Nah I’ll concede that there are lots of uses for larger trucks. Lots of lanscapers for example around here have their crew in the cab and tow a good size trailer (either gooseneck or full size) with equipment, etc. Lots of use for full size HD trucks. There are a lot of posers for sure, but I realize there are tons…

First gear:

Dogs are a valid argument!

Ultra-low aspect ratio tires/huge rims on about everything nowadays. I call them “wagon wheels”:

You know that 12 hour road trip you wanted to take? Well, now it’s three days and two hotel stays. It’s gone from ~$75 in gas, to $400 in hotel stays! Sounds great!

And that would make the charging time quicker? I don’t want to fucking stop and charge, I want to charge and go. Same way as I gas and go. I’m not interested in kicking my heels and being suckered into paying for more services when I could be hitting the road. It is charging times, not charging places, that is the…

Mazda 3 hatchback (also available in sedan but go for the hatch please)

I used to say “when your monthly repairs average get close to a monthly car payment, It’s time to dump the car”. That was when you could trade in towards a new Altima and end up paying $300 a month for 36 months. Now that I’ve had my current car for almost seven years and I absolutely love the thing, and its analog no…

May be just the pictures, but the hood looks “off” - the detail line on the hood fades in and out and the reflections off it are blurry, like it had hail damage or something.

The overall tone of the ad, the wording makes me hesitate. On the face of it, seems like it should be a NP, but the seller comes across as a dickhead and $6200 is too much to put up with the hassle! So No Dice because I wouldn’t want to deal with this guy and his boy-racer modifications.

I’ve never understood the CH-R. It had the body that the Corolla cross should have had and not the platform. who wants a FWD pseudo crossover/hatch thingy with terrible visibility?

Here’s what you should do instead, in my humble opinion: instead of buying a fancy coffee for someone who can already afford a fancy coffee (they’re in the Starbucks drive-thru line for a reason, you know), tip the underpaid, overworked, frequently abused person actually making your coffee. Your generosity will go so…

And nobody but the worker you tipped will know. The next person gets to the window and is told their total and asked to pay, same as they would if there had never been a pay-it-foward thing.

The employees at Starbucks couldn’t give a shit whether you pay it forward or not. Want to test that? If someone in front of you pays for your drink during one of these pay it forward charades, put the price of your drink in the tip jar. Do you think they’ll dig it out and put it towards the next car? Hell no.

I would say “No thank you. Can you process what I owe as a tip for you on a card? If not, what’s the least expensive thing I can buy and tip you the amount of my original order?”

Just say: “I’m not paying for the guy behind me”. But tip the coffee team the cost of your drink. Or double, whatever, but you don’t have to continue this performative bullshit. Tip the people who need it (the understaffed, overworked, underpaid employees) and let the dude behind you pony up for his own order.

For fuxsake, “Pay it forward” at place where moderately affluent people order overpriced coffee from the comfort of their large SUV sounds comically pretentious and tone deaf, even during a time where virtue signalling for sport is common place.

This entire concept explains America, really

Former Bux partner here: I killed Pay-it-Forward chains whenever they’d happen. The reason being is because, like most drive-thru businesses, we had a “bump screen” or a screen to keep the orders organized. When a Pay-it-Forward chain would happen, that would be the god-send to keep the orders in order. HOWEVER, the…

THANK YOU.  Forced generosity or charity is neither.  Also, sorry, not sorry, I don’t want to be the guy who has the cheap and easy order having to pay for the family of 6 behind me - I don’t have to justify my reasons, but sometimes people just can’t afford it.
