odds are, the editor who cuts all these categories together will at least get an emmy nom

That’s fine. I still want to see that someone’s actually paid that, as opposed to that truck sitting on a lot with the asking price, while annoyed buyers walk by it in search of something more reasonable.

Nunes is gonna get yelled at for hiring those Estonians on Fiverr to build this fuckin thing

Here’s the thing: people can ask these prices all day long. You guys have featured a dozen+ of these articles decrying the ridiculous selling prices in the used car market, and while I agree, what I’d actually like to see is what used cars have actually sold for.

Not really, considering Datsun got the same basic shape earlier with the 240z. Once the Fairlady was out Mazda tried to keep up with the RX7. MK1 was indeed a pretty terrible car on the inside. Those early Wankels were a disaster.

First gen Impulse also had a Lotus handling package available, and IMHO looks a LOT better. Those cutoff headlights and awkward rear end on the second gen make for a very weirdly proportioned car.

LUSTED for one of these during my college years. The 4-lamp grille and added plastic wheel flares really add a rally car feeling to it. Reliability issues notwithstanding, I always felt like they super solid feeling inside, too.

The Panamera is a good candidate. In the flesh I always found the 1st gen to be really awkward looking, especially in the back. A misshapen, squashed Cayenne, with lumps in all the wrong places.

I’ll say it here because it would get reversed on their app, but the Truth app is definitely a doubleplusungood piece of software

WILDLY underrated comment

Panel gaps on the car still seem factory compliant

I’m not even gonna bother watching that self-congratulatory docu-advertising piece about the movie, but of all the weird entries in that slideshow, why the hell did the costumes need to be painted by 8 people at the same time? That sounds awfully crowded... like, couldn’t they take turns or something?

Years ago, I worked for awhile as an editor for Herzog Productions, who at the time was the principal producer of all of Bay’s behind-the-scenes and DVD extras. I cut a sizable portion of the BTS materials for Pearl Harbor and Bad Boys II.

Fair point. I guess I should add the argument that very few people (at least among the people I know) are keen on donning a headset and completely plugging into something like this for hours at a time. It’s a completely different experience as compared to your average social media user, who might be always…

300,000 users. Are those daily active, or are a sizeable percentage of those lookie-loos taking HW for a spin, getting bored after a minute or two, and then going back into a couple hours on Beat Saber?

OMG that last line was like a Norm Macdonald punchline.  well played LOLOLOL

they could probably do everyone a solid and cover the rising costs on their end, if they wanted to

Here’s what infuriates me the most about the NYT purchase: they’re willing to vomit $1mm+ on this game but not carve out a relatively small amount of money to continue development of their games app. On Android, they’ve been promising stats on the NYT Games app for literally 4 years, and they’ve done fuckall about it.…

I didn't get that impression.  In fact, you're the one looking pretty rough with that last jab of yours

Hell to the no. Tell you what, GIVE me this pig with lipstick and we’ll call it equal. That should at least cover the full engine and suspension swaps.
