1. Who cares about speed for your day to day car?

Actually, it could be fairly argued that his death was far more tragic - in a classic sense - than most of the things people call “tragedies” today.

PBS Frontline is airing “Amazon Empire” tomorrow so timing is interesting.

I hear you but it depends. Sometimes it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Like yeah it’s brakes and exhaust an inspection now, but there could be a lot of other things that are close to replacement and when you add that all up it’s not the worst idea to consider what the total costs in the near term might be and if…

So yes, that one specific crossover compared poorly to your wagon, but many of your complaints here are model-specific. If you wanted a CUV badly enough you could find one that would address literally all of these issues.

Lauding her drive and willingness to do amazing things is great, and I’m sure as hell sad about this, but calling people gutless and sheep because they choose not to take unnecessary risks for an adrenaline thrill is some really pathetic projecting.

That’s some pretty damning stuff.  It’s almost as if powerful people were friends with Jeffrey Epstein and his contacts kept him above the law.  Almost as if our entire justice system were fundamentally broken due to corruption; but if that were true then we’d see a lot of poor, largely powerless individuals being…

Richardson went from female to male in the span of a few minutes, by your account. Most impressive! 

Hyperbole is without a doubt the single greatest invention in communication!

I’m confused about how “endless” could be an understatement.  :)

No they're not.

That helmet isn’t going to do much if the chin strap isn’t secured. Well, outside of choking you when the helmet comes loose when you crash.
