Never been to Buc-ee’s, but all the rest are just kind of meh. I stop at Sheetz a lot because of where I drive for work, but there is no great gas station food IMO. I do like the variety that Sheetz has to offer though. I can get a veggie wrap or deep-fried mac and cheese, even tacos and a ton of other stuff.

You know Apple was not the first smart phone or phone with that form factor...right? Sure, most of the others had real keyboards, but same overall shape. 

Unsustainable incentives are also on the OEM side, fed tax credit aside. 

The problem is that even with rising sales, pretty much all OEM’s are hemorrhaging money selling them.

Hmm, we must try this for science. I haven’t seen a car review that lists the amount of average humans put through a grinder that could fit in a car. 

I get that a lot of commuting is done solo, but so many people go places with more than one other person, it makes no sense to me.

A 2 seat “cybercab”? 2 seats, really? 

I mean, the base LX starts at $93k and the Ultra Luxury version starts at $134k, with other trims in between, so yes would be your answer. Agree they are missing out on a lot of things that are needed for strip mall runs though.

Yep, exactly. What a shit show.

My wife has one, not an f-sport though, and it has been just fine. She doesn’t drive a lot, but for a 2013 with only 91k miles on it, it is good. Interior is pretty nice but maybe a touch small with all four of us in it, hatch is kind of small too. Great gas mileage, trouble free ownership over the past 8 years and…

Me either, so it is hard to say. But traditionally creditors are near the top. I would assume vendors and people owed money get lumped into that segment but then there are different levels secured/unsecured and bond holders with different rights and all that. Where you don’t want to be is after the creditor class with…

Yes, Biden went around a put lamb’s blood on the doors to signify houses to destroy and not destroy... At least that is what I heard.

It just looks like it was tested in years past and the top pick connotation carries through to the end of that generation unless there is some change or new test. From a segment stance, the Rav is definitely a small SUV or CUV if you will, Highlander is mid-sized.

I did check Volvo and MB, MB was a bit harder to figure out, no small SUVs shown back to 2017, so maybe they didn’t make it? But Volvo had 4 small SUV’s that were tested in ‘23 or ‘22 and their ratings are good through at least ‘24.

I have a feeling it is due to no new models being tested in ‘24. I checked Toyota, who also doesn’t show up here for anything and a lot of their models were tested in years past and ratings go until this MY or possibly further.

This list is a bit misleading as it looks like a lot of vehicles weren’t tested or retested in ‘24 but their tests before this year still carry the same ratings. For example, the Rav4 isn’t on here, but on the IIHS site their rating of top pick is good for MY ‘19-’24. I am sure this is the same with other OEM’s/Models.

Yea, that is definitely the case. Not sure where a recall exists in the BK preceding classes though. Maybe they are lucky and get in before creditors but if they are behind that class, they are not getting anything. 

Good to see the one guy keeping his orange lidded cooler of beer from tipping over! Great work guy!

Getting money back would be like trying to squeeze blood from a rock. There isn’t anything there, so good luck to owners on getting the issues fixed or getting any money back. 

Yea, just looking into it, that sure seems to be the case. I feel like something should be done there. Like if you have a car that is worth more than a certain amount (IDK, $300, $500k?), you need to insure yourself above that number. I don’t know minimum coverages in my state, but I think my policy is up to $300k or…
