Same. Low six household, only debt is our mortgage. I can't afford a new car. It would just feel irresponsible to spend more than high $30k or so for transportation

Yup. And I think once the initial real purchases are made, whatever that number ends up being, that's pretty much the end of the run. This is a niche product, not a mass market one. I don't know anyone who isn't a fanboi that's gonna want one of these hideous things, especially once the early reviews are out. People…

I love the ride. Maybe I’m a masochist. Or I just grew up in CJ's and everything is relative.

I bought my 2012 2-door, 6spd CPO Wrangler with 60k on the odo back in 2016 for $18k. When I got the Pentastar tick and replaced the rockers, then my oil cooler sensor went, I starated looking at the JL’s. A similarly equipped four year old Wrangler is now in the low to mid 30's. Yikes. I’m going to nurse this one…

Solar is just so cheap I think we will soon see most third-world countries meeting all their climate goals. The only reason we aren’t progressing even more than we already are is the gas and oil lobby and those in government still making massive amounts of money off fossil fuels.

Yup. Agree 100%. Things are going to shift more quickly than people realize and there’s enough incentive money being placed in the marketplace that the system will adapt as people adopt EV’s. There will be lots of money to be made from those who have forward-thinking business ideas. Yes, the charging infrastructure…

I see what you did there.

I saw it opening week as well, and it hit me like a pile of bricks. It was the kind of experience I hope for when I step foot in a theater. Was totally puzzled by the public reaction, but I guess anything mainstream that takes a turn in another direction can expect that kind of result. It has been interesting to see…

I loved the prior GC model design. The new one just looks...off. something about the back part of the roofline. The Wagoneer? Hideous.

Indeed. See also: Fallon, Jimmy

I’m going to frame this response because it applies to just about everything in this country. Amen.

So many things that don’t make sense in this world come down to some kind of subsidy, don’t they?

Growing up, we lived miles out of town on a mile-long dirt road and needed our CJ’s to get out in the spring (mud season) or during storms. Decades later, married with a newborn and living on Long Island, I had two cars. All it took was one nor’easter where I lost power and the temps started to plummet and I thought,…

Have you seen the price of “pure” fuel for small engines? This is even more refined. My guess is this will be FAR north of $5 a gallon. Thanks to subsidies, we have been trained in the US to think gasoline is cheap. I bet this comes in closer to $15 a gallon when all is said and done. If we want to have fun on the…

Thank you for the shoutout to the shittiness of YTM. I’m still pissed about GPM closing down. Was a subscriber since the beginning. I didn’t care they never updated the UI. It just worked, and it was SO easy to find new, awesome music. YTM is a MESS, and the sound quality SUCKS.

Seriously. I’m so effing pissed off at Google systematically killing EVERY SINGLE APP that I’ve found valuable over the years, and replacing it with BORKED alternatives. Really, I’m an anti-Apple person, but I’m almost at the point where I’m just ready to say eff  you, Google. I’m tired of your shit. So tired. 

Ha! I just said the same before I saw this comment. I’m not really a fan of adult animated shows,  but Lower Decks is fantastic and has more heart than any other new Trek.

I'm surprised to be saying this, but I think Lower Decks has more soul than any of the other new Trek series'.

I was shocked that he actually opened the door for Warren to explain why she’s a capitalist and to separate herself from Bernie in that regard. 

God that Honda is ugly. What is it with Honda and Toyota recently? It’s like they can’t let one horizontal line that stretches the entire length of the vehicle go - “you gotta break that up some, brah...” Come on, people. Just because it has a straight line or two doesn’t necessarily mean it’s boring.
