Then we have the Euro answers to this question, which I find infinitely more fun.

I’ve found the best way to learn to drive stick is the same way you learn to appreciate IPAs: it’s 1am, the local takeout’s closed and you don’t have a choice. Case in point: I learned on my GTO, which was my only car at the time. Torque covers a multitude of sins, so that Firebird should be fairly forgiving until you…

Easy, they’re hedging their bets that the robots will inevitably rise up.
 
They’re pretty sure about the women not doing so.

“For a one-year-only model, Honda truly went all out.”

I’d argue availability is the pretty much the only reason for this. Can’t buy what’s not on the shelf. The other factors you bring up simply are the justifications for taking the plunge on an S instead of waiting for a Series X.

That said, if the S had some form of disc drive, I’dve been one of those buyers. I can…

My understanding is that the T’au were retconned into a more nebulously moral group after players complained that they were too unambiguously good for 40K. I guess alien space commies who don’t shoot first was just a bridge too far.

A little help for those with a Target nearby. Their online stock tickers update at around midnight. (Found this out last summer when hunting for a pool.) Check their stock around 7am, and if it shows “limited stock” or better, be there when they open and beeline towards electronics. If it’s not is the display case,…

They shot down the Kestrel (from FTL) back when Ideas was Cuusoo. Then again, fuckin’ Voltron. I grok your feelings.

. . . Burger King have added new and (supposedly) improved chicken sandwiches

Goddamit. Dave Chapelle’s fuckin’ Nostradamus.

Ah, the old Main Line. I used to work near there in another lifetime.

The railroad’s right of way was etched right after the Ten Commandments. . . so yeah, these projects aren’t fun to get planned. Getting out of Malvern (the town, ahem, “borough” proper) and over to Rt. 30 was a bitch because of that same rail. Still,…

Right church, wrong pew.  I’d argue the GTO was a better example.

Goddamit. Ghost Rider 2099. How did I forget until I saw that?

Meet its cousin, the Revcon.

Hell with that. I’m still holding out for a Garland.

I have lists already prepped on ECS and FCP, just waiting for my E90's water pump to shart itself. If I make to 80K without incident, I might just pull the trigger out of self-preservation and then go buy a lotto ticket.

Obviously not disposable income.

Or does E39 ownership mean all income is disposable?

Getting more of a “Welcome to Eagleland, mother fucker.” vibe.

I’m less concerned about the “new model” thing, and more concerned about supply and assembly in the time of Covidia. I wouldn’t touch any new model released in the last eighteen months, and only buy a new vehicle in general if the need was absolute.

That’s not always the case. I grabbed the fullsize Glorious GMMK in the “White Ice” colorway, mainly as it’s almost fully user-servicable and customizable. One of those “M”s is for “modular” and the individual switches pretty much just pressure fit into sockets on the main board. The frame itself is a giant hunk of…
