Considering the era of Japan in which he grew up, it’s a miracle that we’re not accusing him of war crimes.

Does our metaphorical race to the bottom count for anything?

All the gear, all the time is a good rule of thumb but doesn’t offer much protection from raised drawbridges.

While true, I’d posit that an opaque trail of ownership means that the ship should be confiscated. The only reasons for obscuring ownership is to subvert the law, so feel free to confiscate them.

I for one am happy to see articles posted about Russian oligarchs taking a kick to the groin. Makes my day. Sorry if the same news only makes you sad.

I’m with you man. The late 90s and early 00s saw some great electronica from Pan American to Fila Brazilia to Matmos to etc and so on. I miss that era.

I was forced to sign a NDA with Tesla for something they wildly screwed up during their installation of x on our x. While I can’t tell you the specifics, I CAN tell you that they’re a bunch of greedy vampires who’d throw you down a flight of stairs in the hopes that change might fall out of your pockets.

Hard to say. The mother of all dumb trends is now at least 25 years old and is still going strong.

Ironically, this only makes me want a Jimny that much more.

Ask David Tracy or Mercedes Streeter this exact question.

I didn’t know until afterward she was on a tight budget, otherwise: yes.

My 1981 Mercedes 300SD on H&R lowering springs and later model 15 spoke wheels. Those springs were magic, curing its sagging ass and providing great handling with no compromises in comfort, the beauty of progressive springs. I sold it to a woman, a school teacher on a shoestring budget with the specific warning “if…
