Tim is a genius—or he certainly was in his most creative years.

Everything in one place worked so damned well and they killed it to support a bunch of programs no one used instead. 

That’s the type of fuckery that I’m talking about. OEM installs shouldn’t count. 

Pre-installs on pixel phones probably.

Gen 2 is where the fun died.

Looks like an X90 without a soft top

Gen 4 is where the fun died. Gen 1 was a lot of fun. 2nd gen was a little more serious, but the same basic formula. Gen 3 was pretty lame in most respects but it had a monster engine option for its size. Gen 4 was snoozefest city. At least gen 5 has some cool options. 300 HP PHEV? that’s pretty rad.

Kinda crazy to think that the RAV4 was once a fun vehicle

“On the list”? I’m not familiar with that sensation. Does that mean you didn’t get yours right away?  You’re such a plebian.

I had a weird experience in college sort of like that. I interviewed for Electric Boat and got a verbal job offer. I ran home excited and called my dad... who told me to tune into CNN. On the bottom of the screen was a ticker about how the Seawolf submarine program had been stopped and put on hold.

glad they didnt hire me. that was only about a year and a half ago i applied. they only wanted to pay 22/hr in austin. thats not enough for a tech company. even one where all youre doing it sitting in a car watching it drive itself. glass door or some site like that had a lot of ex employee feedback about quitting…

I feel like this is targeted at my “wrong side of their 30's” demographic and I’ve never heard of this brand until now. I also don’t know why I’d want a mutant Grimace with 4 eyes.

My wife and I drove out to do the Octane Academy after she bought her FiST. They got to drive that and the Focus, and most of the people there had Focuses, but a bunch readily admitted the Fiesta was more fun, and the instructors all indicated they preferred it.

I follow street wear brands and I’ve never heard of it either. Must be a regional brand that’s trying to go national.

That Wagoneer got caught in PDI. But if you saw it out on the road that means Rivian sell theirs crooked.

A pale green Fiesta was the first car I drove at the Team O’Neil Rally School. Fun little car, with no headliner, a roll cage, and racing seats. With headliner and OEM seats, I doubt I would have fit in the car.

Remember the scene in Mad Men when Don listens to “Tomorrow Never Knows” for a minute before unceremoniously turning off the record player, symbolizing his inability to grasp a changing culture and, moreover, his unwillingness to engage with it? It appears that McDonald’s collabs are doing that for older Millennials…

I drove the Fiesta ST at Ford Octane Academy, my god it was fun. A tremendous little fun car for under 20k. I fear that we may never see anything like it again. That new Yaris GR is like 40 fucking grand

Never heard of it and I’m wondering the same.

Ha, and I remember a lot of people saying this was stupid. I don’t want one...I don’t need more cheap plastic crap in my life. However, I suspected there were a lot of people who would want one...
