Though I’m guessing the amount of slipping necessary is going to depend a lot on the bike itself, right? I’d think most modern touring and cruising motorcycles wouldn’t have much of an issue (after all, what idiot can’t ride a Harley these days?), but I’m not a rider. I just know that when I was growing up riding…

200 pounds!??!?! I knew it would come with a weight penalty, but holy smokes. Without some extra power, this seems to essentially relegate it to lifestyle vehicle status.

Company of Heroes, man. What a fuckin’ game. I typically hate competitive RTS play - it’s too fast and furious and frenetic for me. It’s just not my cup of tea. CoH took that formula, slowed it down by a factor of 4, and made unit diversity a hard requirement in all but the most extreme of circumstances, avoiding most…

Yeah, there are a lot rose-tinted glasses being worn when it comes to this car’s looks. If you aren’t looking for the retro lines and cues, this is An Ugly Car. If you are, great - you do you. But I’m firmly in the donotwant.gif camp over here. Saw it in person at the LA show and I’ve seen better looking Italian at…

Love me a vintage Spider. For the life of me, I cannot find a flattering angle on the new one. The retro vibe just feels so forced.

It almost seems too cheap. Clean bajas generally go for $5-7k. This seems oddly palatable for $3800.

My boss asked me what games he should play to get the most of out his new 970Ti card and PC build. I said The Witcher 3. He told me The Witcher 3 looked boring.

Oh, it’s got the cloud? Well, that’s good. Can’t have a next-gen car without the cloud. Everybody’s using the cloud these days.

For $5000, he definitely meant a 2.3-16. I was not referring to recent imports. Also, you’re thinking of standard 2.5-16 models. The Evo 1 is incredibly rare, only 502 were ever produced. No one is letting one go for $25k.

I won’t lie. As a huge fan of Mercedes of this era, that looks... awful.

Moar wing.

The 2.5 Evo was never sold in the US and was a very limited homologation special. I’m guessing you mean the standard 2.3-16.

I wish Mercedes had made more of these. Weren’t they ludicrously expensive, or was that just the Evo II?

Oh, so a PRHT. Not a coupe, got confused there for a second. Nah, I’ll stick with my soft top.

I love that Porsche enthusiasts are the first to jump to jealousy as the reason when someone criticizes Porsche. It is truly hilarious. I’m jealous I can’t afford a $50,000 CUV? OK, sure. That’s clearly it.

Correction! Porsche does have automatic emergency braking.

Any “luxury” car (frankly, any car) in 2016 costing over $40,000 should be coming standard with LED lighting all around. LEDs aren’t made of liquid gold. They last far longer and use loads less power. Xenon headlights were all the rage... in 2005. And oh boy, lane departure warnings! The one smart driving feature that…

Eh, doubt the Toyota agreement is an exclusive deal. Mazda will also be building the 124 Spider for Fiat already, and so there’s an existing partnership in place with FCA.

Clearly this is exactly what I’m saying except for the part where I never said or even remotely implied that.

HARUMPH GRUMPF THIS IS WHY I DON’T VALET LOOK AT ME I’M SUCH A RESPONSIBLE PERSON UNLIKE THIS GENTLEMAN HARUMPH I GUESS YOU SHOULD BE GLAD YOU HAD VALET MODE AM I RIGHT BUDDY?!?!
