To be fair, even having something built to spec used to be an issue with manufacturing in China.

To be clear, this isn’t because the US can’t manufacture electric vans for billionaires, it’s because there isn’t enough of a market for it, and the US government isn’t interested in subsidizing it.

Anyone rich bastard in the US who really wants a luxury electric van can pay a custom coach builder enough money to fund…

In my 13 years of working at a dealership, we’ve never run background checks on customers wanting to test drive a car. Obviously we can see their credit (or lack thereof) once an application has been submitted, as well as any potential red flags contained therein, but any sales consultant worth their salt would know…

No.

I have literally never been frustrated by the rotary gear selector in our Explorer. Having Park at the full left position, and Drive at the full right position, allows for you to quickly spin the dial to the end stop in either direction to put in P or D. It’s really not that hard to find R. 99% of the time you are…

I had a Maverick for almost 5,000 miles (until someone hit it, RIP) and never had an issue with the shifter.  Never shifted into Park on accident.  I think you’re trying to make a problem out of sometime that everyone gets used in in less than a day.

Jupiter’s Cock!

It’s a useful term when someone has obviously behaved badly but has not actually been convicted of anything. You can’t call him a rapist or a molester in a newspaper. If you did, he’d sue you. But you can imply that anyone who leaves their teen daughter alone with him for more than a few minutes is kind of an idiot.

BS. There’s no reason to hold back. The more political credence we give these events, the more we encourage their repetition.

They introduced the kid for a reason. I'm not sure what the rules are for the mantle of Black Panther but her character may have to die for him to take over.

This is a point I’ve made often as well. The Netflix model was good - everyone makes their stuff, screens it in theaters or on TV, then licenses it to Netflix as part of their second-run strategy. Everyone makes money and sticks to what they do well.

This is just a variation on the same old bullshit mentality executives have been relying on, and failing with, for decades.

That despite its recent uptick in quality, the A.V. Club still hasn’t hired any copy editors.

Meh, there are only about 20 actors who have total f-you money. The rest have bills to pay. I dont care

It’s called humor.

Next up will be the option of a fully-enclosed bed, aka a “trunk” and the sedan/limousine will have come full circle.

So, Yanks: how’re you gonna violently and non-consensually fuck the rest of the world in the arse this time?

This only makes sense if this person’s only experience with Buc-ee’s coincided with the buses of the Allen, Texas, high school marching band (700-1,000, depending on whether it’s their halftime or competition show) stopping at the same Buc-ee’s at the same time.

Reading the accounts of the event, the Cossacks knew why they were there - to stir some shit. And the fact that every Bandido and Cossack there was fucking armed for battle should have been a clue.

That all criminal charges were dropped shows how piss-poor the handling of the case was by the authorities.

Man. A lot of people are going to have their root canal and crown appointments canceled.
