Doesn’t everyone have some form of this as they age? Hell I’m only middle aged-ish...and because of my job, I can certainly tell that I’m not as quick as I was in my prime.

I see. I misunderstood. This is something that will randomly happen sometime while you own the phone. I can see how that could be frustrating.

Is this really a question? Cheap American muscle. A mustang.

I wish more people realized this. Basic math can dictate how much of an asshole (or not) someone is. Holding up five cars behind to let one in...Well, you inconvenienced five people and helped one. That’s a 4 on the asshole rating. Not a super difficult concept.

So EVERY iphone you’ve had needed a new battery in days? ...aaand you keep buying them? I find the first claim unlikely and second to be...well....insane.  If I buy something that doesn’t work, I’m certainly not buying a second one.

Has he talked to HBO?  They let Mahar and Oliver say and do almost anything they want, including bashing their own station.

Ok I’m pretty sure you completely missed the forest for the trees. Dealerships are predatory and designed to be evil. This is....bad.

We’d get the Honda if they offered a hybrid. The only direct competition for the Sienna is the Pacifica and we have had too many issues with our last FCA/Stellantis product.  A half a dozen critical recalls and a total computer failure, along with a number of quality control issues.  2018 Ram 2500.  Glad yours has…

I’m not defending or advocating for direct sales either. Dealerships are awful because it is the worst purchasing situation most people will ever be in. There is no advocate for the customer.

This.  I wanted skyrim in space and I got Fallout in space....except Fallout is better.  Once the shipbuilding coolness and faction stuff ran out, spacerim..err fallfield...whatever sort of falls flat.  I have high hopes for updates that maybe include more varied planet stuff and deeper dives into the interiors.  I…

Ahh, I thought from your sentence, that you were referencing Toyota corollas, minivans, and stripped out work trucks. Not Toyota corollas. Also minivans and work trucks from all vendors.

Perhaps defending stealerships is a bad hill to die on...

Joke’s on you! I’ve been waiting for almost 2 years for a Toyota minivan. Can’t get those if you want to.

Back in 2002 or so, I bought a 2000 S-10 Blazer 4 door. My previous experience with the S-10 line had been a 90 Blazer and a GMC Syclone. I was hoping for a fairly rigid chassis, stiff suspension, and some offroad chops. What I got was a wallowly pig that didn’t like to go, stop, or turn. It was comfortable to drive,…

Reinforces my belief that stickers on a car means the owner is stupid. I don’t discriminate btw, all stickers. They lower the vehicle’s value as well.

Can I get the Pinzgauer behind the unimog...for like 1/3 the price. Mogs are cool and all but kinda big.  A 6x6 pinzgauer has the outer dimensions of an S-10 pickup.  Goes anywhere, does anything you need, hauls more then a super duty, and fits easily in almost any driveway.

They had newer models listed. Mine is a 2015 and it was under 20k. Obviously depends on what you can find and what options. Again, they are kinda ugly and overly complicated but so far, it has been a great commuter.

Certainly not arguing on the badge cost, but for under 20k, the I3 has a lot of hidden utility (if you get the right options and can get over the looks). I love mine and routinely do 300+ mi road trips, but that’s only an option with the little generator.  Without that, I would have gotten a leaf or something similar.

The I3 can be had with the range extender generator. A few software tweaks and it makes a very capable hybrid with 90 miles or so of all electric range for even the earlier models. As long as I keep it below 60, I can get almost 200 miles out of my 2015 before I need to put gas in it, and that’s leaving some battery…

There was a dude on the army base in Hawaii that ran 4 donuts on his Altima because he liked the look. Granted the highest speed limit is 60 anywhere on the island but the roads are grooved concrete to channel water and not the softer asphalt. They tear up normal tires.
