Is there a sane giants fan who wants to see them win another single game this year? I’m not for tanking generally, but if you’re going to, this is pretty much a textbook place for it.  Can there be a worse outcome than, say, 6-10?

I’m with you.  I want my cheap car to look simple.  This is just all stabby angles and posturing, to me.  I’m also just not a Toyota guy.

My car is rated for 1500 pounds towing, and it’s essentially never enough for anything I’d want to attach to it. 1000 pounds is essentially nothing. That’s the same rating I believe you get with a Nissan Sentra. I don’t understand the Crosstrek at all. It’s all the weaknesses of the Impreza, after a course of steroids…

There’s nothing as racist as Washington in the NFL. I don’t care who they play or interview...

Bear in mind that in NYC, property taxes are very low per dollar of property value, and there are city income taxes for every resident. That tends to be a good thing in terms of tax revenue on the new employees and perhaps some reduction in the harm to locals as a knock on to rising property values 

I thought in the US it was “Camrys going five under the limit in the left lane, trucks in the right lane, people in the middle lane randomly changing lanes.” That’s what I see most consistently :D

Putting a stick shift in the damned forester with the turbo would be nice.  As it always would have been.  Bringing back five-door WRX’s too.

Did they build a statue of this person on horseback in a public square?  Because heroism is a rare thing.

Jesus, could everyone stop trying to find ways to get a quarterback today that lets the team go 8-8, where they can dwell forever in limbo?

I feel like anyone who does things of this nature is almost definitionally “not quite right.”  I don’t know how to pathologize it, but it’s a facet of their personality that makes them both exceptional and defective based on which lens you’re looking through.  I don’t know whether you’ve read about Hermann Buhl’s…

I feel like the degree to which they are uninspired is cast into such sharp relief by how hard the ads try to tell you it’s “fun to drive” and dwell on the 16 valves and the suspension, etc etc.  I know they have a job to do, and having some dude in a gray coverall come out and just say “We have made a car.  It’s…

All fun and games unless you live in a state where they salt the roads, and your front suspension came off the car, though they claimed the recall prevented any accidents, I know one person who totalled out their earlier Liberty after the front wheel left it’s appointed place and went on a walkabout while driving.  It…

Unibody platform engineering is crazy, craaaaaaazy stuff.

Um, $150 a pop ticky-tack tickets for bullshit offenses?  That’s how they do it where I live.

I feel a bit like the dryer comparison is more and more what cars will become as we transition to a driverless experience.  It’s all pushing in that direction, even with things as innocuous as plastic covers over all the oily bits of engines, the complete disappearance of manual transmissions from the American…

I have a 2015 Premium with a 6 speed manual. I will never understand how they offered a manual, and a sporty model with a turbo, but didn’t offer them together. That was such an utterly idiotic idea, it beggars comprehension.

It too just doesn’t have enough power, it feels sluggish, and is let down by the motor. I hope…

“Youthful.” That killed me dead.

I’m pretty stoked, really.

Last fall and winter, I enjoyed crunching through the leaves with my kid on beautiful weekend afternoons, and later on skiing in the mountains near us every Sunday morning. I’m giddy to do the same again this year, as a Giants fan I’ve been set free.

You can be too.

You have nothing to lose but…
