Something that always struck me is the sheer number of people who don’t seem to put any effort at all into sheltering their vehicle during a storm. Like, sure, even if you see a car as JUST an appliance, it’s still a fucking car, which is fucking expensive. I realize some people just want an insurance payout so they…

How big is your screen?

Oppos: “MAKE MORE CARS! WE DON’T NEED THESE GIANT SUVs!”

I never valet my lowly BRZ, but if someone does have to drive it that I don't trust, I have a "valet mode" map that limits the throttle to 50%, and drops the redline progressively lower by 500 RPM as you move through the gears.

Rather than continue to circle while figuring out a solution, the pilots made the risky decision to land the plane.

Pressure doesn’t really affect solid objects like that. Also not every part of the sub would have been inside of the pressure vessel, and therefore wouldn’t have been subjected to the sudden pressure change and resulting collapse of the world. A lot of the operational stuff would sit outside of the pressure hull, and…

The fuck is the point of the truck, then? I could hook a trailer up to my Subaru BRZ and haul 8-foot lumber around all day long.

We own a 4500 SQ FT home with two garages: a heated 2-car garage, and a larger, heated 4-car garage that can technically fit 6 vehicles side by side if you try hard enough. Point being it’s a BIG house with a lot of garage space.

I have a 2008 Ford Ranger Supercab with a 6 foot bed, and it barely fits into our 4 car…

I’ll need to read into these things, but if they power direct from the batteries to clean up current flow, and act as a whole-home surge protector, that would almost be worth it by itself.

Why take a Jeep rock crawling when you could go bouldering with your hands and feet and a harness? Why build an amphibious car when you could just tow a jet ski?

Some people just enjoy doing fun and different things with their vehicles.

This is like the tech equivalent of one of those anti-EV boomer comments under an EV article. WTF is your end game here in being so decidedly biased in your opinions?

I suspect a lot of the negative comments (mainly revolving around the price) are from people who haven’t actually tried any current-generation VR headsets. Sure, this looks obscenely expensive compared to a Quest 2 that only costs a few hundred dollars, but these aren’t even close to being on the same plane of…

Or... they’re just doing the same thing EVERY company does in a highly competitive space with few product offerings, which is try and upstage their opponents every chance they get. I don’t see anything wrong with this approach.

That is... not at all the point of overlanding, lmao. Of all the valid criticisms to levy against wannabe overlanders, this is the dumbest.

This is like going to see a movie, and getting pissed that they didn’t show you all the other movies you didn’t buy a ticket for.

Everyone: *rumors*

I swear every time one of these lists come out there are directly conflicting slides. Here we have MULTIPLE slides about how big, ridiculous trucks need to go, but then we have a slide saying the Ridgeline needs to go, even though it is arguably the MOST REASONABLE truck for most people who want a truck.

I want a Tacoma the size of a 2000 Tacoma, lol. Which I guess in this market would be a super-ultra-tiny-subcompact truck. *le sigh*

It looks... huge :(
