Actually, car ownership is more indicative of lower income status in many cases. Dense city residents can afford to be shuttled in uber, have everything delivered and occasionally hop on public transit. Then you have commuters who are taking public transport to work but it doesn’t take them places elsewhere. And…

Grid is not always the best concept anyway, there benefits of some entropy in street design if done correctly (mostly never).
Most who have any interest in city design probably already played with Cities:Skylines and tried different approaches. One can come up with beautifully functional city without use of…

What’s the point of payload if I cannot fit it?
I never owned a truck, I just relied on trailer for bigger cargo, hence why asking.

My experience with technology and established carmakers is that they are horrible at keeping it up to date. If you beg dealer for update, you may get it. Even when OTA is available, they just have no incentive.
That’s why people prefer phone mirroring because you have control of it (somewhat).
Additionally, car…

That is really small bed, what can I really fit in it?

I currently have hatchback and it does meet the needs when I attach trailer to it. But often I wish I just had a big bed to put stuff in. I do need bigger vehicle so if it offers interior space of bigger CUV / small SUV then I am VERY interesterd

I don’t see it much different from typical tax code loopholes. Few exploit it while most can only dream of it. We should give pat Ford on the back, but right solution would be to close the loophole.

I don’t think it is directly related to less cars on road.
Actually, since public transport was not as popular due to social distancing, more people got behind the wheel. Car sales (both new and especially used) show that. A lot of people were infamous Sunday drivers and now driving more and of course without proper…

Why people assume he is yelling because of work?
Maybe his girlfriend run off with his best buddy or doge coin took massive hit.

Also, he is probably not Amazon driver, but driver for Amazon. Then we have to highlight evils of contracting and gig-economy and not big corporate that gladly (ab)use it.

Now I am intrigued. I was looking at Ranger, but it is a dated truck when released in USA. Japanese release some nice trucks and VW may bring theirs over. I want something that is an SUV but with bed (or ute)

It is just a cost of doing business and I don’t understand why it is not integrated into price. Not like you can just go to factory and pick up the car.

Many industries do it, especially on cellphone bills and (till not so long ago) airline tickets). Fees, fees, taxes. Just give me a damn final price

Well, alternatively, we could have Vulcans and Starfleet, but for many it would be “too realistic”

I still associate Buick with old people and brand held me back more than once. I was looking at rebranded Opel (since I loved it in EU), but as Buick with 10 speed shitbox, it lost its appeal.
I really liked Holden Pontiacs, that brand had potential

If you are successful businessman, you will want to minimize risks.
If you don’t look like stereotypical drug mule, then you are better mule. Pregnant, child, nun, families, LEO, they are perfect.
Considering the risk involved and payouts available, it is a pretty good gig.
Especially if you are not doing that well.

I…

True, but hazard light will indicate something is wrong with Corolla and watch for unexpected behavior (just as driver is rushing to hospital).
Trust me, ambulance service is not as fast as you believe.

Hazard lights, as name suggests, are to indicate hazard. They are not to improve your visibility. For that your taillights will do what they are designed to do.
Hazard lights / flashers should indicate something is wrong, ie moving at slow speed (in some places it is mandated to put them on if going under certain…

Why people struggle with following reasonable rules and law?
Flight attendants, similarly to bus drivers are protected as they are responsible for entire people carrier and are not there to accommodate individual whims.
Rules are simple, obey F/A (or bus driver) commands. If don’t want to, then don’t get on board. You…

Tolls were great to pay for bridge or stretch of road without excessive bonds or public funds. However, early on, government quickly noticed that even when project is paid off, they have nice income and tolls never went away (as they should). In many jurisdictions, it is even more stupid as funds from tolls are…

They still have to locate owners, mail bills, and collect. It adds cost to transponder automated billing.

I can clearly see that marketing was heavily involved here. Lots of fancy words to highlight exclusivity (and not much content) and almost no engineering information. Clearly it is aimed at people that cannot be bothered with terrestrial world.
Either way, it is some great craftsmanship and engineering to satisfy…
