I just posted this but, had I not been late to the article, I would have said that I was in support of the 5GT. It doesn’t look that weird in real life (or maybe we’ve grown used to it’s proportions?) and is much more sensible than a sedan or a X5. 

I didn’t list it because it was early and I forgot, but I did really like the Bangle era 7 series. I also searched out a F11 5-series GT like you posted, but couldn’t find one near me that wasn’t a 550 so I went with a sedan.

It looks shockingly well preserved, at least the outside. Inside might be a rats nest, but can’t be as bad as what David is dealing with right now. I’m not in California so the registration and smog thing doesn’t matter.

Oh yeah, I don’t disagree. But in my city (and most east coast cities), there’s not even lots or garages you can get into - they’re either full or non-existent. 

Parking is the hill you want to die on? I don’t think I’ve ever been to an American city and though “Geez, there’s so many available and affordable parking spots...”. 

I’m confused why these exist other than just dedicated turn lanes, especially for the road which has a median. 

They’re doing these all over in PA now. It’s not really confusing if you don’t think too hard (which is what most people do), unlike a traffic circle where you actually need to pay attention. 

Which makes sense since I’m in Philly 😜

That was my thought too. This is the beginning of the end for the current iteration of the royal family; while some (most?) might celebrate that, we’ll see soon what and how much they were holding together. 

Everybody is so grumpy on a Friday.

I swear that one of my favorite ice breaker questions when I’m with new people in a group setting is: when you eat kiwis, do you eat the fur?

My favorite image of all time:

Adam, why do you hate this person so much? A FOCUS?! A 2012 Focus. With the transmission from hell. Come on.

I’m about a month after my second Moderna. My arm still feels...something. My strength and endurance is still suffering. Still worth it though. 

I was bored a few months ago and just rewatched the whole series in about a week’s time. It holds up WAY better when you can watch the character develop in essential real time, vs waiting 8 years and forgetting the foreshadowing. This is often why books feel more “complete” than a show. 

The part that lifts: the door.

We’re now in a world where wiring harnesses are falling apart after less than a decade; while that Volvo (cool choice!) will probably last forever, a 2015 Volvo very well may not.

Based on what I see with a lot of vehicles today, years in existence create more wear and points of failure than actual miles, thanks to things like the ample use of plastic and wiring harnesses made of acorn flavored wrappings.

A motherfuckin’ Ford Ranger!

Wow, your house in beautiful. Is that a real candle chandelier?!
