(Full disclosure: Jaguar needed me to drive the new XE and F-Pace so badly they flew me to Colorado, a state that looks like one giant Subaru ad and is full of Texans who retire there to smoke a ton of legal weed. I’m sorry, Colorado.

Not a good day for women an the military :(

I very much support not requiring women to register for the draft (I support getting rid of the draft entirely in fact) and I’d really like for someone to explain to me why requiring women to register for the draft is somehow pro-feminist. This is very different from allowing volunteers to serve.

No I won’t Fred, I said

Man I wish I never dropped out of High School German, now I need to find a good English-German dictionary to translate what that means. And good luck trying to get Google to translate it accurately for you:

That’s why I haven’t :)

How many points will Jason take off from the review because of this thing?

I’ll see if I can find an authorship thread to link to. In the meantime you can look at this: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/so-you-want-to…

Do you have Oppo posting privs?

I just (finally) saw Captain America: Civil War yesterday where they had Tony Stark riding around in one of these without any manual controls (touchscreen interface only) and I was thinking, yeah, that can work.

Because winter alpine driving is exactly what I associate a convertible with!

What’s the spread on idiot spectator + COPS reference = COTD?

I once followed another driver and flagged her down so I can apologize to her for cutting her off and offer her cookies. True story.

For once I’m glad I’m just going mad and that random minute details made arbitrarily asymmetrical isn’t the latest styling craze.

Maybe it’s just an illusion or the angle but it seems like the grille is slightly asymmetrical. There’s a bit of a thick-ish flourish on the left side but the right side seems to be just an edge piece? I don’t know what the “technical” terms are.

Is the “empty canvas” being referred to the things covering the license plates?

Dang. Gawker gave me a reason to watch fucking Lifetime.

They probably used an older Alexa precisely because it was a demo. It’s possible the camera wasn’t even functioning to begin with. I mean, really, would you let some idiot jump up and down on the hood of a new Tesla or would you pull some pre-production mule out for idiots to jump up and down on to test out the hood?

Man, what’s with all the anti-sedan hate? Some of us actually like sedans too!

We do get a brief check-in with Yara and Theon, who have taken their boats and pirates to a Westerosi equivalent of Hooters.
