Man, the F1 coverage on this site is dismal.

Why Sargeant is still with the team is completely beyond me. Surely someone out there would bring more money and talent to the team. 

And in real-world use, it will probably end up being even worse. Yes, definitely give me the largely untested and significantly more complicated twin-turbo I6 instead of a big dumb lumpy V8 that’s essentially been around since the early 60s.

If they can find funding for more tow operators and more storage lots, why can’t they hire more people to get these cars back to who they belong to instead? I wonder... does storing them and then auctioning them off get them more money....?

None of this story makes any f’ing sense to me. Eight minutes?!? That’s an eternity. That’s long enough to get a phone call and drive 5 miles to save them. What on Earth was going through these people’s heads? 

Ha. Not much. Until I was 35, my most expensive car was $7k which I bought outright in 2011. A 2003 CR-V. A five speed! Was a great little trucklet. Put big Geolanders on it and did all kinds of dumb stuff.

Great, now I’ve got that song firmly stuck in my head.

Lol. Yes. 

Absolutely. There are legitimate criticisms and non-legitimate. This, as my mother would say, is a nothing burger. Frankly, it’s not far off from needing to be told that towing something will decrease your range.

That’s how I feel. There’s reasons to dump on this truck - but this one seems like a silly one. 

I mean, I realize it’s a factory installed thing, so it’s not exactly the same, but what is the mileage difference for a regular truck with a tonneau cover open and closed? I suspect not all that far off...? And now you can buy factory tonneau as an option, so it’s really not all that different? I don’t know, this…

I have blasted through deeper puddles in my Forester, which is nine years old. This is a ludicrously incapable vehicle. 

So good. I want to read them again. 

God the second and third books were so good. But... that ending... surely it won’t be satisfying to most viewers... think of how badly they accepted Bran the Broken. Lol. 

I still can’t quite wrap my head around how they will bring this story into the film and how it can be adapted for mass-appeal by Western audiences. I assume it will end up quite niche and I find it unlikely that it will cross all the boundaries that GoT managed to cross. This is hard sci-fi with dense “science” and…

I join you in your hatred of chrome - especially chrome plastic. It is god awful, and outside of cars from the 50s and 60s, I don’t want to see it anywhere. So, I’m with you. And hey, contrary to the other poster, I love the yellow lights. 

It’s all pretty wild. Billions of reasons to keep getting defense contracts. Billions of reasons to keep selling airplanes.

Yeah, Nissan switched up the new Pathfinder’s transmission to a traditional auto, but the last gen Pathfinder had a CVT and, like the Nissan Rogue, it was a disaster. And from what I hear, the new Pathfinder is a completely fine vehicle and pretty competitively priced compared to the Toyota and Honda. 

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing that, I wasn’t aware. I would be inclined to agree - makes a lot of sense that the largest wear and tire would be the initial load of accelerating a few thousand times a year. 

This is a boring prompt, so, I’m going off topic (but related!), has any manufacturer created a truly reliable CVT transmission? Honda has sudden CVT death syndrome. Nissan’s is famously awful. Subaru’s is similarly problematic. The only one I don’t really hear about is Toyota’s, but it’s not in that many vehicles, so…
