Waymos have arrived in my neighborhood and I attempted to explain the incandescent rage I feel whenever I see one: youtu.be/p9BYvsPtGrY?... Context for the title: I often spew half-formed shower thoughts on the show and Dave calls it "getting wet with Ian." This week, I was too angry to be wet.

Call me naive, but it'd be nice to have a secretary of state who believes in the idea of the state department instead of whatever the fuck this is.

I assume the breakdown of footage captured by 360 cameras on sports cars is something like: 1% cool shit 39% tootling around between cool shit locations 60% getting pulled over by every cop in 50 mile radius

watching the 4K release of Ronin with frankenheimer's commentary and learning that the car chases in the movie were happening *at speed*. no camera tricks or anything, they were straight up *racing*. "we set up all the actors in high performance driving school so they were used to the speeds."

So he either meant to say "Congress," or, the funnier explanation is someone told him his poll numbers with "college educated voters" and this is how it came out of his Play-Doh Fun Factory-ass head.

A Lucid with a dead battery is extremely analog.

Thanks to this vile little goblin for helping me make some progress on a unified theory of contemporary-style evil guys. defector.com/vivek-ramasw...

Hey you little couch fucker, your boss has tried to get several late night hosts taken off the air because they hurt his feelings!

using stationary storage as a way to develop and build scale around the emerging sodium ion battery cells, before putting them into cars (as Chinese automakers are just starting to), is a sign that GM is actually thinking strategically about its EV business

We've built incentives for amoral, grasping try-hards to become obsequious little ghouls. We're never going to be rid of them, so we have to disincentivize this behavior. Up to us whether we want to do that through laws or guillotines. Laws is probably less of a hassle, tbh.

If this is real, I may be interested in selling some organs in order for this to be our next family car. I WANT AN EV WAGON!

‘You Can See Everything’ is riveting, part thriller, part skeleton key for understanding the Age of the Grifter-Narcissist vincemancini.substack.com/p/you-can-se...

It is very funny that we have to hear constantly about what a political savant this man is. "Yes, I started a needless war and no you can't afford groceries but you little piggies are still going to pay for a golf course you'll never see, it's VERY IMPORTANT!"

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

I didn't catch at first this happened in Caro. If you know mid-Michigan, you know Caro is about the friendliest place imaginable for the Tommys of the world. Yes, it was an AES event, but STILL.

This is such a great example of using the "please explain it to me" tactic when confronted with bigotry. Just calmly walk the idiot to the line and dare them to cross it. So effective and usable on everyday life!

On this week's episode, after long last, we debuted our own car rating system! It consists of three ratings and covers every car ever made: SILLY (complimentary) SILLY (derogatory) What are we doing here? youtu.be/Ls3fCgbiPbQ?...

My money-no-object daydream has long been a totally custom rebuild/reimagining of my MkIV VW R32. Basically, what if Group B never ended and VW decided to build a mid-engine carbon fiber bodied Golf platform? It would be stupid expensive and serve basically no purpose and I want it.

yeah but he has a car that does flips so

Do The Kids know about Fischerspooner? youtu.be/HHbAtxSTXo0?...

Broke: Deriding cities while pumping up "real America" Woke: Espousing the benefits of a pluralistic, cosmopolitan community Bespoke: Why the fuck can't I get a decent cup of coffee in this goddamn hick town!?

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Unfucking this one in particular needs to be a priority for the new Congress. This is very, very bad. This alone is worth impeaching Hegseth.

yes I think a horse-drawn wehrmacht armed primarily with bolt action rifles would easily conquer the entire mass of africa, not get wiped out in a matter of days by Egypt's professional 21st century air force

And imagine that job was something as cushy as an ambassadorship specifically designed to keep you out of sight and out of mind!

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Stellantis I will take it all back if you bring this to the US

Hear me out: I know ev sports cars have all been failures, but I honestly think Hyundai could pull off a miata-sized ev roadster. Make it light, don't give it 3,000 ft-lbs of torque, make the styling funky.

*closes eyes, chants to self* Do not think about buying this do not think about buying this

Couldn't have timed this week's podcast episode better, where we grapple with the simultaneous feelings of "that's antisocial, you shouldn't do that," and "hell yeah, brother!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EBc...

We are moving toward a future with 3 main types of vehicles, & in fact we are almost there: 1. Gray four-door crossover the size of a Honda CR-V with invisible design. 2. $100K electric sedan with screens everywhere. 3. Giant pickup whose hood is higher than the roofs of the first two vehicle types.

Yes, they're evil ghouls, and of course they're the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. But the best part? They're also absolute dweebs.

In case you missed it last night: we are seeing reports all over the country of immigration surges and state violence. If you need whistles for your community, we will send you 100-3000 3d printed for free, and we will love doing it. 3dwhistles.com

Because he's one of the only people standing next to a Republican going, "this person is a piece of shit, I don't respect him, neither should you, he's fucking evil and he needs to go, and I don't care if it makes me sound rude saying it" LIKE EVERY DEMOCRAT SHOULD BE DOING??? MAYBE???
