Yes, it has the proper balance of stuff, and the quantity of meat isn’t so much you notice how mediocre it is.

They have been a feature of my yard for a few years! They don’t get very big when grown in pots. 

It is expensive, but you can also catch it on sale in the fall. Typically they do a Black Friday and a Holiday Sale, that’s how I went in the past. I did the single day and it’s absolutely worth it, did the AWD version.

A lot of good cars already mentioned, so I’m going to offer a pair that I didn’t see mentioned yet:

I never hear much about these, but having driven one, they are such a delightful little machine.

I like weird, quirky cars, and none fits the bill more than the first-gen Honda Insight. It looks like a car you would see in a movie that takes place “in the future”, all while returning an EPA-estimated 60+ MPG. Plus, it’s one of the few hybrids that could be had in a manual (the only other I can think of is the…

The Plymouth (and Chrysler) Prowler:

11th Gen Ford Thunderbird. Might be an unpopular opinion, but I’ve started to find intense 50's boomer nostalgia pieces from this era weirdly charming. 

How would you fix the 2nd Amendment? It isn’t about fixing that - the electoral college is more an issue than the 2nd Amendment. The issue with the 2nd Amendment is how its been interpreted where any reasonable regulation on the access to weapons is increasingly thrown out the window. Remember there were previous laws…

What? He doesn't strike me as a guy who takes himself too seriously.

Minivans. They’re objectively better at doing pretty much anything than, say, a Toyota Highlander, and if you *do* buy some 3-row crossover, exactly no-one thinks you’re a rugged individualist who drives to muddy trailheads to do outdoor sports. They think you’re a parent. And I think you just paid $10-$20k more to…

I’ve had one for 10 years and its awesome (pic not mine). You either get people who love the styling and raucous nature, or you get the miata and s2k fanbois who will find any excuse not to like it.

The Plymouth Prowler:

If you show me a hill, I’ll die on it.

I agree, the heady sci-fi concepts in the books is what kept me reading but the story and the character were all off to me. I wonder if part of the issue is a translation issue and the fact that I am missing Chinese cultural references.   I am interested to see what this looks like on screen

Don’t forget about the role Burger Chef played in the Hardee’s empire. Still miss those burgers.

I used to love Hardee’s Cinnamon and Raisin biscuits. They have since left the area but when traveling, I’ve checked and I don’t think they make them anymore.   

I’m interested to see how this one will play out. IMO, the books have a lot of amazingly cool sci-fi/physics ideas in them, but are otherwise terrible in ways that might play into Benihoff and Weiss’ own storytelling flaws. Feels like it might well end up a mess, but probably quite an interesting one, and maybe the…

Nope. Hardee’s has had a very weird history in the Chicago area. They were here for years, but the franchisee that had exclusive rights to the territory went bankrupt and all of them closed. This was about 25-30 years ago. Hardee’s then tried to get back into the market 15 or so years ago and opened quite a few…
