Everything from In-n-Out is kind of meh to be honest, but the fries are tragic. As said in the article, they need to punch, blanche, then fry the potato and salt when hot from the fryer. We occasionally make them at home this way and they come out really well. I know it’ll get me hate from the west coast but I’ll live.

If the Kia dealers around here weren’t barely above “buy here, pay here” lots, I might consider it.

I love the FC models. The best ones I ever saw were ones they used to resurface the ice rinks at Sun Valley, ID; the resurfacer sat in the truck bed and they drove it around the rink. They were still using them in the mid-80s, but I’m sure they’ve gone to standard resurfacers by now. (BTW the early Zamboni resurfacers…

Older Toyota oil filters had an annoying problem of the gasket sticking better to the engine block than to the filter when pulling ‘em off. I haven’t owned a Toyota in ages but I still always check the gasket is on the filter and nothing is stuck to the block surface.

I live in northern New England and worked with a guy who rode his ancient BMW with sidecar all year long. At least you have some stability with three wheels.

I really wanted to buy a Volvo V60 T8 (now Recharge) Polestar Engineered when my lease was up on my V60 T6 but they were impossible to get (my dealer was able to procure 1 for a customer), so I went SUV with a leased XC90 T8. Most of my trips around town in these COVID times can be done 100% on battery or near to it.…

A Citroën C4 Cactus would be wonderful. I’ve owned two older Citroëns (a DS and SM) and would love to own a new one!

As a tail-end Boomer, let me just say I have no idea WTF people of my age are thinking anymore; people I’ve known 40-50 years have gone completely off their nut!

Yep it does. I live on a rural route and all sorts of vehicles besides LLVs show up. Our usual carrier has a RHD 4 door Wrangler. Another has an ancient minivan fitted with a driver ed style passenger controls. Another place I lived had a carrier that had an old PD Crown Vic that he stretched across and drove from the…

From the time I’ve spent traveling in Canada over the past 40+ years, I have to agree that Chalet Sauce is not my thing. (As an American I will add, neither is Ranch dressing.) I spent a lot of time in Montréal in my college days, and while St-Hubert is tasty and seemingly everywhere, for sentimental reasons my…

Since the GM dealers knew sweet FA about the EVs they were selling to date, GM has a lot of work ahead of them. Example — the local dealer put two 220v charging stations in late 2019. When I bought a used Volt from them in 2018, they had to charge it on 110v (then forgot to put the charging unit back in the car).…

The last picture looks like the interior of my XC90 T8. It’s a very comfortable place to be.

2nd gear: My wife and I both had TDI SportWagens, the only difference was hers had DSG and mine was a manual. I easily got 45mpg around town and 50-60mpg on highway trips. Neither car had any problems in the 3-4 years we owned them (and my wife was putting a huge amount of miles on her car at the time.) I do miss them,…

I had a coupe. Mine caught fire one day while driving even though I kept up with all the things that caused engine fires in the V12. It wasn’t even a usual one like the distributor or fuel supply hoses but an injector leak. The car was totaled.

Having owned one old Jaaaag (XJ-S V12) I feel your pain.

I’m a Delta frequent flier (not this year where I’m a Zoom FF) and have nothing but good to say about the company. They’ve taken the pandemic seriously and are showing unruly/asshole passengers the hand. I’m all for it and will be back on Delta once I start flying again.

Put a couple of mannequins in there and have some fun.

It’s more of a Mass. thing where the unions are much stronger.

The only TV station I listen to from Boston is ch. 10 for the NBC nightly news, so it’s only based on that sample. I agree that “vote no” are on more as the auto manufacturers have much deeper pockets.

Though I don’t live in MA, I see the commercials from the Boston stations. The first time I saw one of the “stalking” ads, I thought, “did I miss something?” The second time I saw the ad I realized it’s the auto manufacturers introducing fear and a lot of BS into the equation. (The fact that I’ve bought more than one…
