Curious if you think you would be in a different place, financially, had you chosen not to go to college? Had you decided to go to community college instead of a 4 year university? Would you be that far behind without the burden of having to pay back onerous student loans?  I only ask because I graduated with a 4 year

Consenually sticking one’s penis into another’s vagina seems like the least inappropriate place to stick it.  If he had stuck it in a potato peeler, I could see your point.

Act like a grown-up and don’t get shitfaced.  

This is just nonsense. It's not as if a normal person doesn't have five minutes to learn how to change something and then make said change. I don't care how many kids you have. Childbirth doesn't turn you into a moron. 

Exactly. Why not adjust the automatic braking?  The beef about the car approaching the turn too fast and not decelerating when he let off the gas pedal sounds like a case of carrying too much speed into the corner and then booting the brake pedal to get it slowed down. Sounds like operator error to me.

My main point was to show how poorly written and edited this article is. Which is a shame as it’s a really interesting subject and a fascinating, beautiful example of understated elegance. 

I’m not being pedantic. Nor do I agree with the authors supposition that the typical person paying the equivalent of $180,000 for a car wouldn’t care if things felt cheap.

All that money, and not an iota of taste. I can’t imagine paying $2.1 million for a house and walking on the same engineered fake floating composite wood floors they have in builder grade homes and apartments.

I get it.  Unfortunately for the reader, that’s not what he wrote.

You wrote a whole intro about how the main point of the car was it’s understated opulence and attention to detail and then threw that whole premise away by saying this:

You have an 850??? I can totally see how this ties in to the story about a space-bound bag of shit.

Looks like an uglier Volvo XC40.

Restored?  That’s not what he did with that Jeep.

You’ve never fixed one properly before, why start now?

That’s a dumb question.

My uncle has one.  140 hp is plenty for this truck.  It’s not meant to break a land speed record.  My 85 Nissan 720 had 107 hp and it was exactly enough to get it moving and cruising at highway speeds.

The hood design on the Volvo 850 and P80 V/S70 is great too. You can release two catches at the hood which allows it to stand straight up. 

This was a hard game to watch. Bradley dodders on the ball like a aged-out has been who refuses to play with his face towards the opponents goal, likes to make slow, risky passes to people in coverage and for some inexplicable reason the team seems to run the offense through him. He can’t have completed more than 5

Editors? Oh, you. 

I was more or less being facetious. There was a recent article about someone dying at Isle of Mann TT and the comments were full of people claiming it was time to cancel the race. I am of the opinion that race car drivers/motorcycle riders understand the inherent risks with driving at full speed up a road with 6000
