Nice Larry! I just read that "there's" is acceptable for there is and there are in American English. Still seems weird to me, not gonna lie, but otheres on the internet have made this point as well.

I always wear multiple sweaters, and they always encircle my neck!

I'm glad to hear you're not sure, now I feel less alone. And I'm not saying it's incorrect to use "There's" as I am not sure. I believe it is correct to use "There're" but how often do you see that in written english? Never, you see it never times. So "there's + plural" is structurally wrong, I think, but does that…

Yeah, I think "there're" is technically correct, it is just not used in written english, though it is used in spoken english all the time. So I'm pretty sure there're is correct, but I'm not sure if "there's" in this instance is actually incorrect, as it's used that way so consistently. In language, at some point, if…

"There's 16 lights on this thing."

I'm not informed enough to make claims, but I remember hearing that the way they measure mpg is not the same as ours, and thus the same car would have a higher rating there. Not certain about that. Happy holidays, man.

Thanksgiving Morning Shift, CVCC edition! Yup, I'm merging two weak concepts, like most fusion foods out there.

It gets 61mpg and costs ten grand? It wouldn't need to have any interior comforts at all to sell well in the US at that price. I'm assuming it must be an issue of not meeting safety regulations, right? Right? I'd think they'd sell enough of these to overcome cannibalizing Versa sales, as they'd sell tons of them.

It's "A PART." Punctuation goes inside of the quotation marks, Captain Judgment!

One of my friends had an older Avalon, I don't know which year, but it had decent pep, like 275 hp. It was cushy around the city, but hit a bump at speed and that car would bounce disconcertingly down the road. Sure, these are probably suspension issues that can be addressed, but still, we've both had some…

Not gonna lie, I laughed.

It's funny, isn't it? Sleeping babies and elderly folks with creaky bones aren't really looking for a sport tuned suspension; the very opposite, actually. The Camry has succeeded for a reason, and it's not "because people are dumb GAHHH" like everyone on the internet would have you believe.

That's fair. I wish other people thought this way.

And again, here you are, breaking Internet Commentary Rule #1: NO REGRET, NO REMORSE. You continue to impress.

Eggwich McSpencer, IMPORTANT AUTOMOTIVE PUNDIT! Okay, maybe that's Clarkson-level hyperbole there, but still, it feels nice to have Rides quote my earnest take on car culture. It comes down to Do What You Love, and if you want to pander to the youth demographic throw in some kind of reference to haterz. Cars, hobbies,…

I write a message, you write a response, we disagree somewhat, in some ways we agree, and in the end we understand each other. No fights, no "cool story bro" condescension. This shouldn't be that rare of an occurrence on the internet that I have to celebrate it, but here I am celebrating it.

I hear you. But...

YES. 813 just wrote a defense of Donks in 150 words or so, and of course, I completely agree. Whoever built this is very skilled, and is a car guy. Whoever ordered this, loves cars, maybe not in the same way as you or me, but still, they love cars, and they are a car guy. You are not better than them, you are just…

Wow, that is crazy. But just FYI, this ended up as a reply to my message, so Spinelli won't see it unless you contact him again directly.

Thanks Mike!
