This is bang-on....the “scare Mom” upsell is to make no promises that she’ll be sitting next to her 4-year old, despite the fact that no one would choose to sit next to someone else’s 4-year old, and Mom would scream bloody murder if they attempted to separate. I’m betting it works though, as Mom will almost always…

They tried to do that to my family. Tried to get a guy to swap seats with me, but he refused and the flight attendants were equally unhelpful, so I buckled my kid in, walked away, and waited until her frantic wailing convinced him otherwise. Complete dick move on my part, but I didn’t give a fuck by then.

i hate the airlines with a furious burning passion. I am so happy to work from home these days - and when its vacation I take a car

Back when Colbert was dope, seems like another lifetime. 

Using it with an ipod is new fangled kids stuff - hooking it up to your portable CD player - now thats the way

People pretending that crank windows are more reliable and have finer control are always funny. I remember tons of crank windows that broke, and tons that just weren’t particularly exact in their use.

We need another “cash for clunkers” type program, but for BEVs and, I would argue, hybrids as well.

As for the price of EVs overall, it might just be that... EVs might just cost automakers a ton to make, and lower prices from scale just aren’t coming any time soon.

Where are all the “direct sales will save us all” folks? Tesla literally says you can return the car without an issue, but wrote in an arbitration clause so you can’t do it easily.

I’d be willing to at least take a look when it comes state-side.

I don’t know if Volvo is the benchmark of reliability we should be measuring against....

All things being equal, winter tires will perform better than all-season tires in wintry conditions.

Station wagons are better than SUV’s.

FWIW they showed the new RWD SUV and said 3 more will follow. The one they showed starts at $44k (not sure if euro or pound). The 2.0L miata starts at 30k in England and 29k here. The platform and engines are there and it could have been affordable. Thats why I had hope.

At least Ford gave it a cool name.

Anyone who doesn’t offer yellow on at least one vehicle is dead to me.

The only cars I see with a nice color selection are Chevy Sparks

LOL no he doesn’t. This is a broken clock situation. 

Your girl and her girlfriends planned very poorly or just suck on roadtrip planning in general since I’ve driven in my Model 3 performance from central Texas to Carlsbad just fine since there are plenty of superchargers along the way.... even more so than CCS chargers from Electrify America. An EV is perfectly fine on…
