  1. LOL, hit him harder next time, Gary.
  2. Get your shit together, B12 clown conference
  3. It's a Gawker Media product, little more than an ignorant and smug affront for industry reposts and writers with shit opinions. It's the Automotive-equivalent of Deadspin.
  4. Clever Girl, Reddit. Stark departure from the groupthink, glad-handing bullshit you typically perpetuate.
  5. They'll be lucky to move 5000 units annually. Nobody plunking down $40K for a new FR platform chooses this over a Supra, Camaro or Mustang.
  6. We could make a NFL call to send Omenihu, Okafor, Roach, Ridgeway and Poona back into the Cotton Bowl with a week of practice by Orakpo and it wouldn't make a shit. Riley's formula is to hold for the 3.5 sec it takes to execute a screen with a QB who only needs to make two reads and a quick release. Max Duggan graded higher on on the 40 yd dash, 20 yd shuttle, vertical jump, power throw and SPARQ rating, if one would believe that.
  7. FIFY
  8. Savagegeese is great for specific car reviews, especially established and older models. I dig the segment where they discuss particular design flaws and get the car up on the lift to dissect suspension and drivetrain components.
  9. "I bOuGhT tHe ChEaPeSt Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Quad 442 oN tHe InTarTaRdS! "Now, watch me change the oil, point out a few quirks and features, and otherwise not accomplish dick with it." Do you layer a tee shirt under your tee shirt as well? All these YouTube celebs are dipshits... except for maybe Rich Rebuilds, because he has balls, actually works in his garage (with seemingly zero training or specialized tools) and told Tesla to fuck themselves.
  10. Dallas, 2016, at an otherwise peaceful BLM rally...
  11. Who knows, it's fair to assume they asked for IDs after the fight broke up, but the exchange leading up to this hasn't been revealed yet. I'm in favor of all municipalities of a certain population size to mandate their PDs to issue body cams. Said body cams must be tamper-proof and activated through the entire duration of the officer's shift, with a duty of the officer to check the camera (and recording media) in at then end of shift duty. All content must then be transferred to a central IVR, operated by the county or State, and FOIA requests can directly recall from this centralized IVR. I know it's expensive, but I'm surprised this isn't SOP.
  12. Reading he has a prior sexual assault conviction as well. Not taking the side of the police for Robocop execution, but failure to comply with an outstanding arrest warrant, acting as one can just get in and drive away isn't smart.
  13. Another +1 for Webull. I'm not happy with their iOS app, but the platform is powerful, zero commission trades, so many charting and data plots, active discussion and news trading, easy after-hours trading access.
  14. FAANGMAT anecdotes should be fucking banned from discussion, at least until the great sell-off begins. Tesla only took 14 fucking years to reach its first-reported positive EPS. Edit: Someone re-arranged it to FATMAAN and that makes it easier. Fatass P/E popularity contest.
  15. 'bout free-fiddy. Would be fun to host for the weekend.
  16. It took me a year and a hefty budget to complete my home theater in June, and I'm not that pressed to get out for the game either. 4K Sony ES Laser on a 123" Seymour acoustic-transparent screen and a beer fridge in the adjacent game room makes it really tempting to stay put. It'll be more fun to keep hitting the 30-second rewind button every time Spencer Rattler gets pushed around or Bomar'd.
  17. If I find one for face value, I'm there too. It's even easier for me, given all I care about is a single. I just don't expect these to fetch 2.5x or 3x face because the allotment has been reduced.
  18. Probably cheaper than one would expect. State Fair will be shut down, no beer sales, no food, tailgates and assemblies discouraged, no Fairgrounds pregame shows and the DART might not be running express routes to Fair Park.
  19. I've been thinking of this plan for a month now. How weird are the staff and patrons about wearing a mask around the property? No, I'm not 'anti-mask,' just don't think that's warranted outdoors, in the pool, or in the spa.
  20. You might be able to view an estimate of DCT clutch wear (and launch control use) through an at-home OBD diagnostic tool like Carly or ISTA. Unless the car was tracked, I wouldn't be concerned about it, as the service life has been reported to exceed 125K.
  21. DCT? If so, was your tech able to indicate clutch wear %? The wet clutch life of the rear differential is also one to look after-- if it was driven hard over its prior life, that rear diff can wear to the point of becoming an open differential, as early as 60-80K.
  22. CarPro or go home. CQuartz UK for your ceramic coating, Flex for your DA buffer, and dedicate a whole weekend for the correction detail, hopefully with most of the work done under the cover of your garage. Man I love my ceramic coating, it makes hand washes a breeze and nothing sticks to it. You'll have to enforce the rules to the wife: No automated washes and write NO WASH on all dealership service work orders.
  23. Swiped across Onyeka's Bumble profile the other night and the pics/bio appeared recently. She seems to be a cool chick and level-headed, I'm surprised it's something she would even attempt, having built up a fair social network.
  24. $80K car drivetrain with $30K car interior things. Cool that they figured out how to incorporate air suspension calibration with LC activation. It's a bit gimmicky to market that feature.
