And here I am unable to find a place willing to help me with an old tailgate.

This also adds in (by default basically) crossovers being FWD/AWD and SUVs (the traditional definition) being 4WD.

I abandoned this quest at the major choice junction. The only solution I wanted was to paint the walls with the Paradiso execs and that’s not an option. Sure the captain of the Constant is entitled and annoying but it’s nothing compared to telling me I have to pay for a grav drive simply because I chose to be nice.

Some of these look really good but we are super limited on weapons. The Roci needs...what...a dozen auto-tracking ballistic turrets?

Interesting.  I was not issued any refund.

The perk to the leaf is the shielded cargo area. But yeah, the star eagle is a FAR superior ship when it comes to murdering everything in the sky.

I picked up the Star Eagle by level 14. Not saying it was easy (lvl 34 boss...ish dude) but when it comes to overpowered ships early on, it leaves the razorleaf in the dust.  The razorleaf quest is shorter but the baddies are still into the high 20s I think.

Insurance companies are screwing their customers across the country. Fixed that title for you. They had record profits during covid and have even said they were raising rates to keep those profits going. I dumped my last car insurance company because they nearly doubled my rate citing inflation. No accidents or…

I suppose I should be more specific: I want a competitor vehicle from a company that I would feel comfortable doing business with. Most manufacturers would be ok. I’d prefer Japanese or South Korean for the warranty and reliability but I like VW’s new all electric bus too.  Stellantis is a flat no-go.  The final nail…

Holy hell...the red flags...and the entire car is a literal red flag. The 84 was hardly a good year for the corvette. The first year of the (opinion here, but a popular one) worst bodies ever fitted to the namesake. The motors were fairly anemic because: 80s. It has that 4+3 auto manual transmission that was…

It is the I3 so it might be that and that it has one of the smallest batteries fitted to a full electric.  I should have looked up how big the battery was in the prius.  9.5 hours still seems really long for a 40 mile battery.  

Toyota is F’ing awful for this. They do not accept orders at all. The only thing people can do is put in a request at the dealership of their choice and hope. Source: Me, waiting on my Sienna, month 19. If there was ANY viable alternative to the hybrid Toyota van...

It takes 9 and a half hours to charge for 39 miles?  My bmw can charge from flat to full in that time...from a standard wall outlet...at the slightly reduced charging rate so it doesn’t overload the outlet.  Granted that is only 90 miles of range but that’s quite the difference.

Not nearly as exciting as some of these stories but I bought a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI just after the whole dieselgate thing was announced. Drove it 20k miles or so getting well over 40mpg and then sold it back to VW under the forced buyback for 10k more then I paid for it. If it has been the manual and not the…

Strange.  It looks to be attached to the passenger seat and therefore moves forward and back with it?  Seems like it could cover up part of that low console if all the way forward.  That being said, i really like the way it looks.

The infotainment system was obsolete before you bought it brand new...but the car part of it will still work fine.  My bmw is almost 9 years old and still holds 99% of it’s new rated charge.  It is driven daily.  Just don’t buy any of the early nissans that didnt have climate control for the battery.

This.  Also, my car is considered a full EV according the EPA and all that...except for it’s emergency generator, which allows me to do road trips with only gas stops if I need to.  I could see this being somewhat inconvenient for my (granted, super isolated) situation.

So 200 gets you a dual sense with a screen. It isn’t unreasonable but I drag my steam deck everywhere...including many places without reliable wifi and my phone only has so much hotspot before it is throttled down to sub-dial up speeds.

When my note 20 ultra finally decides to die, can I just use it’s pen with the newer models?  I don’t use it enough to justify the case but as a shutter remote for the camera, it is super handy for family pictures and such.

My original 2600 runs on a modern tv with a $3 adapter from amazon.  Pretty sure it will survive the apocalypse.
