Except he wasn’t selling the car when he received the cease and desist letter, and that’s a patently false explanation of Ferrari’s attitude towards their customers. Ferrari has intimidated, threatened, and penalized owners who let their cars get tested by journalists as far back as the F50. They threatened to refuse…

Well, if you think about it a paddle boat’s drivetrain is just a crankshaft with some pedal shaped pistons and no cylinder.

You got caught up in a multitude of replies. I thought your reply was another one of BillGK’s. I actually edited after the fact but for some reason it didn’t take. Apologies.

Have you not seen every thing GM has done the past ten years?

I never suggested street racing was victim less, if you paid any attention to the litany of things I’ve written you would notice my unwavering condemnation for street racing, but your words were that he deserved to die. If you don’t feel the appropriate punishment for the act is death then he didn’t deserve to die.…

You’re also (understandably) uncomfortable when people are putting the temperature below 69°, which is frankly asinine. I’m 6’6”, 400lbs, and unless I’m working out I’ve never felt the need for it to be below 69°. If your co-workers are setting it to lower and there’s no compelling reason (continually open doors etc.)…

Thank you for giving me justification to not give even a single fuck about your pain, since you’ve led in with not giving a fuck about my discomfort.

Considering what is regarded as suitable workplace attire men really don’t have a choice. Ladies can wear an extra layer, if I show up wearing bahama shorts and a floral shirt I’m going to be fired. If you think air conditioning is a sign of the patriarchy you’re coocoo for Coco-Puffs.

So what’s the idiom if you both beat them, then joined them to rub it in?

kids do this just like they put scion badges on their scion to look jdm

That poor engineer is going to have so much paperwork.

The definition of deserved is the performance of an action or possession of a trait worthy of punishment. The man made a mistake and one of the possible outcomes occurred. It’s unsurprising, possibly even expected, but it wasn’t deserved.

If he can’t figure out when is and isn’t an appropriate time for gallow’s humor than he can deal with the unamused responses.

Put a lemonade stand in the front of your house, pick pennies from your couch, or walk around downtown pulling returnables out of garbage cans. Spend every second you do these menial tasks that offer low returns being appreciative that you came up with a better idea than killing yourself, or worse, somebody else who…

There aren’t enough stars for your thoughtful, heartfelt, and ultimately spot-on article. I’m terribly sorry that the death of a friend was the catalyst, but if this article impacts even one person I think you’ve found the best way to honor your friend’s memory that anybody could hope for.

I’m glad to see that after being given billions of tax payer dollars to stay solvent after years of terrible business decisions the response from GM is an enormous corporate middle finger.

I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m pretty sure that the U.S. military forces don’t pack Stingers in wood produce crates full of straw.

There’s a pretty enormous difference between a 360 Modena and a fairly new R8 that’s worth less than 100 large.

*Edit* Whoops, ancient post. Sorry, I was clicking through the connected links and wound up here.

You realize that compliance holds are 1) not that easy to pull off if somebody doesn’t want you to 2) completely useless if any number of pharmaceuticals are in play, yes? If you can do that and it helps equalize your weight and strength deficit, fantastic, I hope it keeps you safe. I’m fortunate/unfortunate enough to…

I’m not going to try to randomly execute some perfect grapple that will keep someone in enough pain, that I’m hoping they will feel, to keep them controlled. I’m going to put your ass on the ground and use every ounce of my body weight advantage to keep you there, and if someone feels that was excessive I’ll deal with…
