I don’t know about you, but I’m a car enthusiast, not a traffic enthusiast.

If you’re going to be mixing it with Coke anyway, you could use a cheaper smoky Scotch. Bowmore comes to mind.

Because sometimes I like to listen to things. You know, consensually.

I’m looking forward to reading this but could have done without “OK, SO I’M HERE AT THE JUNKYARD” blaring out of my speakers the moment I opened it. Autoplay videos are fucking intolerable.

Interesting you bring up Brazil, which is run by a fascist who has publicly endorsed extrajudicial murder by police as a legitimate law enforcement tool and has one of the worst criminal justice systems on the planet. Even in the jungle-y parts, you’d experience a much higher risk of being a victim of a crime and of…

I didn’t say they only arrest the bad guys. I said worrying unnecessarily about an undeniably outdated and troubling justice system that you will almost certainly never encounter (unless you really make yourself a target) is a terrible reason to avoid going somewhere you’d really like to go. I assume you drive a car…

How badly are you planning to behave when you visit? They have a very high conviction rate but a very low rate of arrests. Which is to say, yes, if you get into the justice system, your odds are not good, but if you behave yourself reasonably well there’s next to no chance you’ll ever encounter it.

He might be of Cuban descent—lots of Cubans went to the Soviet Union for education or work.

Imagining this humorless scold as a parent gives me the willies.

If you were an actual parent, rather than a humorless dipshit, the obviously tongue-in-cheek “feline child” theme (it even ends with a joke about feline property destruction, you semiliterate nitwit) would probably strike you as funny: ruefully joking about the relative appeal of pet ownership after getting stuck with …

The lawyer standing at Ms. Giuffre’s elbow is the same one who, as the New York Times put it, “was personally involved in an undercover operation to smear [Harvey] Weinstein’s victims and deceive Times reporters,” so she certainly has knowledgeable representation.

If anyone wants me to check this out for them in person, it’s very close to me. It’s also been for sale for at least 18 months. Cool car, albeit not really my cup of tea.

If by “whole country” you mean “substantially less than 10% by area,” sure. Even Russia arguably owned more (Alaska).

I actually think my (N/A) C63 does too, but it sure seems like they’re open on startup because it makes an almighty bark every time.

This feature was not necessary on naturally-aspirated AMG cars, as my neighbors know all too well.

Goddamn right.

I agree that the AI sucks but this is the easiest racing game I have ever played in my life. It’s MarioKart, not Gran Turismo: it’s OK if the physics are cartoony—it’s a game where you get squirted with ink by flying squids! It has never taken me more than two tries to get first place in any race at 150cc. Of course,…

FCA’s workers can sue FCA too. There’s nothing about GM’s claims that prevents that.

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.
