Did your parents ever apologize to you for something they did when you were young?

My mother has never apologized for anything in her life. And, like, she's not a shitty person. She was a good mom. But the stuff she did fuck up? Unrepentant.

Critically, you can turn a profit on the R&D at that number. It helps that you’re re-using a lot of parts and the engine is also used in the Ascent with a different tune, but you’re not selling the car a loss and hoping the cool runs off on the rest of your product line.

Nope. That would have made it worse. The trailer is already going faster than the tractor. That’s why it’s swaying. (A swaying path is longer than a straight path, so as they travel the same distance up the road, the trailer is traveling farther in the same time, so it’s faster.) The solution is either to use the trailer brakes, which he probably can’t because the wheels are making intermittent contact, or to accelerate, which he probably can’t because it looks like they’re going uphill. But once you get some tension on the front wheel by slowing the trailer or speeding the tractor, it’ll pull itself straight.

"Certain customers simply enjoy the thrill of driving a car with a powerful engine... A smooth powertrain is good for those people who use their car daily for commuting. However, those who purchase performance cars make that decision in the pursuit of driving" - Lotus CEO

Different strokes, right? My dream car would be a homologated EV rally car. Focus on curve-hugging handling, shitloads of torque to get me from curve to curve, an adaptive suspension so my wife doesn't complain when she rides in it. enough creature comforts to make a decent touring car, and enough trunk to bring home the groceries, without the gas bill. Basically, I want an STI EV.

Yup! You can get bluetooth cassette walkmen and record players too! To my knowledge, if you somehow have 8-tracks, that would still require an external adapter.

CDs are objectively an inferior technology, though. The storage is small, they skip, they’re easily damaged, and the playback equipment takes up space that could be put to far more productive use in the car. Digital music is equal or higher quality, effectively infinitely storable and easy to back up. It actually does solve several problems.

They're fine. My dad has slowed down a bit. My mom (who is generally a wonderful person) has intensified her annoying personality traits which creates some tension with my ADHD daughter.

It's just wild to me that "everyday shoes" last more than 3 months. I go through 4 pairs a year. AND I have walking shoes, hiking shoes, driving shoes, gardening shoes.

Absolutely. Subaru was a master of this. Yeah, their EVs are all restyled Toyotas, but they've done a great job restyling them as "EVs that look like something a Subaru owner would want to buy."

There's no reason an EV can't have a soul. There's no reason an EV can't be cool as fuck. They have a ton of torque and a ton of power, and they can be very fun to drive. THIS car has no soul and isn't cool, and that's why everyone is ragging on it.

A performance car should LOOK cool. This looks boring as hell. I don't care how fast it will do 0-60 if the car looks like it will just make people laugh.

It's wild how often companies that know how to make really cool looking ICE cars make the same boring electrics. It's all the jellybean cars from Syndicate. This, the Ioniq 6N, etc., are incredibly cool machines in an incredibly boring wrapper. I don't know why.

I have a standard set of fakes. I also don’t think I’ve ever seen “your first car” come up as a prompt. It’s a terrible prompt. Half the answers would be Corolla, Camry or Accord.

We had a really robust anti-tobacco policy so kids would cross the street and smoke in the parking lot of the Baptist Church where the school couldn’t bust them for anything.

I started in the fall of 93 with a Beta starter deck and some Unlimited boosters. Bought some Arabian Nights and sold off my entire collection for $40 before Antiquities because it was too expensive to buy cards as a high schooler. Highlights included Savannah, Mox Emerald and Pearl and Shahrazad. I got back in shortly after Urza Block and played on and off through Mirrodin block. Then I got back in during the original Theros block and have played continuously since, though I haven't bought a paper card since MTGA came out (which I also don't spend money on.) Magic is actually pretty cool when it's a $0 habit!
