And in real-world use, it will probably end up being even worse. Yes, definitely give me the largely untested and significantly more complicated twin-turbo I6 instead of a big dumb lumpy V8 that’s essentially been around since the early 60s.

“Unfortunately, this downward spiral came with a bunch of self-destructive coping mechanisms, including hundreds of dollars of in-app purchases, lots of fast food, vaping, and over-drafting her bank account.”

The solution is to sell the car and get out of debt with a cheap used car she can actually afford. The solution is to not buy a new car, because she can’t afford it. As I wrote in the article.

Steve Matchett talked about this a lot in The Mechanic’s Tale - not only do teams need to know about every part, and track it in terms of space (in inventory, installed in car, etc.), but every such part is tracked in terms of # of race hours, any incidents the car experienced, etc.

Tattoo lines don’t stay perfect as the ink diffuses out, this thing probably won’t work in a year or two. 

The two that I care about to pay extra for are heated seats - I’ve got back problems and I use them year round, it really helps - and satellite radio - FM reception in New England is poor in general and AM is fine for news, but doesn’t have much music. Forget cell service - it barely works around here, so streaming…

It’s an Australian window tint name, the only one I know off the top of my head.

Any Truck, SUV or Jeep with giant wheels and rubberband tires.  

I can’t I spent my extra 11 grand on Ed Hardy shirts.

Uh-huh. And if Dodge offered such a garish wrap screaming “CHARGER” all over that hot 4-door Hellcat as a Last Call edition, I bet Jalopnik would’ve pissed ‘n’ moaned to no end about how gauche it looked.

Yes you can, and the power works both ways. I have had underlings initiate relationships, then later threaten to go to HR (light blackmail) when I wanted to end it.

IF she was trying to blackmail him, suspending her would be relatilatory, approproiately so. 

So, here is the thing. We do not know the details, correct? So if this accuser was seen as trying to black mail him or raise accusations over something that was not wrong wouldn’t that lead to them being in trouble?

Trotting out my corporate-speak, I just don’t see a rational use case for this. If you’re scrounging in the bargain bin for a car to be driven in, can you even afford a driver–not to mention the upkeep? If you run a limo service, this will have limited utility with only two seats in the back. And who would want to…

Meh, you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill. Given how Dodge has wrapped themselves so tightly around the burbling cross-plane V8 performance for so long, they had to do something to differentiate themselves from the rest of the EV manufacturers. And that “something” boiled down to trying to play up the rebel…

The 959? But wait, yesterday Bradley claimed that the 959 was nothing more than an 911 with a bodykit.

Knowing F1 it will continue to drag along, and even the mere suspicion hanging over Horner, his presence in the paddock representing the current World Championship team is a detriment to the credibility of the team and the sport.

How do we even know that? For all we know, she fully supports her husband.

This is news to be sure.  But as a site “Obsessed with the Culture of Cars,” couldn’t you at least write articles about the races, too?  Jalopnik used to write great articles before and after each race.
