I’m a little puzzled by this whole affair, but several things seem to have come out that aren’t disputed, among them that the abuse she alleged was not and could not be verified; that she abused him, confirmed by multiple witnesses; that asking people if they really intended to put their metaphors into practice makes…

Stipulating that these particular guys are idiots - it’s not too difficult to process why guys who dig this shit feel marginalized. It’s perfectly possible to like bad guitar music, monster trucks and wrestling and still be for equal treatment for all. Too many articles though, lead off with the premise that if men…

Unless it’s a diesel Mack truck, I’m no tbuying anything with 250k miles.

Corporations aren’t governments. I don’t disagree that it would be nice if corporations reflected my and your liberal worldviews. The challenge is that politics are transient, but customers are forever - whereas you and I might not see the opportunity cost of publicly repudiating the political (read: bigoted) beliefs…

It’s almost like 32 years might be enough time for someone’s opinion to change. We have, after all, seen the villainous country of the original movie exit and subsequently revert to dictatorship, regardless of how it labels itself. 

“I want to do anything I want”, is an ok operating philosophy if you’re a single person with no familial attachments. If your mother still loves you, you might not want her to spend her golden years feeding you with a spoon and bathing you with a sponge, so maybe not so much with the dumb shit. If you’re married or…

Man, when these were new, they were awesome. In 1989-1990, a manual, huge sedan that was an (for the time) affordable rocket ship was a very cool thing. These were also a little understated, so you had a business car that would blow the doors off more than a few cars on the road. They rode great, shifted great, even…

I don’t think so. One guy was persuaded (however he was persuaded) that he was wrong and that he should rectify that wrong. Chapek may not be the bravest man in the world, but he’s not paid to be brave, but to minimize any disturbance to shareholder value; once he saw that he had disproportionately pissed off…

Whether or not Disney “deserved” Reedy Creek when the initial development started isn’t the question. The question is whether Disney’s initial misstep in not fighting the “Don’t say Gay” law is worth significantly penalizing taxpayers who will be forced to shoulder a burden they never incurred. By your reasoning,…

I’ve employed a lot of process servers in my day. It’s not intimidation, but exasperation or frustration that causes them to have to serve people in this manner. If Wilde continually rebuffed efforts to serve her, the best route for any server would be to show up at a time and place where she was sure to be.

The Sterling. An absolute, unquestionable piece of shit. 

I must admit, my Mazda experiences have all been positive. I could gripe about the placement of the climate controls on the CX-9, but not the function of the car, overall. Same with the CX-5 and even, way back, the Protege. I’ve had 3- and 6- loaners, dig’em. Love the Mx-5. In fact my personal first CX-9 purchase was…

That is good.

The SEC can only do what it is empowered to do by law and resource. There hasn’t been institutional will within Congress or the executive branch to make the SEC aggressive regulators.

I get that people loathe Musk. Of course, gizmodo yesterday called the guy “not very bright”, which is absurd on its face. The guy is very, very far from stupid, which is why he won’t kick automotive journalists off Twitter.

I never liked these. I’m not gonna start now. Whoever buys this is in for a cascade of age-related problems.

I’ll bet he does! Which is how he knows that there’s an engineering solution out there to make his idea workable. 

Prefacing this with the fact that I do not like Musk, mostly because of his poor impulse control, something that may actually be a symptom of his disorder. But, I don’t like juvenile insults made by adults, so....

Unless LR quietly changed absolutely everything about how it builds cars for this model year, the data set on LR should still be reliable. If you’re gonna buy this thing, buy two.

If only someone could have predicted this...
