Schools used to be built in neighborhoods that kids could walk to on sidewalks. Schools in my area are now being built in large open fields a mile away from the nearest neighborhood, with the only access being a 45-55 mph 2 lane road with no sidewalk. Oh, and the neighborhoods are developer planned communities that…

I seriously do not get parents today. Most of my friends with kids DO drive them to school every day. Despite there being a perfectly good bus that would pick them up right down the street.

Anecdotally, it seems like a lot of people are just fed up with Musk’s antics and now that there’s valid competition, they have no problem going somewhere else. Just saw a model S with the license plate “MSK SCKS” and I’ve seen a few other teslas around town with a ‘I bought it before Musk was a problem” type bumper st…

The entire world has turned into Karen - ferrying Jayden, Hayden, Kayden and Grayson to little league and sitting in the Starbucks drive through line that’s 50 suvs deep rather than walking inside where there’s no line at all.

“Stop poking me!”

I’m a big fan of the ones when you push it it goes “beep” and when you release it goes “boop” so you can hold the button in to delay the “boop”.

I press it multiple times so I can make the voice guy go “wait wait wait wait wait waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait”

Dunno. Our five-year-old loves repeatedly pushing it to hear the “walk” come out of the speaker over-and-over. Then you push it enough times and it suddenly screams “WAIT TO WALK.”

But feeding one poor kid a school lunch is socialism.

Then I will be owning used CARS for the remainder of my time on the planet.

Well, I for one think that the retched excess is freaking ridiculous, and I hope that the OEM you work for has a change of heart. For those of us past the pack all the shit and go on a trip with the kids age, a giant SUV, Jeep, pickup, etc., just makes absolutely no sense. I even coach soccer out of a Chevrolet Sonic,…

“Speaking personally, I’ve never loaded my family into the car for a road trip and felt like I wanted less space.”

Well, if the OEM puts all of its production and all of its marketing into the “largest” - and just coincidentally highest margin - vehicles then, yeah, that’s what’s going to happen.

The writing on the walls with sedans has been there for a while, but hard confirmation for me was the 10th gen Accord’s debut failing to stop the Accord’s sales decline. The contemporary XV70 Camry followed the same sales trend.

We have a family of Four.

I hate that you’re right, but yeah, I’m gonna second this.

Sedans. They might stick around in the luxury market a little bit longer, since luxury buyers tend to be older and behind the times, but I think we are looking at the last generation of three-box vehicles. This should make WRX wagon fans rejoice.

I thought the same thing about bloated pickups and SUVs that are fashionable these days, but I think the manufacturers have backed themselves into a corner. They spent decades promoting Rugged, Aggressive, Powerful, BIG trucks for ‘safety’ and STYLE! It’ll be hard to shift that momentum to, oh yeah guys lets go a bit…
