I know it’s a lot of fun to pick on Nissan, but I think they may have actually gotten this right... maybe. Hopefully. 

It can definitely be a challenge, that’s for sure. I’ve been working either with or for the Italians for 12 years, so I’m more or less used to how they operate. That said, my Italian colleagues do tend to work a full day. They generally start around 8:30-ish, and are often there until 6:00, but there is that two hour

Funny, I actually thought of that as I was reading the article.

I work for an Italian company, and this looks like a very Italian solution. If it were a German car, they would have designed some multi-piece articulated, electrically actuated trunk lid. The Italians? Put some hinges on the bottom, and use a piece of string so it doesn’t open too far. Basta! Now we go to lunch.

Not liking the fact that it’s a four door. I mean, I get it... people want four door trucks for some reason, but the concept looked so much better with its suicide doors. Now it’s just kind of a Ridgeline with a different “H” badge. Hopefully it at least looks cooler than the Ridgeline.

This new logo looks like butt. It’s like they’re trying really hard to look “cool” and “modern” to appeal to the “youths”, but it really comes off as looking like something you’d see on a child’s toy. I don’t like it... The old logo may have been a bit stodgy, but it was very recognizable.

Haha... Yes, the gold tub RC10 with the white nylon plastic bits. Those were the shit back in the day.

Or the rear wheel arches are actually just spray painted. Considering that it’s Chinese, either scenario is equally plausible. 

The side view of this thing is really hurting my head. It kinda looks like it’s got a growth that needs to be removed.

Now playing

The way it was explained to me - the extra long tongue makes it easier for the dump truck to dump its load without having to disconnect the pup trailer. You dump the pup trailer first, then sorta “jack knife” the trailer off to one side and dump the truck.

Harsh, but accurate. 

I would have guessed Arizona before British Columbia. 

The flight was PDX-bound according to our local news. He was probably just on his way here to score more meth.

Oh, no question. If they had continued on with the V10 formula, I have no doubt that they’d be faster than the V6's are. 

I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been east of 82nd. Shit, I rarely go east of Chavez anymore. It’s insane to me that people are willing to spend damn near a half million bucks for houses in fuckin’ Lents or Brentwood-Darlington.

The V10 era was/is easily my favorite era of F1. Yeah, they’re slower than the V6 hybrids are, but they were so much more fun to watch and listen to. I miss that sound so much. 

Or Tonya. 

I called this yesterday.

I’m just gonna go out on a limb here and make the prediction that George WILL be in that Merc this weekend, and I’m honestly stoked about the idea. Send George to Mercedes and Let Jack Aitken drive in his place. Williams doesn’t have much to lose here.

This truly is the best advice.
