Putting on my evil temptation hat: Where is the layer of rust over every panel? Don’t you need more rust just to feel complete?

I wonder if a Tata factory building Nanos would have been deemed essential, or if it’s only cars for wealthy people.

I can not possibly be the only person who immediately wonders if there will be wagers involved in this.

That’s another conspiracy theory out there. The CIA killed all the birds and replaced them with surveillance drones years ago. Search for “birds aren’t real”.

People thinking 5G cellular causes COVID-19 is real, enough so that in some parts of the world workers installing cellular tower equipment reportedly get harassed by randos.

Chemtrails are a myth meant to distract us from the REAL conspiracy of bird drones.

Perhaps they are concerned about 5G cellular causing COVID-19 and wifi radiation weakening their immune systems.

Products that were aimed at rural areas of the US used to have lots of “finger tight plus X” instructions for the same reason. Most people don’t carry a torque wrench and full set of sockets when they’re heading in to the woods or rolling through their fields.

I had one that was fixed by luck. The ECU was occasionally zeroing itself, which would do things like give me a check engine light with a code that didn’t reflect reality or put all the emissions sensors in to “not ready” status. The dealership would probably have been randomly replacing things for a few more weeks if…

Apple did it in software with MacinTalk, but people weren’t playing a ton of games on Macs at that time.

I don’t have much faith in those NASA projects not being cancelled over the next few years. And that makes me very sad.

I don’t think COVID-19 has made a big change in how consumers want to buy cars. I think it’s just forcing the car industry to accept it because right now enough people won’t buy otherwise. I also think it might be a one-way change, but I can’t say for sure. As long as you’re haggling over price, US dealerships are…

In my case, COVID-19 has relieved me of the need to flee to my vehicle. I used to use it as my escape from the horrors of being in an office - everything from personal phone calls and interviews to just stopping myself from wanting to strangle somebody or call a lawyer. Now the only thing I do with it is drive.

Really, can’t you sleep in most vehicles if you’re small enough? There just always needs to be an asterisk with a tiny note.

Well... it is not only California, but the Bay Area.

OK, so toaster strudels and pop tarts are out, but does NASCAR’s policy include brown sugar on instant oatmeal? What about syrup on eggos? The cinnamon and sugar pattern on cinnamon toast? Do they not realize they need to be specific about these things?

I never visit family for the holidays, so no.

Fair point, if you’re buying expensive clothes anyway then the cost isn’t much different. Any time I buy clothes I can’t stop thinking about all the other costs those dollars would cover. For my purchased non-work clothing, I mostly have the cheapest things that fit from clearance racks at Wal-Mart, so logos were…

Doesn’t F1 still come across as kind of a rich European thing to a lot of people? In that context, complaining about somebody else’s human rights record, even one as bad as Saudi Arabia, sounds a little hypocritical. But either way, it would be purely a business decision, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help anybody.

Most of the logo-bearing clothing/accessories I own is stuff that I got for free or at clearance sales. I also don’t plaster my car with stickers, nor do I care enough to specifically remove the typical non-intrusive dealership tags.
