Vinyl stickers on noses look tacky and only made worse by today’s overuse of the aesthetic, with exceptions. Much like overuse of sidewall letters on tires. I’m familiar enough with the history of Yenko and its custom cars.

I’ve been saying for years now that there is a rough sweet spot of about 400hp where any excess beyond that is completely pointless on the street. I absolutely stand by that. Tapping into any more than about that is an exercise in how often and/or how severely you want to break existing traffic laws and how seriously…

Is it just me or is that “sYc” on the nose of the car kind of... tacky.

“That drop in sales from over 25% in 1995 to less than 4% in just 13 years is a huge difference.” 

We are in a vicious feedback loop and have been for a few decades, it’s only been accelerating in recent years.

I think a stock Nissan GT-R is a good benchmark for when a car has crossed over from sensible and quick to stupid fast and pointless on the street.

TL;DR.  Saw picture of Olds for $12.5k, came in just to vote crack pipe.

They’ll have plenty of Time to commiserate with the Telltale Games devs who got the axe unexpectedly.  The software industry can be a cruel mistress.

You’re right, it was an incorrect choice of words on my part I should have said “developers” generically, not just programmers. In any case they are not the only ones guilty of it, practically every major piece of software suffers either from GUI bloat, mistaking “stripping useful features” for “ease of use”, and…

Yea he should have just been unbanned quickly and “Whoops, mistook you for another dude, sorry.” And it wouldn’t have been nearly as messy. Demanding a personal apology from Nolan or I will threaten you with social media, well whatever, probably wouldn’t have been anywhere as big of a deal if Nolan just kept quiet…

Notifications is the primary reason why I hate, hate HATE Android 8.x and above. Android 7 allowed for granular notification control at the system level which every subsequent version got rid of. So now rather than getting a simple discrete icon in the corner and perhaps an audio cue that I may or may not disable,…

I don’t think he denied them. The whole “I’ll call you out publicly on social media” does seem like an expected response though, because well he did after NolanT responded back with further escalation.

Ahh yes the strange Japanese paradox of being able to distribute the most extreme kind of taboo porn and be totally ok... As long as the genitals are blurred or have black bars in at least specific parts.

Right. They’re still available on a global market. But since this was specifically about Trump and the steel tariffs and the unprofitability in the US market, I was talking about that and not every other country.  Honestly I kind of thought that was understood.

Like the final nail in the coffin, so to speak, pretty much guaranteeing their demise where otherwise they might have opted to spare them. Cars have always been less margin than trucks, SUVs, and crossovers historically.

At 02:31: “There’s not one single dent or ding...” Right above the right side of the door handle is clearly a “dent” where the sheet metal is not perfect.

So basically Trump is responsible for killing off the Fiesta, Focus, and Fusion. That’s what I’m getting right now. Cars have less margins than trucks and SUVs, Ford isn’t passing on the cost of steel to the consumer, so the only reasonable option is to eliminate lines that aren’t making them money, not that they were…

I can’t even imagine the fever pitched rage storm that would be created if the game ever allowed non-binary or gender ambiguous characters. The internet would break. I hope they let me know when that happens so I can stock up on popcorn.

Ok, I get that it’s their hot hatch (and a downgrade from their previous 2.0l 355 HP motor, but whatever) but does it really need those tiny little vestigial front canards?
