This actually sounds like the worst to me. I live in a far northern city (US, but further north than a majority of the population of Canada) which is probably the hilliest in the Midwest (the real, actual Midwest, not the pretend one existing only in the imagination of New Yorkers which begins in Buffalo and goes west…

Switzerland. They have outrageously huge fucking fines for everything, the speed limits are idiotically low, and there are cameras everywhere. Scary as fuck [for my wallet] driving there.

It was mostly a joke, I don’t think G/O does ads based on google analytics. They just push those ads at everyone, which is kind of annoying and gross. I don’t need to read about dildos when I’m at work.

Yeah no I mean these:

Oddly, it is the opposite. I use a network ad blocker (pi-hole),  so browsing with no tracking yields all the sex toy ads on jalopnik.

Username checks out!

Stop dwelling on it and just order one already. 

Always this.  I grew up where it snows every winter and so learned how to drive in it.  Came to Nashville and it does no good.  The people here don’t know how to handle snow and ice so it’s more dangerous with them on the road. 

Anytime you see someone make a couple sloppy moves in short succession, move far away. You don’t want someone else’s sloppy behavior to force your hand in an emergency situation.

The minefield between Mauritania and Morocco / Western Sahara is quite tense the first time you drive through it. Stay on the soft sand - if you think you see a road surface, that’s more likely to have landmines.

Why is every main page now riddled with sex toy ads/articles? (Jalopnik, io9...)

I will slightly reframe the question as “What’s the stupidest place you ever drove?”

They used to run these at 6.30pm Sunday nights on an irregular basis here in Perth Australia. It used to thrill me when I heard the theme. I was in for great hour!

In my childhood (1960s), that music was always associated in my mind with Jacques Cousteau.

Agreed, it’s instantly recognizable. I doubt I had heard that in the last 18 years but soon as I heard the trumpets I remembered. 

Now its all about red necks who moved to Alaska and can’t get enough of how tough they are because it’s cold up there.

As a lifelong parallel parker living in a large East Coast city that is known for its loathing of New York, that rear bumper is just more proof that we’re right. 

3M sells plastic repair goo in a tube that can be used to rebuild the broken bumper tabs and Honda sells the plastic strips that lock the repaired bumper to the body.

We have the 4th gen and the handle cutout in the roof is too low. Ergonomics are not ideal for long walks. It looks like they made a more intentional, slightly raised handle on the 5th gen but it still looks pretty low.

You’re burying the lede - it’s now got a spoiler/handle. I’ve got legit lower back issues from pushing my daughter around all hunched over - it was at an exact awkward angle, not too low not high enough
