I knew about the GM rotary, and I knew the Pafer was intended to have a rotary, I did not know the two were the same. Sorry Mate.

(just like how GM cancelled their rotary engine for the AMC Pacer)

"You won't see women in F1 until the wealthy aristocratic euro families who produce most of the F1 drivers start putting their daughters into karting at age five. They are the main reason there aren't more female F1 drivers. Because that's mainly where F1 drivers come from: Wealthy aristocratic families.

No need to send to Jezebel, I got this:

I'd like it if has to take out the garbage 300 times and get a book deal about that before she agrees to set a date. Its almost a stupid.

Completely Agree. Saw the C7 in person at an autoshow for the first time last week. The new Corvette has a presence in person that pictures do not convey, but especially in black. All of the fussy plastic details filling in the grill, hood, vents, etc vanished and the subtle lines in the bodywork had more impact. It…

Thank you very much for the response. I'm not upset by anything, just trying best to figure out how to groom myself. Truth be told, I'm suddenly single after being in a very long relationship and I am very nervous about re-entering the dating world.

I completely agree with you, but the gif of the ostrich in this exact thread is why I don't feel like I can even meet that person without addressing these particular cells.

Thanks for the response. I don't have anyone in particular to help, and while I have friends who are happy enough to laugh at me then help me clear the back 40, how many months in a row can you bank on that kind of charity and availability, right?

(Honest question that I pray remains grey)

Its not a matter of cheap, and I don't think there's a business case for a $100k car in the current Ferrari line up. Ferrari is making money hand over fist ignoring the market that bought 6000 Mondials over the course of the 80s because there's tremendous profit in selling and servicing unobtanium.
But this is for fun,…

Right? For a second there, I thought I was just being seduced by my love for that particular photo of a dark blue Ferraris, but the Mondial was servicable, usable, innovative, and very popular. I was surprised to see a "slow" Ferrari on this list considering yesterday's AOTD was the exact opposite and contained the…

I have to disagree on the Ferrari. I think an understated, mid-engine, italian sports car with a small, high revving V8 would be a great car. Ferrari as a brand has moved to a place where anything less than crazy expensive and crazy powerful is not going to leave thier factory, but I can't help but think brown diesel…

Look at the growth of Lacross, Rugby, Soccer, and MMA as socially acceptable sports in the US in just the past generation. All expanded in popularity absent any (or in the case of Soccer, nearly any) professional events to watch. Historically, professional football grew out of the popularity of college football, not…

Braintree. See if your sister can look into a group called "1in4." It is an all male group that talks to men about sexual assault by having a conversation about helping a victim: what resources they need, what support need, what to say, and ultimately, what they are going through. Its a fairly good program that…

"The comparison isn't all that accurate — being around cigarette smoke puts you at risk of getting cancer; drinking puts you at risk of sexual assault... if you are around a rapist."

" Let’s rephrase a few things and look at it from the other side. Your asleep, it’s ...let’s say 1am. Someone is banging on your door; you are half awake and tell them to go away. They get louder, banging harder....you answer the door with your gun in hand (it is 1am, who the hell bangs on your door at 1am) and some…

Racism is certainly a feature here, but there's an aspect to gun ownership that is showing up here, and its that for some, owning firearm is tanamount to saying out loud "I have the right to kill" and "I am planning on killing." I know gun owners who hide behind the concept of home defense, and I am always…

You're welcome. And though I think you'll appreciate my moment of clarity above more than a little gushing, I also read your Esquire Network story twice too.
