We bought a 2024 CR-V Sport Touring (top-of-the-line hybrid) last month. In stock, in the color we wanted, $500 off sticker and a decent trade.

I bought my first-ever new car when I was 51, so it’s the first time one of my car purchases made it into the stats.  It’s a 2018 GTI with a stick.  I hope to drive it the rest of my life.

I wouldn’t count on these fuckers knowing a single line of actual law, or what is and isn’t possible.

I have boxes of parts for my 1990 Honda VFR750. If I see some for sale cheap and local, I buy them. Maybe I’ll never need them.  Maybe I’ll help out a fellow VFR owner, maybe someday I’ll need to replace something on one of the most reliable motorcycles ever built, and maybe it’ll be in one of my boxes!  

I used to fly for work about once a month, but I always chose the best schedules without regard to airline loyalty, so my FF points weren’t impressive. My wife was the same way. We should have had points cards back then.

I wonder what that drivetrain would swap into nicely.  Corvair?  70 Malibu station wagon?  

As a new owner of a 2024 Honda CR-V hybrid, I’m trying to figure out exactly what the “transmission” in that car is. Apparently it _acts like_ an eCVT, but it’s not, because the engine is never directly providing motive force, it only charges the battery and drives the electric motors.

It has glue.  There might be some horse in that.

Apologies to Ohioans, if this is the sort of thing you like, then this is just the thing for you. As for me, HELL NO!  I certainly don’t want to burn my mouth on my pizza, but I can wait a few minutes to eat it.

The Impala driver should “have a Coke and a smile” when he gets out of the hospital.

But it’s never the Governor’s mansion...  Fingers crossed for next time.

When I saw the headline, I thought “Sable wagons are great, but if it’s not a full SHO swap, it’s ND.”  Then I saw the car.  OH FUCK NO!!!

I wouldn’t take it if they gave me $5K!

Elements are very interesting, with lots of neat features. Both of my kids have owned them, but I was not impressed at all with the driving experience, or the fuel economy.

Just starting it now. Googled to see just how many movie and TV versions there have been, and got this:

These things are already happening. Car mfg offers optional safety equipment, I didn’t buy it, I got hurt (or other owner of car mfg car hurt me), safety equip should have been standard, I’m suing.

Came here for this, left satisfied.  I’d like to see how much the sales dropped when they downsized it after the first gen.

I know every piece of software I use is vacuuming up every bit of my data it can, and selling it for purposes I can’t fully imagine. I know Google is probably the worst. My employer has blocked Google Chrome from our work computers, and I know I shouldn’t use it at home either, but I haven’t made the switch. However,…

Responding to an old comment on an old story, but I used to make a baked chicken breast with apricot jam, curry powder and cayenne.  I bet the apricot/curry/cayenne would be fantastic on a PBJ!

I’m not sure I knew this show was out there. If I did, maybe I conflated it with the more recent awful movie. I loved the books and the first movie, so you’ve sold me! I’ll start it tonight!
