From the looks of what? I know as well as anybody what traction control in a powerful RWD car in the wet feels like, and probably better than most. I interact with it hundreds of times per year, because I live in a rainy place, on a steep, windy street, and daily drive a C63 AMG. I’ve also driven a friend’s Hellcat…

Short answer: yes.

I’m going to test drive one before buying something else on the off chance it really speaks to me, even though I’m fairly certain it won’t. Does it count as cross-shopping if it’s that disinterested?

Things westerners would just not think to do.

Exactly.

I think what you’re missing here is that most Japanese people are no more accepting on a moral level of adult men falling in love with cartoon characters than Americans are—quite possibly less so! They just don’t see any contradiction in simultaneously disapproving of it but admitting that those people exist and…

As a frequent traveler, the main thing I’ve noticed about airports is that the security lines aren’t currently long enough, so I’m glad more people will be standing in them. Plus, any opportunity to add more people who aren’t in a hurry to get somewhere and/or have never flown before to those security lines is an…

Given the disparity between the red car that M/T says everybody got high numbers out of and the orange car M/T tested later, M/T’s reporting itself hints at the “rigged car” idea at least as strongly as Jalopnik. Occam’s razor, to me, suggests that GM’s quality control from car to car just isn’t that great.

If you’re from anywhere in North or South America, or Europe, I don’t see how it could possibly seem inexplicably foreign that a population could be mostly conservative about sex but tolerate the existence of “skeevy” things. Japanese culture just draws the line in a different place than wherever you’re from, and…

Subtle perfection.

There’s a reason people call all-seasons “three-season” tires. I legitimately don’t need winter tires—it doesn’t snow much in my city and I can usually stay home during the worst of it if it does, and if I go up into the mountains and get into a lot of snow I carry chains—but some people definitely live places where…

To be precise, “only” 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi nationals, but that does not detract from your good point.

That’s...not how the federal courts work, but go off.

He only has one younger sibling, who worked for the Trump Organization, among other business interests, and is now retired. One of his older sisters was a federal judge from 1983 (Reagan appointee) until she retired after Donald was elected president.

I much prefer this Helena.

C63 AMG: German chocolate cake. Powerful, inefficient, and too messy to be contained by lane lines or candy wrappers, but more fun than your average chocolate bar.

I look forward to FCA introducing a new Dodge Dart based on the Opel Insignia to compete with the Opel Insignia-based Buick Regal.

1. Walking off slowly when substituted in a tied game and then cursing at the fans when they boo him for it is not a good look, even if

Surely you could work something about Xhaka being the son of an Albanian former political prisoner into that.

At this juncture it seems possible that Quinn might go down as another example, despite the Super Bowl appearance.
