I in no way want this, but oh, I *do not* hate it.

Still kind of silly to describe this as “over two decades in the making” when it’s basically “he’s thought about doing this for two decades and actually started doing stuff a little over a year ago”

V6 Bronco stick shift is definitely news to me. How many did they make, 7? Must be super rare.

I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact Ford offers a manual transmission on 4-cylinder and V6 Broncos.

Great, now just build the manual Wrangler I ordered back in January.

And now I wish I hadn’t!

I think the “over 2 decades” bit refers to this -

When these were new I was on an Accord Coupe budget, but vowed to trade up someday. Too bad Acura stopped making such tasteful, perfectly-sized, timelessly elegant cars.

Arguably one of the most beautifully proportioned FWD cars ever. The unusual (for a FWD car) longitudinal mounting of the 3.2L V6 allowed for a design with typical RWD proportions (longish distance from the center of the front wheels to the front doors, etc.).

Tyson made it his mission to restore this car to the best of his ability, and now, over a year later, he’s done with it

This! My city just clearcut a huge section of forest to build more apartments. Meanwhile, the old K Mart and associated strip mall/parking lot right next to the college has been empty for nearly a decade. That is prime real estate, and yet it remains stagnant!

I don’t understand the connection. My dad became disabled.  He didn’t drive a car after that.

An apartment complex in Charlotte, NC without parking seems foolish. Full stop.

I just don’t go downtown unless I absolutely have to for some reason. Which is very, very rare.

So, in an article trying to convince us that there is way too much city parking available, you use a photo depicting a lot so overfull that people are forced to double park anywhere they can find enough room to put a car?

Agreed. Also, umm...where are they going to park? On the (public) street? If so, then taxpayers are subsidizing the parking. Somebody always pays.

Wife and I were going to go have dinner on Grand Ave in St Paul. Relatively dense old urban area. Lot was full, street was full, urban area that surrounded it was all parking restricted to residents only. Went to the mall and the first ring suburb and had dinner there.

In Charlotte, the city council recently allowed one developer to build an apartment complex that doesn’t have any parking at all. That means more units for people to live in and lower construction costs, which the developer says should save residents $250 per month.

The entire country is going off the rails in order to make shareholders happy, why should this be any different?

Yep. They’ll just run more, shorter trains and charge way more to keep their margins up all while not addressing any other issues.
