I mean children exist, they aren’t all that aware of their surroundings all the time. It’s not that bad of an idea to have extra noise at low speeds.

One source of potable water. ONE. That’s what I say to cruisers when I reject their suggestion of going on a cruise. There’s not enough filter straws to get me on a ship for more than a day.

Yea between this and whole ships getting Norovirus I think I’ll skip cruises forever.

Retro designs of 20 years ago? But the New Beetle, the new MINI, the T-Bird, the PT Cruiser, the 5th Gen Mustang... they all came out in... [checks notes]... crap. I’m old.

It’s almost like they kind of wanted to make a Jeep Gladiator, but they ordered it from Wish.com

It looks fine, but these are really bothering me

An 8 year old Mazda for $11k PLUS 27.9APR on a 68 month loan? HOLY SHIT...

We used to have a piercing nozzle, about 3' long with a sharp tip and a blunt back end that you could hit with a hammer. We used it for trailer fires, punch it through the side of the trailer and turn on the water.

I am going to assume the Hyundai EV team did not overlook such an obvious detail.

People who think they need 300 mile range typically only need it a VERY small amount of time with the rest of the time being a much smaller range. The answer for them is really a PHEV that will eliminate 90% of fuel consumption and all the range needed for long drives with zero range anxiety.

If you struggle with the d rings shop around, some helmets use a seat belt type buckle, set and forget. Flip fronts are nice for street riding, although they are not allowed for racing.

Unclear why an unidentified drone cannot be shot down when flying in restricted airspace over a military installation despite the “law”.

“I could write an article about a Cybertruck owner driving nearly 100 mph through a neighborhood that nearly killed a motorcyclist, or I could write a dopey article about a harmless movie prop car. Better go with the movie prop story, just to be on the safe side.”

Mostly, I think the answer is that you know EXACTLY what you’re doing here. This is an entire writeup built out of the premise of “WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THINGS THAT I DON’T LIKE?!”

Because its a cool car from a great movie

Hi. Gen X here. This entire article is why Boomers say Millennials are dipshits.

I was trying to remember the name of these things the other day. I always liked the looks of them.

Vw EOS. Essentially a gli in convertible form.

Draw a Venn digram of all those things — comfort, safety, FWD, mature, under $15K, reasonable maintenance, Colorado-climate friendly, good road-tripper — and you’ll see this baby right dead set in the middle:

I bet you can find a Buick Cascada with like 75k miles for around $14-15k. It’s FWD and should be relatively cheap to repair. It’ll have crap resale value, but at least it looks better than the Solara.  On the plus side -- no one will know what it is.  When is the last time *you* saw one of these?
