If you think you need to get rid of the bacteria in your stomach, go on an antibiotic for a bit and see what it does for your gut! Took me weeks to truly recover the last time I went on an antibiotic.

When the new Boston Garden was being built, Fleet Bank and Shawmut Bank were in a fierce bidding war for the naming rights. Shawmut won! Unbeknownst to the bidders, Shawmut and Fleet were about to merge, so it ended up being named the Fleet Center after all.

How much faster could have American Pharoah run? it looked like to my completely untrained eye that he had the entire race in the bag, and didn’t give it any gas until the final straight. For the entire race prior to that, it seemed like when any horse gained on him he just gave it a tiny bit more to keep them away. I…

I don’t actually agree with a lifetime ban, but the idea is tempting to me. Honestly, a mistake where a kid decides to drive too fast, or do a stupid burnout and ends up wrecking, or is doing some other ridiculous stuff is much more “reasonable” to me. You can “beat” that out of a kid. This was just pure, utter,…

That’s actually why I bought new. For the 15% I’d save off of a brand new car, it didn’t seem worth it to get something that had 3 years and 40,000 miles of someone else’s abuse. Interest rates of course factored in too.

Why would you order this option? No one who is even close to over the legal limit is driving my car. I could see a fleet vehicle having it, but for me this makes no sense as an option for a personal car. (If it were mandatory, that’s a different story.)

At least they might ensure that the 4c and its successors stay available in the US?

This is what I think of when I think of death wobble!

NFS: Porsche Unleashed was one of the most disappointing video games of my childhood. I remember the night I bought it with a friend and planned on playing it all night (12 y/o me was a lot more dedicated than current-day me). It was so bad, within an hour or two we went back to the amazing NFS: Hot Pursuit III. Hot…

Fair enough. Besides, I typically make it a point to not disagree with Pat Bateman’s.

I hold jalopnik in higher esteem than most of the other gawker sites, but it’s posts like this that remind me of whose umbrella jalopnik falls under. ;)

You’re more likely to encounter this stuff while on any gawker site than you are while on twitter.

I have the m3. I love it. I took it on a recent trip, and used it constantly. I could fit it very easily into a small pocket in my coat, or if need be could squeeze it into my pants pocket (as a male). I’m not really into photography, I merely dabble, but I’ve very much enjoyed it. I was tempted by the a6000 on…

How about any car that isn’t autonomous?

Here you go:

I find it very comfortable, but the two things I would pay attention to are how loud it is at 80mph+ (quite loud), and how well you fit in the seat. If my ribcage were just a little bit bigger, it would be quite uncomfortable. Instead, it’s perfect.

I worked at a kart track as well. I saw people on a regular basis crash into the wall at 35 mph because they just kept the throttle pinned and cut the wheel at the last second of a corner, resulting in no change in their direction. The difference between karts and cars is not the cause for the complete failures I’ve…

It’s sales weighted because it’s an attempt at pragmatic legislation, not idealistic legislation. That is, if we want to use less fuel/have less emissions, you need to control the fuel economy of our national fleet, not the fuel economy of all of the cars available for sale.

Yes, you are doing better for the environment. Our electrical grid (including its coal sources) is much much more efficient than an ICE.

Unless you’re speaking from experience, I highly doubt it. The +2 is really really a stretch. Now, I have actually used it quite a few times, on unplanned occasions, such as offering a ride to a friend instead of them taking the bus. But we’re all quite contorted to accomplish that.
