With Apple, the i (first used for iMac in 1998) stood for “internet”. The whole selling point was that it would go from the box to the internet in 30 minutes. This was a time where getting online was not intuitive at all for the vast majority of people, so it made a lot of sense to make it part of its name. It also…

I always dug the 1999 240Z Concept, personally. I remember being a little disappointed, styling-wise, when the final look of the 350Z was unveiled. I was hoping it would look more like the concept.

Oh man, what a deal! That’s my dream truck right there. Well, if it has 4WD (I’d need to stick a plow on it for doing my driving and, on occasion, help out with the road). Just something super basic and small, but can plow and tow a small trailer with a ride-on mower, and can easily have a large piece of furniture or…

Ugh. It’s just another unit.

“As automakers shift from horsepower to kilowatts to comply with stricter environmental regulations...”

Looking forward to the eventual N-Gage port. Come on Mario 64 community, make it happen! (dead serious, I still have an N-Gage QD lying around with a 128MB MMC card. I can’t image a 120 star run would be possible on it, but I’d at least give it a try!)

I played Hot Pursuit 2 quite a bit on my friend’s PS2 when it came out and absolutely LOVED it. So much so that we actually never touched Tokyo Xtreme again. I didn’t have a PS2, but I ran out and got NFS:HP2 as soon as it came out for Xbox and... I was EXTREMELY disappointed. The PC/Xbox/GameCube version SUUUUUUCKED.…

Oh, absolutely! Heck, I’m checking for 718/Boxster/Caymens on all the car sale sites on at least a weekly basis. It’s just, I’d rather have a new Z4 over a new Supra.

And, although beauty is subjective, as far as I’m concerned the BMW Z4 is so much nicer looking. The Supra offers absolutely nothing to me over the Z4. Nice looking, manual transmission, updated infotainment, and convertible. It’s all pluses for me!

My nephew does this and it drives me crazy because he can’t reach the stick or the Z very well. He actually asks me “how do I hold this again?” pretty much every time he comes over. I mean, he’s 13! I know controllers had gotten substantially better in the 2000's, but I don’t think the N64 3-pronger is that foreign of…

I’ve come to terms that I probably won’t be able to buy another new manual sports sedan from a dealership. I just wish that they didn’t make it so damn hard to manual swap these cars now. All I’m asking from the manufactures is just a sliver of effort on their part, just a few lines of code that a swap-shop could…

Years ago, I came up with a, what I think, fairer way of appointing judges. Each presidential term the president nominates two judges to be added to a list which is approved by the senate. One judge when they first take office and another judge two years in. Once added, they will essentially be in line for the next…

Hell, see Tesla. Looking at it, there’s nothing that screams “Futuristic Electric Car”. It’s a nice looking car that happens to be electric.

The other question is “Who does Rowling give her money to?” Other than lacking trans people, there isn’t anything transphobic about Harry Potter (I think). If she donates to anti-trans organizations, there’s no way I’m knowingly giving any of my money to anything she profits heavily from (I mean, there’s only so much…

All you need is a few Alpha “Cletuses” to buy in and the mentality would shift over night. Get some NASCAR drivers and Country singers to endorse it along with a clip of an F150 EV winning a tug of war against two Silverados or RAMs or one of each (if it’s capable of out-pulling two ICE trucks at the same time, that…

If they want to charge $70 for retail copies, fine, I get it, but they BETTER NOT charge that much for digital downloads. On their respective digital stores, they don’t have to compete with the used market and I don’t get the option of trading the game in when I’m done with it. It’s a HUGE savings for them if we buy…

I would have been fine if they teamed up with someone else for this car like Mazda/Fiat and Toyota/BMW and Toyota/Subaru (though that one’s not so much of a team up as much as it is a leverage) did. If they weren’t so far down the toilet, this could have been a perfect opportunity for a Nissan/Mitsubishi partnership…

Oh, I thought the 2L was only available outside the US, but you’re right, we did get it here. Every one I’ve seen has that 3.0T badge on the side!

I’m definitely OK with it being heavily facelifted vs being clean sheet. The Z isn’t broken, just a little outdated. This design (primarily the interior) brings it into the 2020s without throwing away nearly two decades of chassis refinements. I wonder if they’ll have a detuned version like the Q60. In that car you…

Right. It just keeps going forward and back until it reaches the curb. I wonder how many turns it would need if it had two feet in front and two feet in back.
