Mmm no, car chases exist in other places too, they just don’t make it the highlight of the evening news with aerial footage from privately owned helicopters the way we do. 

That you clearly suffer from PTSD and should seek counseling for that first before writing on the topic of crime or police in general?

Well I wish jerks in vehicles weren’t a thing at all, completely negating the need for high speed chases to begin with. But that’s not the world we live in, Brad. In the real world, the sort of people who runs from the cops at high speed is more than likely to A) have already committed at least one serious crime, or…

You joke, but this was a thing in the 80's. 

Good. F Hyundai and their ugly ass vehicles. I hope they collectively pull a Daewoo and disappear forever. 

... or you could just buy a used Honda Accord, maybe a ‘01-’03 with less than 120k miles and a decent maintenance record, like my oldest just did for about 3 grand. I chipped in by installing an upgraded sound system and bought her first tank of gas, otherwise it was all her. It’s not glamorous, but it has a good…

Which is why most people stuck in a sub-prime loan never should have taken one out in the first place. I drove beaters with heaters for the first 15 years of my adult life, only buying new once I was absolutely in a financial situation that gave me enough breathing room to survive something like this without losing…

This, right here. Many moons ago I worked in the service and then sales (but not ever as a salesman, thank god) department of a motorhome dealership. I shook my head at the buyers driving off in their brand new 200k land yachts, knowing full well they’d be back in a couple years trying to flip the thing that was now…

Translation: there is going to be an absolute glut of barely used freshly repo’d late model vehicles on the lots in a few months. For folks looking for a newish car at discounted pricing, you’ll have your veritable pick of the litter. 

A lot of Subaru owners aren’t lesbians and don’t pick up blind strangers in cafes to go searching for secluded off-the-map scenic overlooks in the backcountry of Oregon, either. Arguably 90% of them could do in the average sedan when they pay several grand more to do in their Forrester. What’s your point?

You can pay a hooker for a lot less than the cost of a girlfriend or wife, too.
I’m still happily married and a long time truck owner. 

... or they just feel safer surrounded by as much metal as possible, and having the best view of the road ahead by sitting higher than the average sedan. Now if you’re talking about people who install ridiculous lift kits and don’t properly adjust their headlights for the increased height afterwards, that’s like,…

Wow... 2-6" wider, less than that taller, and 3-7" longer (which doesn’t mean shit to anyone but the truck owner in regards to cargo space, interior and exterior) I mean, How do you even? It’s like they’re on steroids or something, only... not. 

Translation: “Other people living in my world piss me off!! Just die already so it can be all about me again like when I was 7!!!”

They don’t discount stock that sells well. The Ranger has been selling incredibly well, so no need to offer discounts. Conversely, full sized truck buyers have gotten used to inflated MSRP being “discounted” by incentives = true opening cost before haggling. It’s stupid, I know, but that’s been the state of the truck…

... because taking your eyes off the road to see where the cursor is as you spin that stupid little wheel until it finally rests on the option you want takes a heck of a lot more time (and concurrently creates an equally larger distraction) than just looking at the screen and pressing the option you want? I love…

Sounds like the Audi 100. Dear god that thing was just a nightmare. We got one as a loaner when my dad’s Quattro was in the body shop after a nasty accident and even at 13 I can recall looking at the thing and thinking to myself “well this is some shit right here.” We had it for two weeks and three things broke on it…

Like I said, they gave me a hard time over my boots while a guy not ten feet away was trying to cram an overstuffed hiking frame into the overhead. I’ve been carrying my boots over my backpack since I was 12, all over the world on several different carriers. Southwest was the first (and only) airline to take exception…

Grow some stones and headline the story like it is: “Staff of Ellen unhappy about how ELLEN handled the COVID19 crisis.”

Not to argue your premise, but is ANY politician not struggling to raise money right now?
