My brother and I used to start our mornings watching that scene. Just to set the right tone about how awesome we were going to be today working at one of the very first ISPs in texas.

because people didn’t know what ‘internet’ was, every interaction was a sales job. and the survival of our company meant EVERYONE was in…

I’ll point out this: the mazdaspeed in 2004/2005 was a big jump in power over the ‘regular’ car. and it didn’t sell.

Too much power for such a small car was a common complaint, and it was advertised to put out ~178HP...

Granted, less rev range (a lot less) and turbo goodness meant it was easy to wring another ~20HP out…

or we are looking at folks who run funeral homes trying to cash in... either way... this doesn’t feel written properly, regardless of your personal stance on the issue at hand.

Reminds me of this...

I have 4TB of photos... (looks at fine print...)

In texas, the radars are on 'auto'. esp if you are on a long long stretch of highway, 5-10 minutes after you pass him by writing a ticket, he will be behind you, pulling you over for doing 10 over...

This has literally been the best article I have _ever_ read on Jalopnik. Utterly devoid of guile, devoid of snide back-hands, completely, totally refreshingly in-your-face. Thank you!

Something else to consider... when things go wrong, if you don't have savings, you might never recover from it. Be it losing your job, getting sued, or getting sick. I've had to restart my retirement savings twice in my life. 14 months being unemployed wiped me out once, and a marriage that needed to be ended put a…

your welcome!

Lets read up on accounting, assets and debt. thats the best way to get educated on 'why things work in your pocket book'. For cliff notes, lets just say that a mortgage is an investment vehicle in real estate. In other words, you are borrowing money (the debt) to invest in a piece of property and the structures on…

student loans in the 80s and 90s were 12%. Of course, thanks to inflation and education prices pushing up the cost so much, the amount you had to borrow at that rate seems trivial compared to what you end up with now.

all of these have been dealt with in PC based sims... maybe the real answer is 'stop expecting racing games to be 'real'... because they are games on a console.' Asking for 'more realism' in a game is like asking for your honda to be lower/faster/more powerful... you can either blow tons of money for effect, or just…

caught a little bit of T1 mayhem from T19...

thats an old picture... we keep it in a barn now ;)

don't you get it,man? These guys aren't 'observing' younger people 'don't want to buy cars' they are TELLING them, they don't want to buy cars.

this is how you lay down the mindset that public transport is the only viable means of survival, cars are evil, and YOU DIDN'T REALLY WANT ONE ANYWAY!

Well said! The ignorance of the people who make regulations and the general pubic who suport them is simply stunning. The most expensive thing we have in our country today is Ignorance. unlike other natural resources, it is limitless.

or just maybe, (and I know it's a stretch) someone just liked the TV show and couldn't care less about anything other than the fact it looks like a car off tv...

BBC Top Gear = 3 different personalities playing off each other's personal likes/dislikes and some gratuitous car p0rn.
