It is considered a crisis when 140 of those people all live in a town with a population of 4000. Get your head out of your ass.

Promising to cancel $1.6 trillion dollars in student debt isn’t going to actually solve the problem of rising tuition costs. Provide an opportunity to erase student, don’t just cancel it for everyone. We need a real program that forgives student loan for public service. Join the military, become a teacher, policeman,…

There used to be a place like this in the 90's in Harvard Square called Gamesmith. You paid by the hour to play video games. Back then it was pretty novel because they would import games that hadn’t been released in the US yet. I remember it being pretty cool but really expensive at the time.

You see, you have empathy for the actual people who made the game and understand how grueling working in that industry can be. This insane man-child thinks the entire company should bend to his will to make a game that he can enjoy.

The irony here is amazing. The Obama administration saves the economy from the 2008 recession while also cutting the national deficit in half and Republicans and their dumb-fuck supporters still deny the facts and insist he made the economy worse. It defies all logic and makes absolutely no sense. And they still rage…

That’s not a good argument at all. The majority of “sports” cars all around the world never even touch the pavement on a track. It all depends on what your definition of “sporty” means. To one person that could mean something with paddle shifters, to another it could mean something that goes 0-60 in 3 seconds. All I…

$500 is perfectly reasonable for a gaming console these days. I’m still amazed that games are only $60 upon release. The original NES games were $50 and that was ~35 years ago.

If that’s your narrow-minded view of the automotive industry then can you just do us all a favor and stop writing for Jalopnik?  

Your original question was “...where are the reasonably attainable and reasonably sporty EVs for folks like us?” and he gave you an example.

This would be great if the emergency responders actually used their sirens.  I work next to a hospital and can’t tell you how many times I see the ambulance and police driving through the intersections on the roads with only lights on but no sirens.  It’s dangerous as fuck and it happens pretty much every day.

I never said she was inspiring - all I care is if she can do the job

Part of the reason the flu doesn’t kill more people is that the flu vaccines lessen the severity of the virus if someone does contract it. The inherent danger of Coronavirus is that there is no vaccine and is killing older people at an alarming rate - 80% of all victims are 60 years old and above with the youngest…

I’m in the same boat as you. It’s too easy to get up on a stage and promise to erase all student loans like Sanders and Warren have done. It’s basically a cheap trick to get young people to vote for you and won’t actually solve the problem of rising tuition costs. Bernie approaches nearly all of the issues in this…

The new Air Force One livery is as tasteless and lazy as the newly released Space Force logo (ripped directly from Star Trek).

The van lives up to the reputation though. A female jogger in my neighborhood managed to escape two men driving a van exactly like this who were trying to kidnap her in broad daylight.

I have the same problem with Top Gear. My six year old son and I watch the re-runs on BBC America and it’s great. We can’t watch the Grand Tour or anything they do on Amazon because they drop F-bombs and other profanities in every episode. I love streaming services but this is probably the one thing I miss from…

Yep - totally agree. As soon as my run-flats wear out, I always switch to non-RFTs. It was $600/tire to replace with new summer RFTs on my 3 series. Meanwhile, I can get a new set of decent, non-RFT summer tires for $900.  It doesn’t make any damn sense.

The intervals are what can get you. My friend tracks his M5. He bought the car new with the ceramic brake pads option. After a full summer of track events the brakes needed replacing and BMW initially refused to replace them due to the low mileage interval. Out of pocket cost was over $16K to replace pads and rotors…

I don’t get the SUV hate either. They’re a hell of a lot more fuel efficient than 10-15 years ago and they offer better visibility than sedans and wagons. For anyone who lives in an area that gets significant snowfall, ride height makes a huge difference in driving through snow and seeing over the giant piles that…

Maybe I’m doing it wrong but when I’ve got the track mostly figured out and am braking, hitting the apex’s and accelerating at the right points and making less and less mistakes I find flying around the track to be incredibly therapeutic.  But that never happens in the first lap - it takes a while to get there.
