I think what you did here is called whataboutism in these parts. Fuck bikers, cyclists, pedestrians, other cars and generally everyone who’s not me.
There’s a reason civilized places have laws prohibiting wheels sticking out of the car’s outline.

Mm financially comfortable white people, who likely identify as liberal or moderate (it is Austin), calling the police on Chicano/Black/etc., folks because they don’t like something they’re doing peacefully. As MLK said, ‘

BTW, I think your use of urban sprawl is incorrect in this blog. Austin is and has been a…

Reminds me of BC: Whine about the racetracks until they close, then whine that people are street racing now that there’s no tracks available.

It’s like when people buy a place under the flight pattern of the local airport and then bitch about the jet noise.

While I generally find the “all gentrification is evil” narrative pretty limited, to me this is just called: Do Your Research. Figure out what happens in a neighborhood, decide whether or not you’d be happy to live there, and then sign your lease accordingly. Don’t show up and mess with the lives of the people who…

Realistically the main things they can do are to alter the suspension tuning (much like the first generation) and maybe have a slightly different differential that locks more aggressively. Engine tuning and changing gearing sound like big investments for little discernible reward, as it’s unlikely that Subaru have…

Come to think of it, Nissan already does have a color that would look beautiful on the Z. I hope it happens.

It’s gorgeous. Now that we’re seeing colors beyond yellow, I want to know where I can start lobbying to ask for my favorite color options, orange and brown.

This is like the anti-Supra. Understated instead of over-styled, distinct nods to its heritage. Give it the 400hp TT V6 and a stick, price it in the low-40s to compete with the Mustang GT and undercut the I6 Supra, and you’d have to win hearts and minds of enthusiasts everywhere, right?

MSRP will make or break this car IMO. The Nissan Z appreciation club isn’t exactly known for their deep pockets and there’s a decent amount of stigma (not G35 level stigma, but stigma nonetheless) associated with the outgoing model.  And the brand overall, let’s face it. 

“In an unreported letter going to Biden Monday, Democratic Senators Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein called on Biden”

And high turnover is often a sign that the owner/management company sucks.

Honda was an engine supplier for F1, building exceptionally high tech hybrid engines, yet I never discerned any interest on their part in trying to use that as a springboard for their Supercar. And I wonder if bowing out of F1 is connected to the NSX. 

I hate open office. I like my companies standard layout, which the cubes are ~5' tall and desks are set up in a + with a wall between each person. They are tall enough that I can sit and work in my semi-private space, but short enough that I can just stand up and see if the person I need is at their seat. Close enough…

A cubicle farm would be a fucking dream compared to the current open-office environment.

1st: Does it really need pointing out that people who work in factories can’t build cars from their kitchen table?

1st Gear: I think a lot of companies are going to be rethinking their approach to office work after this pandemic. Most employees show increased productivity working from home, and businesses can save money by limiting office space.

I feel the same way about the HRV. I’d love to have an HRV- SI with about 200 hp manual 6 speed. 

Lobo > F150, no question. 

It all depends on what you’re looking for. IMO, hub motors (there are geared and direct-drive versions) are better for a simple, cheap build of lower power (especially if you’re putting one on the front wheel). Mid-drives are more efficient, more expensive, and can not only put out more power with better control, but…
