Yeah, that just confirms all the complaints that Shilling is not a car guy.

The only just punishment would be to send him to Wuhan on a one way flight.

I almost bought an A4 Allroad in December but couldn’t pull the trigger (even though the dealer was piling on the incentives) because I want to see what kind of EVs are going to come from VW. I hate automatics so if I have to give up my manual, I’d rather have an EV.

Even though the swap sounds stupid as all hell, how does one let the car go from “show car” to “the windshields are not attached.”  

Me, in 2016:

“After one customer at Adam Perry Lang’s steakhouse APL was apprehended for stashing a hand-forged steak knife in a baby carriage—and charged $950.01 for it—they returned the knife. And now they are regulars at APL and, Perry says, even friends. Isn’t that beautiful? Sometimes crime does pay.”

Ferrari has a poor history of licensing its brand to downmarket, cheap products. Puma x Ferrari is just one. When I was buying a tricycle for my kid, I also came across Ferrari branded plastic big wheels.

Anyone who says “There’s nothing racist here, it’s just about the fish!” needs a new fucking brain. Simple test: did the company also make a “Black (fin tuna) Lives Matter” shirt?

Women are expected to do most of the cooking but not have their opinions on food taken seriously?

That’s not how things work. You are suggesting that additional revenue guarantees that stock price moves higher. That added revenue has to hit certain benchmarks to sustain the stock price. The company has to maintain growth rates. And Tesla has to maintain its streak of profitability. And you have to figure that much…

Lol. A guy who holds a grudge against Nazi and Jap cars. Do you also hate the southerners who killed more Americans than any other country?

There are people who had nothing handed to them and are doing it all by themselves. Part of the reason they can do it all by themselves is because they had nothing growing up.

Most corner delis in NYC are no better than supermarket delis slicing up Boar’s Head or cheaper stuff. The good delis are few and far between.

Agree. I had my first at 40 because my father and 4 uncles all developed colon cancer at some point. The prep is SO AWFUL but the actual procedure is so, so easy and painless (since you’re out cold). 

That OJ is fresh-squeezed, which means the kitchen worker probably put 10 oranges in the juicer to make one glass. $10 is not much more than what other places that serve true fresh-squeezed juice charge.

It’s a loophole in the sense that people who can’t buy from Costco can still buy from Costco. They pay a slightly higher price, but as Lisa demonstrated, that price is still lower than buying the stuff at Publix.

It’s as if Manhattan were land-locked or something.

Ino in Japan Center. The old couple retired so it’s gone now. :(

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever eaten was at a sushi place in SF (in a mall, no less, run by an old Japanese couple). Nevertheless, sushi is not what I think of when I think of SF food. Maybe it was too hard to come up with a picture of cioppino.

There is no donut vacuum in NYC. Mini-chains like Doughnut Plant, Dough, plus all the independent places like Donut Pub on 14th and Peter Pan in Greenpoint have kept me fat for years.
