To be fair, there were Arabic numberals on the clock....

That got me too, what beyond “this is a clock” is needed? The only broader explanation I can even think applies is “this is a clock, I built this clock, to see if I could build a clock”.

poor grammar nazi. this must really piss you off, huh? i bet you twitch and spaz a bit every time someoneee misspells a werd tew.

I never much liked working on shade trees anyway.

I think by that time we’ll just have electric cars everywhere and be all like “remember when we had transmissions?”

One day, we’re going to see 3 cylinder octa-turbocharged engines paired to 25-speed autos. Then we’ll all be saying “the V6 is dead, long live the V6.”

Wrong. I can sum up the only reason there needs to be to buy a manual in one word. Fun.

The GTR is quicker and more efficient that most cars, but a lot of people say as fun as it is, it just doesn’t seem to have a soul, it’s not as fun to drive as many other sports cars. The auto vs. manual debate is largely the same. Is the auto quicker? Sure, but manual is a hell of a lot more fun.

I have a button on my Miata that adds a virtual 390lbs.

Automatics are faster, more efficient, and overall easier to use, no doubt.

These numbers beg the question: how long until the V8 is mothballed? I’ll say 15 years due to stringent CAFE restrictions and a TT3.0 (in addition to 10 speed transmissions and hybrid tech) that’ll pump out 500+ HP.

Glass is heavy.

This is the first time I’ve heard an actual number for their weight savings. I, too, would like to know where all that came from. 390 is a lot of weight to pull out of a car that looks to be a smudged carbon copy of it’s predecessor.

Or like R. Kelly dropping off 7 passengers.

I’d love to know more about where they trimmed out 390 lbs. That’s no joke. That’s like dropping off one very fat friend or two kinda chunky ones.

You truly are a stand up guy for responding RESPECTFULLY to this guy, but I don’t think anyone here would think less of you if you just told him to not to read Jalopnik or go fuck himself. My $0.02.

Snerk. I like you!
