So, if the festival is ‘AfroFuture’, and the intent seems to be an event that creates a ‘safe space’ (i.e exclusive) for POC, then why not just go all Jim Crow and deny entry to Non-POC Chads and Beckys at the gate? If you resent them being there, (as the comments about AfroPunk suggest). Just ban them. Instant safe…

No you dont have to be jealous, but it does help if they do something actually ‘awful’. I’ve seen video on 4chan of inner city kids setting fire to kittens for laughs. That was downright awful. These guys are just self important narcissists with large bank accounts. Would I hang out with them, nah, I’m good. Would I…

I live in central NJ (near some of the pricier zip codes), and the newer G-wagens are one of those cars that, at least around here, you can profile with a fair amount of certainty as follows: It will be black, with all the available options and the driver is likely to be a 30-40 something Jewish princess with long…

Keating takes a slightly more mature view of things, and basically says, ‘My bad, we were responsible for making sure we had a valid margin of error, and we didn’t.’

As someone who’s first car was a 72 Celica, which I loved, I never really liked the looks of these Celicas. I thought they were kinda meh, from a styling standpoint, an it always struck me that the factory wheels on them always looked to small for the wheel wells. Sorry for the hot take. Otherwise its tres cool they…

I saw a High Ace up in Kennebunkport that was brought over from Sweden (had Euro plates) . It had been converted into a camper inside and was raised up with knobby tires. It had a roof rack, off-road lights and was a manual transmission version. It was kinda like a Japanese Westfalia Synchro, and I totally wanted to…

Hannah Gadsby calling out Louis CK in June of 2019 for shit that came out in 2017. Stay edgy Hannah. Or maybe get a manager that doesn’t book you on TED talks.

Around 1960 or so, my Dad, who was an engineer for Bendix built a scaled down jeep for my older brothers. The body was made out of plywood, frame out of two by fours. Look all the work like a shrunken jeep, probably about 1/2 - 2/3 scale. Had a fold down windshield, horn, a 3-spd transmission out of a Crosley, chain…

The best XJ6's are the ones that have already had an obligatory engine fire, and had the straight 6 lump swamped for a SBC. I recall back in the day there was a company (or two) that specialized in SBC motor mounts and conversion kits for these, since it would be going to mate up to a Hydromatic 3 spd anyway.

I voted NP, with a thought that it would be a NP for the guy who ‘ought’ to buy it, that is someone who has owned an 308 before and is a home mechanic comfortable with doing the needed maintenance. You should presume this car has not had the timing belt done in the proscribed interval (is it every 20K on these?), and…

Really not going to care much when this company goes under. Subsidies are the only thing that allowed it to get this far. 

As a white dude, I am totally on board with what she did; that was a man in search of an attitude adjustment, I’m glad she obliged. The rest of the restaurant should have joined in. PS that article was funny as hell.

Throw some snows on it and make it your winter car. You other clowns who want a zero issues W124 wagon for under $3k?? rub a lamp, or just suck up doing a grand or two of DIY repairs.

Always wanted a nice 97 GT. Loved those wheels and I think that was the last one with a forged crank (?). 

I bought a new 1998 jetta 2.slow 5-spd, and other than the anemic output of the motor, it was objectively the best car I ever owned. It was a left over at the end of the model year and the dealer discounted the snot out of it. I loved that car, solid as a tank and dead nuts reliable. I replaced the timing belt twice,…

“Oh, and you can’t access the engine without literally taking the entire rear of the car apart.”

I think if I had started at David’s doorstep at the same time he left, with a back pack, using just hitchhiking, I could have been there already. :)

The amount (and limited number of sources of) cobalt and other rare earth minerals required for EV batteries will be the eventual choke point for allowing them to become ubiquitous on a global scale, even if you can solve the other power distribution and related issues. Cobalt is a critical component for EV batteries.…

These things look like a terrific way to die in a moderate speed collision, pinned against the steering column and sprayed with flaming gasoline while disinterested Russian onlookers film your demise with 20 year old cell phones for LiveLeak.
