The wife has this in her new Outback Touring XT and freaking loves it.  She used to scrape the overhang in her old Escape all the time because she had trouble seeing the front of the hood, a problem my co-workers also have (4'11" and 5'2" respectively).   Complete game changer for her.

Right, I thought surely this is just a typo in the byline but then they double down with it in the body of the article with a link that doesn’t mention anything about it being mid-engined (because it is not).

I’ve been in more than a few floatplane near wrecks in AK. You are right, once it’s on step between then and when it gets airborne, pilot can’t see much. I’ve been in the co-pilot seat many times in Beavers (go ahead jalops, there’s your opening)

Agreed. On my Fiat I’ve got 3 sets of tires: summer performance (Pirelli P Zero), winter (Blizzak WS-80), and gravel/dirt (Federal G-10 Gravel). Ain’t no way I would be driving the Pirellis on gravel or the Federals on the highway if I can avoid it.

OK, I’ll run you on any sand track you want using any vehicle you want.  You get slicks and I’ll get paddle tires.  

Woah! I’ve never been “proud” of a makeup brand, but this article did it. I’ve been wearing e.l.f. Cosmetics since I came out as trans a decade ago. To date, it’s the only brand that matches my skin tone right on point without making me spend a disgusting amount of money. So heck yeah, I’m going to keep on buying that…

ah yes, those pesky cyclists and their cycle lanes. ruining the day for everyone...

Bah, forgot. Thunderstorms today, so drove. Rode 3 days this week and WFH 1 day, so it’s all good.

Most people who bicycle, especially outside the US, are not hobbyists.  They’re people getting groceries, going to work, or headed to a social function.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say a 1967 Chevrolet C-10 2wd longbox with a full bed cap. Preferably with a 250 cu.in inline 6, a three-on-the-tree, and a hand choke.

Yup, I have a ‘24 Limited and it accelerates just fine. Does it have the acceleration of my old E90 335i? No, but it does everything so well that I’m fine with it.

Same for the Outback, I’m assuming that’s for the 2.4 and not the 2.5 as that is closer to 6 seconds.

Reality Of Owning The Hottest Tesla

What strikes me is the lack of repairability. You have a minor bump enough to even fractionally damage one of those so called giga-castings and the vehicle will be totaled.

Watched Hoovies Garage, and I’m a little frightened by how easy some of those tabs broke. I can’t say this vehicle was well designed, more of here is a shell, just fit everything in there...

And yet, people still buy these fugly vehicles. 

I like this one the best.

He says he’s a doctor but I don’t see any markings, white coat or stethoscope so I think it’s only fair for someone to pull a gun on him, force him to the ground, make him show his medical board credentials and his med school degree for good measure because everyone knows what’s going on in the US with people…

“Which side is the appendix again?”

Today I learned that there is another line to the “shut up/throw up” rhyme.
