I’m jealous that you’ve still got things that don’t appeal to other people. Colorado, Denver especially, has so many people moving here that it feels like the majority of people aren’t from here now. I get surprised reactions when I say I grew up here. Subsequently I’m seeing things like graffiti up in the mountains…

A model T is crap because it doesn’t have Bluetooth, duh. What kind of self respecting engineer 112 years ago wouldn’t include Bluetooth? Hawt taek on Balaban’s part.

This, but also it was just designed to meet a different set of priorities from what any modern car is built with.

I have no idea what the hell a “ROW Prado” is other than a Prado with three letters in front of it, but I do have personal experience with a 21 year old 4Runner with 260k miles on it, that has a sunroof that is nice to have, is used often, and has never caused any trouble of any sort. Your arguments are stupid unless…

Boooo

I have to say, despite what faults it has, my girlfriend’s 2016 Crosstrek has a pretty remarkably smooth ride. Especially so with oversize tires. It’s most prominent on large bumps like speedbumps and ruts and rocks.

I don’t know why you get that feeling. For 3 years I drove a manual in S.F. Bay Area traffic on a commute that took 20 minutes with no other cars, but up to 4 hours at rush hour(s) - this was crossing the Bay Bridge. Sometimes it was difficult, like steep on-ramps where everyone else was going 1/8th mph, but having to…

My parents own a 1997 4Runner with a sunroof, and few of your arguments apply. The sunroof is small, probably doesn’t weigh much (and this is on a body-on-frame truck, so what does its weight matter anyway?), has never leaked, has never broken, and when opened with the tailgate window down creates a nice breeze…

Yeah, his comment doesn’t totally make sense, but you absolutely will hear something dumber today because you live in America in 2019 and news exists. I don’t know why you wear being mean and rude as a badge of pride.

What a good game.

Those seats sound amazing honestly, hahaha.

I’m not here to say old cars are as safe as new cars, but that test wasn’t a perfect example because the X-frame design of the 59 Bel Air was notoriously unsafe even by 1950s standards. I imagine a test with something like a Ford of the same era would have turned out slightly less horrifying. Fords of the late 50s had…

I betcha it has the same ground clearance as most modern crossovers and SUVs though. My Falcon has 7" I think and it’s a compact from the era.

You’d have to daily drive an old (60s or earlier) car to understand. But the lack of power steering makes no difference in drivability in any situation other than parallel parking, if my 68 Falcon is rolling I can steer with two fingers. It’s nothing like trying to turn the wheel in a modern car with no power steering…

I don’t see private ownership going away. A car is a private space, and saying people won’t want to own their own anymore because they’re autonomous and easy to rent is like saying people won’t want to own their own houses anymore because of Airbnb. Sure, a lot of people will be fine with not owning their own, the…

I agree. As someone who lives with severe anxiety and depression, nothing has so solidly ensured that I will never commit suicide as loosing my best friend at 13 to suicide did. Even when I’ve felt no other reason to be alive, I’ve still known I would never do it because nothing I felt could justify making everyone…

Haha, I thought there was no way someone else would’ve chosen the Christmas Story Oldsmobile. A not insignificant part of me wants to “grow up” to drive a 1937 Oldsmobile and yell at my furnace, I’m not really sure why.

Ugh, old Wesfalias, and pretty much any old 4x4s. A first gen Bronco that is half rust will sell for $8,000.

Agreed, the production of the video was really odd. The audio was crappy and had a lot of clipping too. But her reaction was great.

Yeah, humidity is a quick way to kill me. I’m only comfortable if its bone dry. If you visit Moab (and it’s very dry year round, there is no wet time of year) your lips will probably peel and your cuticles will fall apart. I also sneeze a lot if I’ve just gotten back from a more humid place, and get a few bloody noses…
