Too soon.

100% correct take.

The 70s weren’t all that bad.

I’ve been a B’s fan since several years before Bobby took Derek’s feed, launched from Noel Picard’s stick, and brought the Cup to Beantown. But (and especially) since this was not an outcome-determinative missed call, I agree with the “play til the whistle” school.

Hey Lady:

One of the inherent NP/CP problems with this self-selected group of people paying attention to cars (in the actual analog world, not just here in Digitopolis) is we tend to overvalue/undervalue cars on the basis of enthusiasts’ interest. I suspect we also approach NP/CP from the “do I want that car?” perspective. I…

That looks 70s to me, not 60s. The 70s were when the commercial establishment started stealing 60s counterculture visuals to sell things to people who wished they had tuned in, turned on, and dropped out, but went to business school instead. 

This Camaro has shoulders up to its hat. It’s as if someone drew a savage parody of a ponycar, threw it away, only to have Chevy find it and mistake it for a gift from the Gods of Design.

1st Gear: GM, Trucks, China, all that crap

This seems ridiculous, until you accept that cops live in a world of irrational, misapprehended, exaggerated fears. That’s why they kill people who stop to talk to them. (Justine Ruszczyk )shopping (John Crawford) playing in a park (Tamir Rice) ‘splaing to them (Philando Castile)

Sadly, I have seen cases where the outcome was suspect for reasons which had little to do with the facts or law, and…

I guess more information about that would help uninformed readers understand this story better

I am always suspicious when I read stories about legal proceedings, especially criminal proceedings which have seemingly shocking outcomes, that the writer has overlooked some outcome-determinitive fact which makes the court’s decision more rational than depicted. Print journalism is no less susceptible to…

Another SEP (Somebody Else’s Project) It’s a very interesting kind of SEP. but that’s like admiring somebody else’s pet hippopotamus. (As in “interesting but it must be a real pain in the ass to own”) Propane?

“A last-lap caution during Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway prematurely, and unfortunately, ended a race that would’ve otherwise been pretty good.”

Consumer spending on cars? If I spend three times more in a month on discretionary purchases than I usually do because I buy a new phone or appliance, that’s statistically elevated spending. But unless I spend ~$30,000 to move a car from a lot to my garage, it has nothing to do with my point.

Car-makers have so many unsold cars because:
