Well its hard to know, because I didn’t go to said cheaper schools. You can argue results on both sides. You can also say my degree is simply for the name of the school. You could also argue that I have a more rounded education than someone who didn’t go to my school. Theres not really a way to prove either.

I went to tiny private schools and use the knowledge I learned on a daily basis in work and in life in general.

How is a crossover any different than the garbage 80-90s S-10 based blazers you still see (somehow) driving around. Those things were awful and also not large. Thats what I associate with Blazers.

I love arguing with intentionally obtuse people. Speed-unrestricted is commonly shortened to unrestricted, you numpty.

You can learn stick in Drivers Ed though. At least I was able to in 1999. I doubt things have changed.

“we would certainly be taking full throttle runs against each other to see how fast they would go on the “unrestricted” autobahn”

This is an absurd line of thinking. Pseudoscience and made up statistics are awesome ways to paint over your “women are inferior” mindset.

Having driven a 5MT 98 GLX frequently in college (my then-girlfriend, now-wife had one) I have to contest the clutch feedback you have. Could just be a old clutch or old fluid or a bad slave, but I recall the clutch on my wife’s car as being amazingly easy to modulate and it provided great feedback. I still rank it as…

You don’t see whats wrong here? Really?

That grille looks like an angry Admiral Ackbar. I’m not really sure whether thats a good thing or a bad thing...

Fair enough, I’ve not driven on the NJ Turnpike but I’ve driven between Newark and Vermont a number of times. Not sure if thats similar or not.

1) Thats definitely a minus, mismatched is really annoying, however the S5 interior bits really are superior and frankly nobody will really care about the S5 embossing vs the RS4.

uhhh, I can haz for my b7 A4? Thanks!

Alaska is the best. Its the only Airline we fly unless they simply don’t fly where we’re going. I generally don’t even price shop other airlines unless its a really expensive ticket then I might, but I’ll still often pay more for what I know will be a good experience.

I see about a dozen on my daily commute. Electric cars make sense in larger cities with decent infrastructure and people with the cash to buy a luxury “experiment” car like a BEV.

Chipping is a bit different. In that case of your Saab, yea there was a HOT version that was just a software recalibration, but the Viggen had a different turbo and (I think) beefed up internals. When you crank a tiny stock t25 up to 20-psi, sure you can make as much power as a TD04 in the Viggen, but the durability…

I don’t see the huge fuss here. And likely this will be the new norm. As more an more things become reliant on software controlling general purpose hardware, this makes sense. There are plenty of manufacturers who disable software features unless you purchase that option, whereby that feature is “unlocked” by a coding…

I laughed hard enough from this article to get salsa up my nose, prompting some sort of mixed laughter/coughing/sneezing fit, and my coworkers to ask if I was going to live.

I’ll allow it.

Haha!
