Trucks are better for tall things and wide things, like furniture and appliances. Am I the only one continually moving furniture and appliances? Maybe. 

Unfortunately, I think not:

I always thought it was odd that *Ford* was the one to discard the seats, instead of leaving it up to individual dealers. Once the van was in the dealer’s hands, was no longer the company’s decision what happened to it (basically) and *winkwink* it’s now a cargo van.

Correct depending on the manufacturer- it’s often a regional thing. See also: why you can get some options in some places but not others 🤷🏻‍♂️

This exactly. Tacking on a destination as a line item feels shitty to the consumer and also is super unfair because it’s regional. Just average it out across the MSRP and be done with it.

I used to live near where the OP lives. While technically yes, you can do backroads in a Camry...you don’t want to. One time I was on a numbered “highway” through the mountains that was basically a pile of rocks and barely made it through with a Forester; some guy coming the other way was in like a 1980s Olds…

Similar story, I had a ‘02 F150 work truck that (surprise) needed ball joints and didn’t pass inspection. I wasn’t using it that much at the time so I figured I’d sell it. Finally, after months, a guy who had just started as a landscaper bought it for $1,000.

I’d smell insurance fraud if this wasn’t so comically, poorly done. 

Because in a torrential downpour you’re not just driving along, you’re going 40mph on the highway trying to keep sight of the car in front of you hoping to stay on the road because you can barely see the lines. Frequently those who care less about their lives will still try to go the speed limit in spite of the…

I don’t care that it’ll probably cost $20,000 a year to run. I want it and I can afford it now. Shut up and take my money.gif

Maybe I need to break out a tape measure, but the pizzas (at least in my region) all seem significantly smaller recently. Granted I only order maybe three times a year and I’m comparing this to 3-4 years ago, but they seem to be a solid ~1.5 inches in diameter smaller than several years ago, but still are the same…

I think people finally have realized that a $4 Wendy’s burger isn’t all that different than a $12 chain restaurant burger. Also that without being able to sit at a table for two hours eating unlimited breadsticks, Olive Garden (which was struggling pre-pandemic) really isn’t worth it.

Holy crap. I was pissed when the average large pizza price around me sauntered into the double digits (it’s now like $16). Pizza should always be at 1995 prices, dammit. 

Exactly this. Use flashers when you’re at the end of a line of cars in a torrential rain storm where it’s likely a car otherwise wouldn’t see you until they’re dangerously close.

Needs more stars. 

Hey man, I don’t want to aggressively disagree. But say you and your mate were happy being at home with each other.

I can honestly say as a PA resident, those of us with any sort of social conscious are considering leaving. Shit has gotten really, really bad since 2014 and it’s not turning around. While at a national level the state will almost always be blue (though I wasn’t surprised by PA swinging to trump in 16), locally…

My experience too. My mom wasn’t all that old by modern standards (she was 34 when she had me) but was by far the oldest of my friends’ parents growing up. She was fairly indifferent as a parent and is indifferent times a hundred as a grandmother. 

Nah, the tooth procedure makes no sense. I’ve had alllll the dental work - either it’s minor and silly and it’s just like “excuse me spitting on you because my left side is still numb” or you’re stoned on the couch trying not to breathe too hard lest it hurts. There’s a 0% chance (well, maybe like 2%) that he’d have a…
