Yeah, but unlike the H3, the vehicles you list are all good for something. I see people using these as actual trucks every day. An H3 is, on the other hand, useless for anything other than impressing the Joneses.

Holy crap! Is that my beige Veyron that I posted a couple years back? Did someone actually have one painted that color?

I'm going with the mid-00's Dodge minivan. Around here, lots of them are beat to hell, the liftgates covered with (rust and) political/religious stickers that are guaranteed to piss off 70% or so of Americans, have bald tires, are filled to the brim with crap (and snotty-nosed homeschooled kids), and are going 10 mph…

We had an '02 Forrester, and drove it to the Cape one summer, just outside (or just inside) of Provincetown, MA. I'm sure after thinking about it, it looked a bit odd to see a straight family riding in it - with the man driving.

That's only because there are no other SUVs in the H3's class. Nowhere will you find another one that is so oversized on the outside, yet smaller than a Toyota Yaris on the inside. And 18 MPG highway means it gets closer to 10 in town. Driving a beast like this and complaining that gas is too expensive makes you an…

I wonder if you can laser-cut your own stencils and sell them on eBay. Surely this would fall under the heading of "aftermarket generic parts" and wouldn't get one sued.

If they're replacing a DW, the holes have already been drilled, but I see your point. And I've also found Consumer Reports to be somewhat less than helpful in finding one that won't break down just out of warranty. We've had a CR Best Buy rated LG washing machine konk out on us TWO WEEKS after the warranty expired.…

Neither does mine. It has black paint, a good amount of which has worn off, with the lettering painted on top of that. It looks like a camp stove at this point, but it still works.

Alternately, we could just buy the cheapest useable model of everything. Refuse to pay extra for stainless-steel dishwasher tubs, or extra functionality, or fancy displays, or anything. That's what I'm doing when my current dishwasher breaks (like the three before it in as many years). Cheap $300 Westinghouse POS…

I suffered through a season of "Minor A" ball with my son back in the day. The rules are kind of ridiculous, to say the least. What's wrong with taking the one kid you've got who can actually keep the ball from hitting the backstop no matter how wildly it's thrown and making him a decent catcher, instead of giving…

That's using the old Force, Luke!

And Shoney's of Florida, you do know that there are a great number of Floridians who hail from the colder parts of the country. You are aware of the existence of Chicago and Boston, right? Know your customers, and they will reward you.

The trick is getting your boss to rethink the 8 hour workday. You usually have no say in the matter.

Yes, but the important thing is how fast it will go around the Top Gear track, and for that you need their tame racing driver. They say...

It's illegal to sell homebrew everywhere without a license, and you're not going to do that just so you can sell what you make five gallons at a time. The money gets made not spending $20 for a 12-pack of beer that's not quite as good as that which you made yourself. Plus, bringing some with you makes you popular at…

I heard the Phoenix Coyotes share an arena with the Suns. There was even a time-lapse video of a crew switching the place over from basketball to hockey in just under an hour. I hate warm-weather hockey teams with the passion of a thousand supernovae, but this actually makes sense.

I think you should let your British flag fly. "ou" instead of "o", "s" instead of "z", "boot" instead of "trunk", the whole bit. John Oliver does it, so should you.

Well, I have a hard time believing Hyundai is iconic of anything. Up until recently, there has always been something just a little bit strange and not quite right about their styling, and this Mazda kinda reminds me of that. This is the Elantra hatch I was talking about:

You can do sleek and "euro" without making the car look like an egg. I've actually been to Europe; Europeans would look at this thing and say, "was ist das?" This just screams "General Motors captive import," like the crappy Pontiac version of whatever Toyota is building. They might as well had just slapped a…

You mean brainwash yourself into believing that the exercise is not only good for you, but that you actually enjoy it. Sorry, no sale. I can't see how I could possibly release my inner gerbil and actually get into running on the little wheel in my cage. If having an iPod playing in my ear is enough to make the time…
