My grandmother had a pace car Corvette like the one in the leading image. I really wanted it for a while, but now I know as great as it looks it would be awful to drive.

I was going to argue with the claim in the first paragraph that 27k units is a ‘sales success.’ But, at an average transaction price of $116k, that’s $3.1B.

The original Ford Taurus. It was so different and so ‘futuristic.’ It represented the future I wanted, as a kid. Rounded, yet sharp and ‘aerodynamic.’

I fine male in a similar place. All of those stickers and interior crap can be removed easily.

I have a love/hate relationship with motorcycles and their riders. I mean, except for Harleys. I kind of universally hate them. Even though most of their riders are usually taking it easy and not being dicks, the bikes are still intentionally obnoxious, which tends to negate the good behavior.

Goddammit. That song is near perfection and you had to go and do that to it.

Musk is a despicable human being, but I roll my eyes every time I see this claim that this is any kind of bait and switch. Your get points for not claiming that new customers are suckered into a contract, though. I’ve seen that one.

I am cool with everything in this car except for those taillights. That screen is kind of odd in there. It reminds me a bit of the fiberglass monstrosities in the early 200os. But that can be changed.

I live in Asheville. Our airspace has been filthy with helicopters of all types for a week and a half. We have search and rescue, medivac, blackhawks, and chinooks carrying hummvees. They are a constant presence.

Oh now isn’t that charming?

Oh, cool. A police department known for harassing people for just walking on a sidewalk spending way too much money on something showy and useless, and pretending it’s a great idea.

See, I’m a dad. So that’s actually a benefit I didn’t think of.

I think it’s cool, but I read ‘marine grade vinyl,’ and hear, ‘the same shit used in over-priced pontoon boats.’

Oh good. My son is getting close to driving age. This is perfect. 

Are we absolutely sure Clarkson didn’t say anything else that he’ll have to apologize for later?

Vote for me and I’ll destroy jobs and make farming unsustainable for anybody but giant corporations!

You’re so close to understanding it. You’re describing literally what Robot Turds sad in his comment: that somehow a large percentage of the country thinks he’s great, when he is objectively horrible. Like, it’s not even a question. He lies boldly and obviously, he’s corrupt, he’s a mean bully, he’s an actual…

That may be controversial, but it pales in comparison to the utter catastrophe Trump continues to prove he is. Bringing that up twice as some sort of false equivalency makes the original commenter’s point for him. How anybody possibly see him as a viable choice is just mind-boggling.

I’m a little surprised at the hate this thing is getting in the comments. Like, Ford is making something very cool. They’re answering ‘what if’ and turning bench racing into an actual product. A lot of R&D is going into it. Carbon fiber, trick aero, inboard suspension.

Like I said, fight me  ;)
