That’d be from the Rubicon-class, yes?

The Tracy

I have a close friend that’s a higher-up at Boeing. She is dying to get out of there. The culture of cutting costs and not listening to engineers has destroyed the company and everyone’s morale. It’s also destroyed the once sterling innovative culture they had - I feel bad for the engineers and pilots that poured…

Frankly, your statement above, along with all your other writings on unions, leads me to believe that there is no argument anyone could make that could away you. You’ve made up your mind, and shut down any objectivity regarding the subject.

“The UAW kind of sucks, but it is still a union, and therefore inherently good.”

so was i alone in thinking he was obnoxious, seemed to be from a completely different show and unfunny?

You had me till the last sentence, and then you failed big time. BMW owners don’t care what’s under the hood as long as it has the badge? Implying that BMW owners neither care about the dynamics of the car or the environment is a lazy stereotypical response I’ve come to expect from the writing on this site.

It’s a comfortable car that can be had with a variety of HP flavors. It doesn’t always have to be about “riding on rails” handling. We’re undoubtedly heading towards an electric self driving future, so enjoy these types of cars while you can.

Why mess with success? It’s a comfortable car that can be had with a variety of HP flavors. It doesn’t always have to be about “riding on rails” handling. We’re undoubtedly heading towards an electric self driving future, so enjoy these types of cars while you can. 

One could make a pretty good case that Russia—a country that assassinates dissidents abroad, backs regimes that use chemical weapons against civilians, and intentionally bombs hospitals, is the bad actor here. One could also make the case that Russia needs to be punished for violating the treaty, and the U.S. is…

I would add this excellent comment, every time I saw a stupid smart car, I wanted to push it over.

The stupid smart car failed because it’s stupid.

Let’s be honest here, they’re pieces of shit as well. 

They’re kind of a low quality bogan chariot with a big shouty engine, unfortunately. This one seemed to handle itself quite well though. I couldn’t help but notice that, despite it being a slush box, it had the sequential shift option mapped the correct way. Very rare and very cool that Holden did that

I wish more people knew the SS (or Holden Commodore)

“This is not the Serenity you’re looking for”

Read car salesman takes advantage of elderly person- now if they offered it for this price then no, but if they were looking for ‘offers’ and he swept in showed them a blue book value and paid it he deserves to be sentenced to a long period of searching for 10mm sockets in a field of poison ivy

Retouched or not that’s a lot of scratch for a car that debuted for under $70k, over a decade ago...

What kind of “experts” don’t suggest a Honda Accord Sport 2.0T which is a similar motor to the Type R.   Comes in a Manual Transmission and is a great family sedan and what I’d expect would be Honda reliability. 

Let’s not forget the time he sang about seagulls!
