Tron, while a brilliant technical movie, is trash.

That’s how you know the difference between journalism and automotive journalism- when the writer doesn’t notice the difference between a diesel and a gas engine. A “car geek” of any sort would be excited about the Diesel part of the journey, a writer the “Escalade” part.  I think you’ve defined yourself.

How do you review a car and not know it’s a diesel?

Unless he literally goes to the authorities immediately and starts a massive (from the dollar figure standpoint) fraud investigation, then this is all staged nonsense. I get that he’s rich, but this is still $3.5 million that was stolen from him.

My personal “favorite” is when the behavior and anatomy of these fantasy creatures map to stereotypes of groups of people and we’re expected to just write this off as a wee coinkydink.

Always been a fun thing in fantasy & sci fi, people are willing to accept other races like elves, orcs, goblins, asari, krogans (just naming more famous sci fi ones), with all sorts of colour. And are usually on their side in the game/book/movie. Defending them against racism, like drow that are usually looked down…

According to C&D’s test, this is now nearly as fast as a 350z / WRX / MK7 GTI: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a38260627/10best-2022-subaru-brz-toyota-gr-86/. Quarter mile at 13.9s @101 mph. And it didn’t need a turbo or a drivetrain wrecking 6000RPM AWD launch.

I mean... if you’re on jalopnik you’re probably already old and uncool anyway so what does it matter. After a certain age and unless you’re a public figure where your appearance is tied to some concept of brand perception, at no point during the car purchase deliberation process should it being cool be something that…

Even though you’re objectively correct, 20 year olds who didn’t exist yet when the Mk4 was on sale (and have certainly never driven one) will be quick to tell you that it was the best sports car ever and had 5000 horsepower and was the fastest car to ever exist.

Traffic is so fucked right now, I basically stopped driving my Mustang because the insanity level on the road has achieve heights I never thought possible. I’ve had people pass me on the curb, on the highway, then ram over into my lane, I’ve seen lines of traffic refuse to stop for a redlight until some truck finally…

what function in a manual transmission bumps your torque from 260 to 278?  it’s basically a push to pass function.  

Have you seen one report, one video in which a French, or Italian or Russian or German speaker was told to speak English? Nope. Hmmm... wonder what it is about Spanish...

I both can and cannot believe the incredible ignorance of Trump supporters who have to spew their racist bs while being filmed knowing that they’re…

I just can’t get enthused about any of these. Almost all of them are turbocharged four-bangers, which means most of the difference isn’t personality, just numbers. Couldn’t literally any of them aimed for a supercharged, twin-charged or naturally aspirated motor, just to provide something unique?

I might be interested if there was some harder EDM or some Future Bass/Electro artists, but these artists just don’t excite me at all.

Would be nice to have some JEDM artists too. 

Nostalgic anecdote time:

Why did this actually make me laugh rather than just the typical “say lol but really just push air through nostrils”

Neutral: Counterstrike was my jam in highschool.

Obligatory...
