The city gave them an inch and they took a yard (heh, literally). Seems fairly innocuous and likely is just a cog in the machine. 

Yep. And thanks to YouTube and TikTok, learning how to sear (or even better: reverse sear) a steal can be easily taught in less than a minute.

Bacterially resistant sewer monsters who feel no pain. Great.

Depends on the state. That’s not the case where I live (in PA); you have thirty days from date of purchase/registration to get it inspected. But they also don’t test for tint. 

Interesting questions this week. Both can be summed up with “yes…usually…”.

I’m all about the Maverick at its $20k base price and would even pay $30k for a fully loaded Hybrid - but because I care about a hybrid truck more so than a tiny truck. I don’t understand paying $50k for a Hyundai ever, but especially this Hyundai. 

I like this idea overall. However saying a car has 3.5 hours of drive time is even MORE alarming (IMO) than saying it has a 260 mile range. I’m sure there’s a reason automakers haven’t put this in their marketing. 

I’m just taking a guess here, but it’s probable that he was employed by some third-party Corp, either a completely unrelated entity or a corporation established by Gaga that likely also pays her other staff.

YES! That’s the issue here too. I don’t want a huge house, but the low added price (and ease of future selling) makes it not worth it to get a smaller place. Right now my house is 3000 sq ft and it’s just me and it’s way too big. But apparently we need to live in a land of giant houses that touch each other. 

100%. I have driven around Philly my whole life and I never even considered the possibility that a car could get into one of those tunnels. I guess at night, maybe, but it’s pretty clearly not for cars. 

Instead of delaying shipments of already-built cars, why not just deliver them and then ship a replacement top when available? Owner can choose to have it done at a dealer or have it shipped to their house, since these things are literally made to come off. Bring your old top back to the dealer for disposal or hold…

NGL, that would be me if the place I wanted to move (closer to family) had any inventory. But it doesn’t - like basically no houses at any price point, unless you want a $1M, 7000 sq ft mansion, which I don’t. 

The stats aren’t talking about absolute average cost to own; it’s average percentage of average income.

I luckily bought a house and a car in 2019, because holy cow today’s market is wild. The magical money and debt gravy train is going to hit a wall eventually. Average cars at $30k and houses at $300k when they should all be a third of that just feels unsustainable. 

What I’ve learned from the comments section is that people have very different definitions of what a “grill pan” is.

Who buys new safety seats every year?  Most are now convertible and last the ~12 years you need them. Still a cool idea for when you’re in a pinch though, like if an unexpected friend needs a ride. 

While most of the climate science results in a simple response of “holy shit”…hearing that southern Italy hit 120* is basically holy shit x 100.

Most of these comments are wrong. While strips are the preferred theoretical chip, they’re frequently broken and therefore useless.

NOBODY will ever be a great choice. Never will there be someone who is without controversy.

A 2012 Leaf near me with similar miles is selling for $8k. Is the extra ~60% worth it for leather and a fancy interior? And to not be seen in a Leaf? Maybe to some.
