This is the best thing in LA. Probably the best rotisserie chicken and shawarma I have ever had. My wife only found out about it because she loves true crime, and she saw some show about how the son of the family that started Zankou ended up shooting his sister and mother, then himself

This post is a rollercoaster.

Anyone know how the new STI’s are? I think I’m going to get a 2018 in a year or two since we’re gonna buy the missus a new car next month and imma drive her G6 until we’ve saved enough cash to buy me a car that I would like cash since we’ve been debt free and being able to stack paper and not have monthly payments owns so hard, plus may as well let someone else take the depreciation hit

They're pretty much the same as the 15+ STIs as far as I can tell. Fun cars.

Still clinging to the EJ for some reason - I would assume the FA24DIT from the Ascent will find its way into the STI eventually.

Buying used, I would lean towards a 15+ WRX instead and squeeze the seller hard to figure out if they've ruined the car before you got your hands on it.

Sounds like no more motortrend youtube. Slightly annoying, but I imagine this helps their bottom line a bit.

Discuss.

I can understand why they're doing it, but it's definitely going to kill their momentum. Maybe they feel they've already plateaued? I dunno.

This bit at the end of Freiburger's FB post about it is somewhat telling:

Freiburger has already been forced to be present at the death of an online video platform so I would imagine he has pretty good instincts at this point.

It was thanks to occupational foods I took in HS which was the best class ever.

I had a food course in junior high that introduced meats to us by playing a 20/20 dramatic re-enactment of the Jack In The Box food poisoning death spree in California.

It's taken a long time for me to get over my complete fear of food poisoning everyone around me by even looking at raw meat sideways. Now I can (sort of) cook!

That's filmed on a cellphone, at night, with some light and other objects in the foreground. Unless he's secretly using his brights or the phone camera he's recording on is better than what Uber uses on its most important investments, that is pretty damning

I mean on the other hand, the Uber Volvo is supposed to have thousands of dollars of high-end LIDAR and other sensors on it that were programmed with stolen code from another autonomous vehicle startup, so what human beings can physically see doesn't really enter into it in my book.

The idea of having a human being sit in the car and watch patiently for the 1% of the time it runs over a pedestrian vs the 99% of the time it boringly trudges through featureless suburban grey is also one that is doomed to failure.

I guess I put too much faith in Uber to have powerful, high framerate, HDR cameras to really show what's happening for this kind of situation. Especially considering that every accident I know of involving a self driving car has been the fault of other drivers, documenting that poo poo is important

These things are supposed to save the money-burning furnace they call a business model. For Christ's sake, Uber...

I mean, the camera isn't driving the car. The camera footage is what they give to the police.

After driving this Civic in anger I now feel like I wasted the last 15 years of my life never owning one.

Jesus loving christ this thing is FUN. Any car that has me laughing like a goddamn maniac before I'm in 3rd gear or breaking the speed limit is a win, but pulling out of a corner in 2nd at 6k with poo poo rear end tires squealing and the car still begging for more like a loving puppy...

I wanted a beater, and now I want an LSD and R comps.
