When I was a 15-y-o boy, I had an butt that stuck out and was very self-conscious about it. One day, one of the cool kids who was holding court before class started commented that I “have that giant shelf ass.” I was mortified. I can’t even imagine multiplying “that feeling” x “teenage girl” x “in bathing suit” x…

“Have you tried teaching your sons to not be sexist little fucks?”

This is beyond gross. I didn’t even know referees could disqualify swimmers for this?? I competitively swam for years! And then I did competitive diving and I can’t even tell you how many times my swimsuit was pulled down by the force of entry. I had to quickly adjust it on my way to the surface so no one would see my…

Ah, to be a fat kid in a school system that also color-coded the swimsuits by size. Who got to wear the poo brown colored swimsuit instead of blue or green or black? Ah, for arbitrary school policies that linger in the memory for decades.

WOW. Awful.

The teen girl’s mother has also been told by other parents that her daughters need to cover up for “the sake of their sons.”

How in the worlds an adult do you do that to a teen girl and not realize you are the villain in this story?

Oh, hey, editing. This:

2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata top speed: 135 MPH = $222.22 per MPH

Having never been touched like that by a woman before, it was all he could do to prematurely eject her.

Seems like the real hat tipping goes to Michelin for engineering tires that can hold up under that kind of speed.

In the US, even if they were plugging PURELY into a Coal fire plant, due to the efficiencies of modern power generation, the per mile CO2 emissions cost of this vehicle would be significantly lower than if it was maintaining its Petrol engine.

This is not new information, come on, leave the late 90's to early 2000's…

Trying to justify it by saying these are “industry-standard established ranges based on experience” is especially fucked-up, given the strength of their resumes. He had one movie screenwriting credit and one “story by” credit prior to Crazy Rich Asians. She’d been writing for television for two decades. It’s a flimsy…

It's not a massive SUV that people dont need, but buy anyways. The American car buyers are idiots. They buy big ass SUVs, gas prices rise, they bend over and run to get small cars. Repeat process, and that's America's car industry. 

Guess what? People buy the shit out of that thing. I see more of those than Fits, which are cheaper and probably more fuel and space efficient. We do this to ourselves.

I would kill for a 5 mile commute.

Don’t care.   My commute to work is 5 miles.

For this specific car it’s probably the side view cameras maybe also the headlights the US is incredibly slow to adapt to new vehicle technology remember we required sealed beam headlights well into the late 80s

This is what Honda should be in the 21st century.

What is the economic benefit of not selling a particular EV in all markets? Crash-test regulations? Low expected sales volumes? Ill-equipped dealer server departments? I assume it is not emissions regulations.
