Plymouth XNR:

I absolutely loved this game growing up. Still have it, but my PS2 has been out of commission for years. It’s like a $20 fix, apparently, but I’ve never gotten around to it.

Seriously. Just because you think the F&I guy is a scumbag doesn’t mean you should relish the idea of the mechanic being on the street. 

I know they’re everywhere, but in my (admittedly anecdotal) experience it’s much less of a problem in other states.

The poor PR flack who sends out those emails is probably used to no one ever responding to them, let alone getting a whole article out of it. 

A $60k sports car is not out of the question for a middle class consumer in normal times. When the apocalypse happens, though, that goes out the window.

Absolutely - but in a different way. Practically the entire service industry has been shut down, for God’s sake. We’re screwed. 

That’s because our city isn’t run by morons.

Eh, probably because the rest of us are tired of hearing New Yorkers tell us how their city is the best in the world etc. It simply doesn’t square for anyone who 1) is not from New York and 2) has spent time in New York and other major cities.

This economic crisis we’re heading into is different than the last one. Cash for Clunkers made sense then, I don’t think it makes sense now. 

Agreed. Sunroofs are practically a must-have as far as I’m concerned.

Airlines are a strategically important industry. Their past sins are irrelevant - once we’re out of this nightmare (and we will be, at some point) a healthy airline industry will be crucial for the economy.

Yep. We’re really not all that bad. The problem is that there’s just so many of us.

I get your point, but how is that different than any other consumer product? I can get my Mac serviced with Apple, with a third party authorized provider, with a pirate unlicensed shop, or do it myself if I have the skills.

I always thought the design of this car was the real-world embodiment of the “Mediocrity” Subaru commercial.

I agree - I don’t understand the “social” component of Venmo. I’ve been using it for years—good luck getting through college nowadays without it—but it’s been on private mode since day one. Venmo can also be connected to your bank account, just FYI. 

It can cost $20 here in LA, depending on the theater. 

The only bad thing about our roads is the congestion. 

I’ve been seeing this van for years; never looked inside, though.
