It looked very much like a hotel in the background —- I thought Hilton Garden Inn, but it turns out it was a Hampton Inn. Anyway, just searched ‘hotels’ on Gmap and saw which ones were right up on 294. Only took six or seven tries...about five minutes of virtual driving. I’m pretty good at finding random shit on…

I also have a ‘16 Premium and lots of other little stupid shit annoys me, like how once your Sirius subscription ends you can’t get rid of the preset and everything you scroll through the stereo modes with the steering wheel button a stupid message about subscribing to SiriusXM pops up and you can’t get rid of it…

Yeah, shit like that.

I put wider tires on my old hatchback.

hey, fuck off.

And MLK was an adulterer. What’s your point?

Fuck off. The amount of art we would have to discard, if we were to discredit those who harboured beliefs we today find abhorrent today, would leave us artistically barren the world over.

“Are you aware of a single case where Trump bowed to protests or media attacks? Better that there are open channels of communication.”

Your answer to that is “He’s right, of course. Trump isn’t known for cooperation, and has frequently disregarded his closest advisors.”

You. Are. Missing. The. Goddamn. Point!!!

If you can keep your head when all about you, Mr Musk

Soooo did you ask Musk if he was aware that Exxon under Tillerson gave billions to organizations that deliberately fight against Global Warming mitigation? That seems like a really obvious question to put to him. And if so what was his response?

After seeing the 1921 logo, I blame the Masons.

Not really Hyundai-like at all. Some familiar switch-gear placements and Infotainment graphics but other than that it’s a very different experience. Ride, NVH, materials are all very high-end. They are legitimate cross-shops for people in that market (7, S, A8, etc.) that are not concerned with the badge on their…

Let me guess though. The douche probably uses her armored car for every trip she makes?

So I understand why the drive to streamline urban transportation and also reduce smog, what I don’t understand or go along with is this extreme idea that this is the future for all mankind. That tomorrow’s future seems to further separate those who live in urban areas from those in rural areas. A notion that it would…

I’m all for a total ban on diesel, so not much I can say there... Tokyo is VERY crowded traffic-wise, yet I never have any asthma problems like I all the time have when I’m in Paris. But, then again, very few diesels are able to get registered in Tokyo, and this type of engine represents less than 5% of all registered…

I know the Cayenne and Macan pulled Porsche out of their last financial mess, but I get the feeling they are deliberately trying to get themselves into another one. You need a flowchart to make sense of the 911 range these days, its one model of car... it should not be this hard.

Yeah, but the point of CES is to connect manufacturers with distributors, or get press for new products. Not so much direct to consumer.

Yep. MANY years ago I was working at a trade show in SF. It just ended. After a few minutes and people all gone I went to unplug a keyboard and was told by a union guy that I should stop right there unless I wanted to have my arm broken.

The reason modern cars aren’t a problem (coal rolling diesels excepted) from a pollution standpoint is CAFE regs and the EPA. Manufacturers never volunteered to do the right thing.

Honestly, the guy has shown himself...almost to his detriment at times, to be too even keeled to do something like that. The man worked really hard to always come off as sensible and adult and he’s not going to tear it down just to get at Trump. Plus, taking a long time horizon view of things, that will bear him out…
