This might be an insane take, but if they insist on overhauling the O'Reilly Series, I'm here for it becoming The One with the Weird Little Hatchbacks™.

Everyone who was writing critically about the automotive industry in 2017 was screaming this from the rooftops, but every Tech journalist™ repeated Teslas talking points without question. Sorry you got got but there were plenty of people trying to warn you.

In a coffee shop right now and a woman is using AI to write an email about literacy. It took everything in me to not throw her laptop through a window.

“The Pope should stay out of politics!”

Okay, then you should keep the Ten Commandments out of our public schools and keep your theology away from legislation about individual healthcare decisions, climate change, and social welfare programs.

I would love a chat with the person who looked at the new address and didn't think to mention that it wasn't an active service line. I promise to only torture them a little bit.

I've been back on Spectrum internet for approximately 30 minutes and it's still as shit a service experience as I remember. How the fuck do you set up service for an address and then when I'm attempting to hook everything up say there is no active coax line for this address and it requires a tech.

Cars(.)com search is so goofy because what do you mean I can search New + Certified but not Used + Certified at the same time?

SAME! I knew I didn't want to be here before I even knew what "here" was!

If only wages kept up with inflation people might actually have the expendable income to take a flyer on something like this.

I truly wonder if, since Gen AI is easily manipulated, one day some hero will craft a code that causes an AI model to self-destruct.

Sometimes I struggle to understand whether people are being deliberately obtuse or if they genuinely have no clue how to read.

AI sucks. Using it to write stuff sucks. Justifying using it to write stuff by saying it allows you to write more stuff sucks. Writing is the fundamental form of human expression and ceding jurisdiction over the written word to plagiarism machines is the death of the human mind.

From what I understand, ABS challenges are separate from on-field calls.

I am not here for The Brands™ doing April Fools nonsense. Everything we touch is already getting both worse and more expensive by the week. You do not get to joke about doing something stupid on purpose when that is already your business model.

Is it me or has enshittification really ramped up in the last six months?

Lol I don't know what's worse. A two-week suspension or Corey LaJoie taking your ride.

Either way.....later, bitch!

JEB!

I'm not part of the anti-backing-into-parking-spaces crowd, but you at least have to know how to do it. If it takes you three attempts, I am judging you hard.

The birds! Don't! Fucking! Care!

I swear AI-in-everything is going to be the reason I finally fucking snap.

You can tell Jesse and Rajah are two guys that generally get along and just want to talk it out while Stockman does the only thing he's good at (being an insufferable douche)

Never would have happened if he spent the afternoon at Rockingham or had a decent amount of followers on YouTube.

Fair. And this isn't an immediate purchase. It'll likely be in the fall or even spring of next year if I want to avoid the temptation to hoon in the snow

Both of those are either more money than I'm willing to part with or come with a mileage that I'm not comfortable with taking on. M2 is more likely, but I'd still end up with a higher-mileage one and I'm not sure I'm willing to take that gamble.

MK7 GTI, first gen M235/M240 coupe, GR86. What else should I be looking at for a fun, silly, "could double as a daily driver but I work from home so it can be kind of impractical" car in the 20-30k range?

Anything else I say will get me fired or worse, so I'll just say this.

Fuck this asshole and everyone like him.

Only a Walmart could lock everything in every electronics case and then hire precisely one (1) person to handle customer service in the entire department. I need a $5 phone cable, why on earth does this require executive approval?

Incident points are now determined by the number of pedestrians you hit when clipping the apex at the corner of Main St and 2nd Avenue.
