Dude, he didn’t mean literal slaves. But is being in prison doing unpaid labor much better? Or being trapped in a debt cycle, which now involves payday lenders charging 400% interest and literal debtor’s prisons in some states?

Competition. You’re assuming ALL automakers would accept these standards universally, but when Ford makes a really clean car but GM makes a competing car that’s nicer/faster/safer for less money simply because they ignore emissions standards things get tricky.

I never understood the need to keep up appearances when you have a job that does all the appearances for you. Who cares what car you drive? You’re licensed to pilot a motherfucking JET. Keep your cash and come up with some great retorts for the ribbing that the superficial tech bros and venture cap babies feel they…

Ahem: Crystal Metheny.

Lincolns are DISTINCTLY different from the Ford models they’re based on now. No shared body panels, no shared interior pieces (the latest Aviator looks VERY swanky), and it appears even the digital experience is somewhat enhanced moving up-brand.

Cadillac anymore is just a fancy Chevy. Back in the golden days of Cadillac (pre-80's) they were a technology inventing, ground breaking lux brand that even the German builders aspired to. Fancy Chevy isn’t a good identity to have.

To clarify, Lincoln has a clear brand identity now: quiet flight on land. Their cars are like luxury private airplanes minus the wings. The names of the cars even evoke that. I’ve driven the new Continental and the new Navigator and they’re just effortlessly nice. They put you at ease. You’re not going to beat any…

I’d buy a Lincoln before a Cadillac, which I think says it all about where the two brands are.

if i was going to get 4 doors i’d want a cab-over version

Those are "dumb questions" in the eyes of the seller apparently. So yeah, not even going that extra mile is a red flag.

Oof, bikini competitions...don’t even get me started on them. I’ve known a couple of bikini competitors through a friend of mine who is a trainer, and each and every one of them has been in treatment for disordered eating. And each of them also has an Instagram feed where they paint their lives and their fitness…

Her calling it black girl magic is just cringeworthy. Like, girl, you’re on a trashy reality television show that mostly makes everyone involved look bad. Sit your ass down and collect your check.

You’re not going to get bulky by accident.

Praise be to Jesus.  The last barrier to equality has been torn down.  No need to fight for anything any more.

And if you get the one with the inline 6 and the 2 speed automatic it will be guaranteed to be low mileage because it’s so slow and only 60 years have passed so how far could it have gotten anyway?

To be fair, it was twee AF. Hand-knit clothes, discount Ren Faire slang, sprinklings of Asian cultural appropriation, guys being doofuses at best... it found an underserved corner of hippie geekdom, and hit it hard.

After he takes care of business at the shore, he’ll drive upstate a bit...

One of the first films it was seen in is 1968's The Wrecking Crew starring Dean Martin and Sharon Tate, the movie that’s referenced several times in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood.

It’s Majestyk!. NP

I broke my finger smashing NP on this one.  It’s perfect, like a goddamn work of art.
