I thought we all had Miatas and wagons here!

“Is there a reason for 2 identical tasked vehicles?”

Last I looked (some time ago, I’ll admit), KBB still marked cars with manual transmissions as worth less than cars with automatics. I’ve bought and sold at least a dozen cars with manual transmissions, and every single one has carried a premium over an automatic transmission car. This Kelly person is living in an…

I’m about at the same place. Finally ponying up for that same Shoei last year has made me realize what I was missing by still using bargain bin gear from 15 years ago. A nice suit has been creeping up my want list.

Was this reply even for me? You seem to be confused about what I said.

Remember that false equivalency thing I mentioned above? You just demonstrated it pretty well. One of those protests inconvenienced and annoyed people. The other probably spread a disease that is quickly working its way to becoming the leading cause of death. Neither of those impacts should be taken lightly, but they…

Maybe I missed something... Did Black Lives Matter have an organized, in-person gathering during a worldwide pandemic? If so link to some coverage here, and we’ll all happily call them idiots too.
Otherwise, GTFO with your false-equivalency bullshit.

“No, surely the head of research and development would not go on to say in his very next answer why Porsche’s approach to electric, actually, is better than Tesla’s. No! There’s no rivalry here!”

As I said in another response, I was shopping for a Cayman when the 718 came out. I’m one of the many that thought the new engine was a downgrade, but it had nothing to do with the cylinder count.

As someone that was shopping for a Cayman at the time the 718 came out, I can confirm that the cylinder count wasn’t what turned me away from it. I just really prefer the throttle response of a NA engine in a sports car.

Oh yes, they’d throw a fit. And then they’d get over it and buy them anyway. With 0% down over 114 months. Because in the end having the newest and “best” is more important to most buyers than the count and position of the cylinders.

I think the Mustang and the Wrangler are the perfect demonstration: This applies to almost no cars at all.
If a new model properly captures the spirit of the original, people will get over a change in engine configuration. The purists will throw a fit for a little while, and then they’ll get over it. Because an engine…

Who says this hypothetical person’s actions don’t reflect it? That wasn’t in Mr. Dubble’s description.
But even if he doesn’t put his money where his mouth is, execution and robbing his family’s assets seems a little extreme.

Harsh punishment for sharing empathetic sentiments there.

I never called you racist. The first one I saw do that was you. But if I had to guess, I’d say those that followed your lead are doing so less because you object to Kanye’s language and more because you pretend not to see a difference between his and Larson’s situations and behaviors.

“No one is saying ‘Kanye and other musicians need to stop saying the n-word’...”
*citation needed

I said nothing of the sort. But I’ll go ahead and spell it out for you. Larson got fired for it, because the people writing his paychecks weren’t okay with it. They don’t want their brand name literally written across the chest of somebody that behaves that way in front of a large audience. Kanye hasn’t gotten “fired”…

Do McDonalds, Credit One Bank, and Chip Ganassi keep a relationship with Kanye?

Lots of people use a phone for this, as Thomas describes. I personally don’t like that solution. Too often I need my phone to be doing something else, or it’s busy getting charged.

Yeah, they made this way more complicated than it should have been. I know this isn’t UBI, but it’s clearly analogous to it. And part of the beauty of UBI is its simplicity. Simplicity makes it easy to implement and, just as importantly, easy for people to understand. See those big lists of bullets up there? That…
