There is a joke floating in the aether about republicans, illiteracy and reading, but I cannot quite grasp it. Oh well, back to my books.

and they drive anyway. 

Back in 1999 we bought a new hyundai accent for $10000 my cousin bought a used Malibu for $10000. The used car was a money pit and needed all kinds of very expensive repairs including a transmission. Our Accent needed nothing for the 11 years we owned it. If you are willing to have basic transportation, New sometimes…

I have never even tried the autopark feature. Cruise only when driving across the great plains. Not a fan of steering wheel heater. Highbeams hardly ever.

I am an old, Those cars are so so much better than new cars of old and are fine for daily transpiration. If people want a hobby car/ weekend racer then they can spend more. Frills are not as important as reliable transportation for most. 

yes! I would rather have stuff to watch that is new and not multiple streaming platforms full of stuff I already have seen. 8 good episodes then a 2 year wait is not enough. 

“Shows that spit out 8 episodes every 2 years are just not going to keep people hooked to these platforms, especially as prices keep escalating.”

I love pizza, I hate that where I live these monsters cut round pizza into squares. I just do not think I could pay $600 for my own backyard pizza oven. 

There is literally research showing they help here is one https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0160449X19883373

My family tries to do our best to blend in. stay and eat away from tourist areas and realize we are guests in their country. Yes American tourists have earned their reputations and other countries have bad tourists also. If you have been to Venice and you will know.

The xenophobia is out of hand in this country

Some small ancient Clark is way more fun than some nice newer Toyota.

Yes, I have spent time is several major European cities and found the public transportation vastly superior to anything here short of NY and DC and still better than NY and DC.

True but they are doing as they are told. In my town public transport is killed because the residents do not want “those people” taking public transport to “our” town.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is very bad stuff and very painful and debilitating. I hope she get relief and sues the hell out of everyone involved. 

We need cars because we have such bad public transportation and we use the lack of public transportation for segregation.

I have done smokey burnouts on oil spills and had 4 people bouncing on the back for traction when overloading it moving heavy stuff. And if you mean 2 wheels, one front and one back , done. 

Having done very dangerous things on and with forklifts when working in a used diesel engine remanufacture, back in my mid 20s, I think it no problem to make one slower.

I love this, not at that price, as someone that bombed down logging roads with a load of firewood in the Appalachians in the 1980's with my 1978 VW rabbit.

What % of bankruptcies are due to wages and not some other situation?
