Honestly, the Republicans are the only people making this a political thing. Literally nobody else has a problem with this. For 30+ years, Ariel, who is a mermaid (which also isn’t real), was represented as a white character and now these people are losing their shit because the live action version features a black…

The Republicans are losing their minds over anything and everything Disney-related these days because Disney has officially been deemed by them as being “too woke” now and “grooming” children (whatever that means). This movie checks all the Republican-rage checkmarks, especially since Ariel is played by a black person.

LOL - Costco sucks?  In the 30+ years that my local Costco has been open you are literally the only person I’ve ever heard say that.  

As someone who has owned and tracked a Z4M Coupe over the last 12 years, it makes me sad to know that even if this does get made, it will probably be an uber-expensive limited edition where most examples will just sit in a temperature-controlled garage for their entire life.

Toyota makes a lot of excellent points in this whitepaper. I have a PHEV (BMW X5) and it’s perfect for what I need. I don’t have to worry about the garbage charging infrastructure but I can also do my daily commute and errands on nearly all electric without having to fill up for months at a time. When the temperature…

Elon has now officially entered the QAnon “yell at the sky and blame it all on George Soros” phase of his stupid life. It was only fitting that in Miami, of all the people he could have hung out with in the F1 paddock, he chose Christian Horner.

For track people, their concerns are mostly about how well they work on the track, how many track days they last and how affordable they are. The people who really care about lap times are bringing a dedicated set of R-compounds with them. I have a set of RS4's right now with 11 track days on them and they’ve been…

The entire point of getting a car that is CPO is that it comes with an extended warranty that usually stretches beyond the original warranty and it goes through an inspection process so you know that you’re getting a used car that is in good shape. In most cases, you can purchase a non-CPO car and pay extra to have…

I applaud you for lasting 10 minutes.  I saw Trump blabbering for about 15 seconds and had to change the channel.  

Even if you can’t call Trump a convicted rapist, you can definitely call him the world’s biggest idiot. A major part of his legal argument is that Carroll “wasn’t his type” so there was no possible way he could sexually assault her. During the deposition, they showed him a picture of himself, Ivana, Carroll and her…

That’s incredibly simplistic. First, Slayton is her 45-year old boss and she’s still a teenager. Second, he lured her to his apartment and got her drunk. Finally, he basically tried to coerce her into keeping everything quiet. This is what most people would consider to be the activity of your typical “groomer”, which…

This reminds me of the 18-year old in Florida who took his father’s E60 M5 out on an airstrip with 4 of his friends in the car. They went straight off the end of the runway and into a bunch of trees, killing everyone in the car.

The immense irony in someone born with the name Nimarata Nikki Randhawa to Sikh parents, who has spent the majority of her professional career pretending to be a white, Republican, Christian woman and is now accusing a transgender person of acting the part is completely unsurprising.

At this point I want Disney to give Dylan Mulvaney one of those parade ceremonies like they do for the Superbowl winners so all the bigots can start cancelling their Disney vacations and give the rest of us shorter wait times.  

It’s pretty nuts that they gutted the EV tax credit for the X5 considering that they assemble it in South Carolina. My wife really wanted the upcoming Mini Countryman PHEV (was anticipated to have 30-50 miles per charge) but Mini just announced that they’re not going to release it. They’re only releasing an EV and…

PHEV is the way to go.  Last year I bought a BMW X5 45e (PHEV) and it was a game-changer. With the federal EV tax credit, it was about the same price ($65K) as the 40i model and I am able to drive mostly on electric around town. I usually go about 700-1000 miles between fill ups.  

It’s pretty funny seeing someone complain about the gear shifter “trend” on a 2023 BMW when the company has had the same shifting mechanism on all of their new models since roughly 2007.

Ugh - there’s always that ONE thing that ends up taking waaay longer than you thought it would. Glad you were able to pry the clipping off!

I’m shuddering just looking at that picture.

If it wasn’t for crappy video game movies, we would never have gotten the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack or this gem:
