That’s your non-Japanese upbringing not understanding Japanese culture.

I dunno, in this particular case, keeping a couple pristine original RX-7s around in Mazda’s collection is a worthy cause.

Thanks to Trump and Musk there won’t be an NHTSA soon, and voila - no more pesky recalls for anyone.

The word bonus is a bad translation. Salary in austria is split into 14 parts.
12 monthly paychecks + one paycheck for summer holiday and one for christmas. So juli and november you get double the amount you get the other months. None of this is “optional” or a “bonus”, its simlpy how the law works in austria.

The working employees probably earned their bonuses, but executives seem to have not done a very good job.  They probably all got their bonuses already though.

These fuckers just don’t get it.  Viva le revolution.

Knock it down, already. It was obscene that they completed it as GM sold out Flint, MI to production in Mexico. I want nothing to do with downtown Detroit and my tax dollars have already bailed GM once. No more. Get rid of that eyesore.

The only one on the list that surprises me is the BMW.

I love how 10-15 years ago all the naysayers were insufferable with their “Having both gas and electric motor is going to mean twice the trouble — I’ll never buy a hybrid” and “the batteries are going to cost $15,ooo to replace and you’ll be doing that after 5 or 6 years... you’ll have to be a moron to buy a hybrid.”

Hey, the Miata has infinite headroom with the top down!

I wonder if anything made by Toyota is reliable? 

13 bystanders were taken to the hospital as a result of the mass shooting response team.

Officers responded by emptying their clips into the back of the departing train.

20 seconds is a HUGE difference when talking race speeds.

The DA of the Southern District in NYC rolling over on a corporate assassin? He knows where his bosses checks get cashed from, and it’s the big businesses in NYC. This kid is gonna get an entire staff thrown at this case of the best Ivy Leaguers polishing their resume in that office.
