The XE was fine. The problem was, nobody is going to drop $50k+ on “fine”.

Sucks that you got snitched on, but use it as the fire for WrenchFest 2020.  I look forward to the progress.

Yep. But that’s my point. That’s EXACTLY the point.

Like I’ve said: Trump, unfortunately, perfectly represents modern America.

They want to kill people.

What is it with douchebags not wanting to wear masks. I just read this story about the governor of Nebraska withholding relief money:

Fu#k me I hope that’s not real

That’s a really good point, stancing puts lots of force on the suspension components and frames that could easily fatigue or cause failure that is hard to see visually (without a lift).

I really like these cars, and I’m sure this one is a blast to drive.
But. The stickers, exhaust, and tree stuff all over the car tell me it has been absolutely flogged. I’d be willing to bet those low miles have not been easy on it at all, and the next owner will have to deal with that eventually. CP from me.

*edit*…

Auto start/stop on a manual. Gross

Did you watch any of the videos?  I'd say the sound was pretty fucking loud at the source.

If Hollywood has taught me anything, the next action movie will feature a monster/alien/meteor/tornado/huge mechanical robot that specifically targets the bridge because of the noise.

If pedestrians cannot walk across the bridge for fear of going deaf, I'd say that pedestrian protection system is working better than could be hoped for.

Tom Hanks Black Jeopardy SNL skit.

It’s parody- one of the better SNL skits of the last few years that I’ve seen.

Nah, they’re completely useless. This is a Type-2 civilization. Slow, large land transports that have minimal defenses are dumb. They’d even be dumb deployed on Earth’s modern battlefields.

Nah, tanks today in our military are phasing out and we don’t have nearly the tech they do. They have the tech to make a heavily protected ship that could go down there. You want a really slow, tall thing walking towards something for half an hour? A lot of SW makes no sense.

Idk, why even have ground vehicles when a big ship can not only do a good job from space but could fly down to the surface as well. I’m a Marine with combat experience, slow with a huge profile is not a great idea. 

“Notice, they never say “I” need to get back to work, or even “we” need to get back to work.”

What it boils down to is that we fucked up. As in we royally fucked up. And its not just because we have a total idiot for president and not only because a bunch of white supremacists are storming the capitals. Its ALSO because of what everyday Americans are doing. When other countries locked things down they REALLY…
