I just want to note that the aircraft on the 757 loses a nose wheel slide is not, in fact, a 757.

None of the seams look straight... door frame, bumper...   ND.      If I’m going to get such an odd vehicle, it’s at least going to be at spec. 

1st gen is a reasonable argument, yes.  

I drove one for the first time and really liked it.  I could own one of those.  I know a lot of so-called crossovers that drive not really any better, so why not get a real offroad capable vehicle?

Ha, that’s more like, “what car had charm, was easy and cheap to fix, but rusted to pieces and was a deathtrap”.     Pity that there’s not a modern Kharman Ghia---that has the looks but then also runs reliably.  

I know lots of people with high mileage F-150s in various trims.   But I know some with your experience.   Ford could do better.  I don’t think they are the worse automaker out there, but I know they are not the best.    Their recall list is never empty.  

I agree with your response.  My answer to this was a Mazda 6 Grand Touring.  All the bells and whistles.  Looks classy from most angles.  Still going strong at 160k miles and minimal maintenance. 

It sort of depends on the year/model, but generally speaking, this is a not wrong answer.   My only quibble is that until the newest model, which is a different thing, the Prius was intended for trading away most driving priorities in favor of fuel economy.  Which is fine... just not my personal priority.   It’s a…

That’s the kind of thing one takes a photo of, and this is the kind of website you post it on, and this is the kind of thing I show up for. There should be a post of just this: show us your high mileage rollovers and your stories behind them. Congrats.

Honda Minivan, then Toyota Minivan. I like the Honda a bit better, but they need to step it up with a hybrid/PHEV. Toyota’s PHEV is nice.
A minivan is the Leatherman of vehicles. It does everything reasonably well in a pinch, but not good at any extreme except the one extreme—it will swallow lots of people or stuff,…

If I was forced to, I’d roll the dice with a Ram 1500.  I think that’s your best bet.   They seem to be ok.   (now I’m waiting for a rash of comments about Ram 1500's going kaput at 75k miles or less)  

Next you’ll be telling me you found it at St Marks Place & 2nd Ave.

As Cory Doctorow has said, you’ll be held “in felony contempt of shareholder”. 

If you look at The Drive’s comments on that article, it’s filled with weird corporate shill types defending the company, so it’s interesting.  

As someone with the last gen of the Intel Macbook Pro 16", I never understood the hate for the touch bar given the physical escape button.   I make use of it.  I’ll miss it when I upgrade, but oh well.   Apple has made far, far worse mistakes.  Pity they can’t put a screen on every key, but apparently that’s too…

I owned an 88 Sapphire blue MR2 and always lusted after the newer cars, but for $20k I can think of a whole lot of places I’d rather put that money than this...a whole lot of cars.   Sorry... no way.   

well that’s fun

that story’s got a lot of twist and turns

or if you’re not a PoC.  

Well, they do have a penchant for blowing holes in Black people there for not entirely justified reasons, so yeah, Columbus be a problem at times.
