Me: “I would never cough up a grand to drive a Mazda for a day.”

I’d feel bad if the “victims” were completely blindsided by any of this, but (as a cog in the belly of a global conglomerate who does a ton of business in China)—they knew exactly what the “price of doing business” was in China before they started, and the big three dove in anyways, because they still make a shitton…

And then do what in the meantime since you can fuel a car and change the tires in under 3 seconds? Hang around for a chat?

Sitting with an F1 engine strapped to your crotch and launching it down the lane as you’re literally dropped off a set of jacks?

If it makes you feel better, most of the designers I know agree with you. Haptic controls work better for car functions, period.

Real story: this Fiat engine is so great, it keeps running even if you fill it with concrete

Absent a neutral third party with access to all of the information (watchdog group, industry/trade organization, government agency, etc) who could tell them, there’s no way in hell RV manufacturers are going to get together and swap technical notes on anything. You can land in all sorts of trouble both with your…

Hardest thing to do in design: make something simple look good. More elements give you more to work with — but almost always adds more stuff that’ll look dated in a few years (methinks the modern Civic will not age well).

“If you can’t make it good, make it big — and if you can’t make it big, make it red.”

Nice cocking kid, don’t get shooty

Not with that attitude

GotG sells itself on the character interactions/comedy. The plot is honestly just an excuse...I contend that a Guardians sitcom set in an intergalactic coffee shop outside of Mega Central Space Park would be almost as good.

Stormy Daniels’ 60 Minutes interview was the highest-watched episode since Barack and Michelle Obama’s first post-election interview in 2008.

B-but...but but....grounded to the ground?

Nothing says “offroad ready” like constipation

“the siping process we use would be too expensive and time-consuming.”

“Why the hell would they—ohhhhh so you can’t leave shit on when you’re gone”

Disparaging stands out to me; I suspect that might be the real crux of the thing. If Sam (hypothetically) decides to go drifting through intersections in a “Domino’s” car, the company has a big problem on their hands. I’m not surprised they don’t want it out in the wild in any way that might be associated with them —…
