Actually, dipshit, I'm the one that said I was born and raised in Los Angeles. Read the thread again, lest you embarrass the education system of your beloved city.

I don't mind the small-town feel; in many ways, Los Angeles is much the same. It's a huge place geographically, but when things are so spread out, different areas develop their own little small-town feel, despite being part of a much larger overall city.

Psst... he's not the one that said he was a Los Angelino.

No, disparaging it would have been to say that Pittsburgh is a rat-infested shithole full of self-righteous assholes and the worst goddamned sports fans in the United States of America.

I've been several times, and I still wouldn't want to live there. It's not that it is necessarily a bad place to per se, but it's just a hard place to fit in for me - and that's coming from a born-and-raised Los Angelino that had zero problems fitting into Boston. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why, but the city just…

Interestingly, the only two of those cities I would want to live in are Stockholm and Vienna. There isn't a city in China you could pay me to live in - issues like non-breathable air (!), non-potable water (!), and rampant, systemic corruption are problems for me. Canada and Chicago are too far north for me, though I…

Keep going! Your goal is closer than you think! [No, it isn't]

Still trying? That's the spirit! One day, your dreams will come true!

I do, in fact. Hence the usage. This is actually getting kind of fun, though, I must admit. Watching you try desperately to not be wrong is mildly amusing. By all means, keep going.

Oh look! Another straw-man argument!

Actually, no, Cadillac does not have dealers in Europe. Small numbers of Cadillacs are made available through GM dealers there, but they do not have dedicated dealers any more.

"Do Lexus and Infiniti keep talking about competing with the germans?"

Nice attempt at a straw-man argument.

Here are the 2013 sales US numbers for several large, premium SUVs:

If it takes being annoying as all hell to get people like this to do good things with their massive amounts of excess cash, and inspire others like them to do the same, then I'm all for it.

"Tell me about it"

So, you bought a twenty-year-old car, that probably wasn't maintained as it should have been (very, very few cars are, no matter what the seller/inspector says), and happens to be one of the early models of the generation, and you're surprised and annoyed that you have to replace basic parts like the alternator and…

Hi Uwe,

Does it have the same proportional measurements as Brooklyn Decker? It looks like it does.

More than anything else, Hot Wheels has been about the power of imagination. Sure, Matchbox and Johnny Lightning cars were always vastly more realistic and could be found in varieties approximating the cars that you might see on the street on any given day. I like that, and I have an old collection of Johnny Lightning…
