Eh, ‘79 or ‘82, not much between them.

That is, indeed, the holy trinity. Same one I had. I assume that means born around the same time - I’m ‘82. A simpler era.

I live in upstate New York. Around me, minivans are wildly, exceedingly unpopular. It’s either men in four-door pickups or women in SUVs (preferably full-size, Wagoneer, Escalade, Tahoe, in that order). But there are a butt load of Tellurides. Anyway, it means there are Toyota Sienas for sale all over. Within 100…

For me, it’s the completely non-competitive (to the Bugatti or the F1) Ferrari F40. It was the poster on my wall and the car that’s always been in my head as the unobtainable thing. I know it’s not a great car. But, it is what it is. Lol. 

Like jb21 said, watching Clarkson gush about it on Top Gear was what made it clear that the car was something special. He’d driven just about everything under the sun and just couldn’t shut up about the Veyron. This article is similar that way.

Hands down was my friend’s girlfriend’s Nissan Versa. I know it’s a cheap car, but I have never driven a shittier car than that. Everything about it was unpleasant. Uncomfortable seats. Terribly harsh and stiff ride while also being uncommunicative to the driver. Miserably loud and drony. Cornering was a chore because…

I think the minivan is going to have its own renaissance moment soon. In speaking of the Odyssey, the wait lists for that vehicle are pretty intense, especially in hybrid form which has wait times anywhere from 1 to 4 years. I think minivans will come back as people embrace practicality. Ram and Ford full-size trucks…

I guess apples to apples, yes, Telluride is cheaper. But not this Telluride, the SX Prestige, which starts at $51k. Theoretically, you should be able to get a Sienna awd for around $42k, but god only knows what the wait time on it is. I should probably place my order now in hopes for 2025. 

Mid-size three-row SUVs are just the most absurd things to me. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but, I’ll never get it. With the third row seats up you get 21 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s nothing. That’s less than a Honda HR-V (24). And wayyyy less than the small/large SUVs like the Nissan Rogue (36) or…

I was looking at some property for sale the other day in eastern New York (east of Albany, nearing the MA border). It was pretty easy to buy 5-10 acres for somewhere in the neighborhood of $40-70k. So, on that basis, it’d be a no go for me.

Fully on board until I got to the interior...

I’d much rather have the unmolested M45 it was based on, which is a handsome and rather unique car all on its own. This thing? Not so much.

Probably Saltburn. But only because, unlike Saltburn, I don’t think at all about Gran Turismo. Ever. Even when I was watching it I didn’t think about it lol. But now Saltburn is stuck with me. Like Requiem for a Dream or Mulholland Drive or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Yes. It gave me all those feelings, and I still don’t know quite how I feel about any of it... 

Lol. That’s pretty fun. 

I watched it.

Yeah, I’ve never had a gate-checked bag get lost. The baggage checked at the gate is usually very important (strollers, wheelchairs, and other similar mobility items) and so I find it a pretty fool proof method.

Lol. That is not a surprise... 

So insane. I wish I had a Scrooge McDuck pile of cash.

The situation sucks all around. Everyone bringing on their carry-ons sucks because there isn’t enough room and having bags down by your feet is the worst. Boarding and de-boarding takes significantly longer, and I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve had some idiot smash me with their carry on.
