Yes, it is

the part where torture led to UBLs location

I can see some danger in presenting fiction as history, as was the case in zero dark thirty and american sniper.

I was mostly assuming, based on a neighbor’s built one. Never really looked into it

Ha, every time I see one I’m like “Small... capable... cool windows... Nah. Rather have a sidekick”

In the period where there are meaningful numbers of both ICEs and electrics on the road, the difference in low-speed noise between the two is just too big. Obviously, the regulations are going to get it wrong, and we’re going to get annoying, too-loud noises like the prius makes currently, or beeping back-up noises…

Vehicles will not need hundreds of pounds of extra sound deadening to muffle a sound that is only generated under 19mph.

Ha, I don’t even mind the second one. People will be able to buy a ‘new’ 10yo corvette for only $5k more than one that someone has actually enjoyed.

‘84

I hadn’t thought of the liability angle. Makes “just works” out of the box a lot tougher. 

To be fair, it doesn’t get dark there right now. Even just before midnight

Yeah, I’m probably doing some confusing of cause and effect.

That awfulness helps keep prices low. Yeah, they suck at commuting or sitting in traffic. They’re a hoot to take the top off, drive over some rocks (or curbs) and just generally fuck around in. Right tool for the job

I even like restomodding as a concept. I think it’s more a tastemaking thing. I don’t want vintage 4x4's to suffer the same fate as aircooled porsches.

I guess the whole singer / himalaya / icon thing is an inevitable side effect of growing income inequality, but it bums me out. Can’t old trucks just be old trucks?

Brown is tough to get right, because of the poop association. I like a cognac leather, but given how they’re using it almost as an accent against the black, they need the contrast of tan here

If there are tactile dividers between sets of 4-5, and a different tactile bump denoting the middle button of a set... It might not be that bad.

I legit wondered if parts of your original reply were ironic. Working the same job for a long while, and having multiple kids while being able to afford to save for their college funds, are like the textbook examples of boomer shit that has gone away.

This right here. That boring life that they were looking for the light at the end of... They were (financially) living a dream that will probably never exist again. They just didn’t know it.

Tesla definitely has some work to do when it comes to manufacturing, but I wouldn’t discount how hard it is to build EV’s that are competitive with what tesla is putting out right now.
