Ummmmmm.....

No witty rejoinder from Ford? “We feel sorry for all those people who were tricked into buying a Challenger and didn’t find their youth/masculinity/self-esteem in the trunk.”

At the end of the day, though, none of this really matters. No matter the brand, most customers will likely never venture off-road in these vehicles — which is why so many brands can keep creating “off-roading” SUVs that are all bark and no bite.

“We design all of those Trail Rated elements from the ground up… it’s not just a marketing term.”

your story seems to completely validate the premise of the article that the police are bad at deciding who and when to stop?

I was going to argue with you, but I see you’re right.

It’s amazing how many around here think it is all relatively wealthy suburbanite’s spending beyond thier means to “keep up with the Joneses” 

There’s this narrative that all these subprime poors are living it up on their minimum wage jobs. Driving around in luxury cars they can’t afford. To me that narrative is simply a way for the affluent to comfort themselves. It gives them a way to blame the poor for being poor. They don’t want to think about the fact…

I grew up in a middle class household, but have fended for myself since graduation. I was dumped into the worst economic situation since the Great Depression, but I worked my ass off and managed to get from a bank account with 19 cents in it and a single frozen chicken patty in my freezer.

I am self-employed and work…

Ugh, fuck off.

I think we can all agree lenders who sell loans to subprime borrowers who are always only one paycheck away from insolvency bear the majority of the blame. 

The myth of social mobility? The idea that if you work hard enough you’ll succeed? Sure it happens, hell it happened to me but it’s pretty damn rare. It’s a typical urban myth, like the idea you can turn turn minimum wage workers into programmers. You can, but your success rate’s going to be in the single digit range.

Yes, there are some people stuck in a hard place but most of these subprime loans are from people being stupid with their money/income.

More than 50% of American’s don’t even have $700 in cash to cover emergencies. How much car can people like that afford? If it wasn’t for sub-prime loans and easy credit, I imagine they’d be walking. Public transport outside the cities basically doesn’t exist.

I’m happy (and surprised) to see that as the top-starred comment. People these days LOVE shitting on old games and other media, and I’ve heard a LOT of hate regarding the writing in BL2 in recent years. My wife and I found BL2 (and the related TellTale series) to be among the funniest games we’ve ever played. Ashley…

Mikey actually posted on Twitter earlier that he came back to do some work on 3.

Our own Tim Rogers described DMC5 as “Spectacular Trash”. This is how I’ve always felt about Borderlands. It’s a shallow, addicting, looter-shooter grind-fest, but it fully embraces this identity instead of trying to maintain a facade of seriousness like Destiny or Anthem. It’s just a ridiculous, colorful, exploding…

My only conceren here is I think the writer for BL2 left awhile back? And to me, what made BL2 stand out was it’s humor.
