The afrofuturistic utopia has a king ? You, american, really have a soft spot for royalties, do you ?

Thanks for the pointer... (I’m french).

Not sure if that’s a joke, but, not. They’re not related nor a couple IRL.

As a fellow ski racing fan, thank you. That’s a great article. You do an amazing job to convey to non specialists the beauties and difficulties of alpine skiing.

I don’t know, really. It’s a BMW drive train (It could be a Guzzi), aircooled, straight from the bike. Seems simpler than Morgan actual solution. They must have good reasons, though...

This is glorious. But the S&S engine is a letdown, I think. The potatoe sound wont cut it, IMO, too american. Why not a Guzzi drivetrain ? It even has a drive shaft.

There are many countries, including the US or Canada, where everyone can ice skate. And, in many european countries, skiing is also a popular sport, if you live in the mountains.

This is hilarious. Thank you for that.

This. This is infuriating. Yes, Esmeralda is not a WOC. And, yes, Victor Hugo wrote the character, not fucking Walt Disney. It’s not dorky, it’s litterature ! Cultural appropriation much ? (french guy here).

The spider had a ridiculously tiny trunk.

Il rented one, once. It was the very last model year, Ford had already announced the end of Mercury. So, given the choice at the counter, I chose a Milan over a Mazda, aFord and a Hyundai.

There is no such thing as “Hermès leather” seats. There are seats upholstered by Hermès. And then there’re orange seats.

Eh, Ragnotti is driving without pacenotes, and joking with the journalist riding shogun: “Lots of corktrees, they’re softer when you crash...“

the main appeal of riding a motorcycle is feeling and hearing the engine.

Mazda sold this car in Europe(very poorly) under the Xedos badge. I knew someone who owned one, and did drive it a few times. It was a very good car, totaly underappreciated. But nobody was interested in upscale japanese car here and then. Pretty reliable too, I think.

The journalist question was dumb and uninformed and even insulting, but your analogies are off base. There’s nothing remotely comparable to Boko Haram and the general level of sectarian violence that plagues Nigeria, in Europe or the US. It may be unfair that we only get to hear the worse about Nigeria in the news,…

Because the aventurous girl.

Just try to remember that the turn indicator stalk is almost always the one by the door. I’m trying to think of an example where an indicator stalk isn’t the stalk on the outside, and I really can’t think of one. Maybe there’s a car like that, but if that’s what you drive, none of this will be bothering you in the…

Not on American new, improved to the Max, 737, where it seems that people like me ( I’m 6'6") can’t even close the door.
