that are human-rated again. I don’t care for Elon Musk, but he did build something extraordinary in SpaceX.

WFH is not a long-term solution for the majority of workers.

Or they’re going after poor people, which is usually a proxy for PoC. I’m sure this Bentley, with 2 of 3 CHMSL light segments being out, will get a pass.

No, Tool, I’m not even calling unless you show the car with the wheels that will be on it when I buy it. Pull this ad, put on the wheels you’ll be including and shoot new pictures.

You’re like the morons in my town that think people flipping them off for their little ego parades are just as bad as ISIS

Lewis Hamilton is angling this as an exit away from Mercedes and will be signed by Red Bull to be Max Verstappen’s #2.

I got annoyed at federated logins not working, so I had to create a burner.
