Cooled seats is the single most important feature. I would take cooled seats before power windows or locks or power steering. If back-up cameras are mandatory, so should be cooled seats.

It’s really not fair to bring up price and not mention the reduced costs to run and maintain - which is pretty significant. Not to mention resale values which will be very good for a few year at least.

As an American who visited northern Italy last year, I agree. The driver were great, there roads were a bit chaotic, but I suppose that’s becasue they were laid out 1,000 years ago.

Yeah that system was strange to me too. I had the idea of being able to stop off at little towns etc that I saw on the side of the road, but quite often you can’t becasue there wasn’t an exit. Next time, I’m sticking mainly to non-toll side roads.

I didn’t have really any issue with the drivers when I did a very similar trip last year. They can be aggressive and they will definitely try to squeeze in where most Americans would not, but as long as you expect it, it’s fine. They’re actually very polite in letting you in and of course lane discipline is excellent.…

That’s nuts. I was stressed out driving a little Fiat Punto around the lake.

They probably like the Tundra story more becasue it was a better story with a single owner and he wasn’t out for publicity and advertising like TST.

Yeah it comes up on the podcast all the time.

For the lulz.

Matt has said that he hoped Toyota would do something with it and make a big deal, but they said that’s what it’s supposed to do and told him he was on his own. Last I heard, the plan is to fly it over on an Emirates flight to Dubai or Oman or something and just leave it there.

So oil is the only source of lipids?

Nope, that’s a common misconception.

Still an improvement, unhealthy, but still better for the environment.

Fine, just don’t say you give the first shit about the environment or bitch when CC affects you personally (it already is).

Any oil is unhealthy, olive, coconut, avocado, peanut etc.

FYI, when cooking red meat in particular, that char is literally causing cancer (usually colon cancer). And both the meat and butter are causing heart disease and set you up for a stroke and possibly diabetes as well. But don’t worry, with your attitude and egotism, I’m sure nobody will miss you when either you have a…

It definitely is black and white in terms of diet and ethics (okay, like 98% white and 2% black). Eating animal products is categorically bad for the environment. There might be a few cases here and there where where I would allow some leeway, but on the whole, it’s not even close.

Do you want a water crisis or climate change?

Right, we can’t control that. But we can control what we’re personally responsible for. Also with that, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
