In case you were wondering, the 2-dr Wrangler is the worst current vehicle for a cyclist. Spare tire carriers are limited by low weight limit, hitch racks block the tailgate from opening and getting them to fit in the interior leads one or both to incur scratches. Roof racks on softtops are a no go...

And for some…

Name your cat one thing, call it other names 90% of the time. I shoulda just named him buddy.

And every cat i’ve lived with has come when called.

Honestly, I don’t care. If the car salesman can’t handle a question like that, he or she might want to look into a different line of work.

There are many things I would like to see changed about this industry - over-sticker pricing is another (this should be quelled by the manufacturer, as it is not, it is an endorsed…

I am sick of the car buying experience. I want an “Add to Cart” function (no more than advertised price) on manufacturer websites to avoid any of the nonsense from dealers.

My last car I bought over the phone, made no compromises, ordered it and paid less than sticker. The first time I walked into the dealer was to…

Cool. So its not going to be a Renegade. And its going to be manual. 

I’d be satisfied with Ford not tying dates to upcoming releases. But yeah, it seems that the people excited for the Bronco expect a Jeep-killer that is lighter and cheaper - and with the JL at +$7K over the JK, they might be closer to being right. 

Why the left shoe? Why not both?

I’m all for optional helpers and nannies, but I do fear that such things often get mandated and don’t need to be (traction control, or the botched and rescinded 2014 rear-view camera mandate) because of lack of ability of the mass of the driving populace.

I will never have kids. I will…

Southern California is not for beer-lovers; it is a hellscape as you describe. I’ve never been to a region where I have to walk out of a bar without drinking a pint before. All IPAs? Really?

There are more to beers than IPA.

They can only be used to judge speed in pairs, you cannot determine speed with just one tube.

I know what is wrong. 6 speeds with both 6th and reverse fighting the gate spring. That’s fun.

You got talked into a garbage package when you bought your car on the lot, and it came with something you immediately didn’t recognize as a worthless POS car stereo, in-dash cluterfuck.

Shocker. My Basic RES stereo works fine. I bet no one could have predicted those troubles.

The whole car buying experience is designed to make the customer compromise. Chances are, you are paying higher than you intended on something you did not want to purchase. And in doing so, reinforcing this model.

They have a semi-functional TV over the other end of the bar now. It plays Turner Classic Movies now, no volume.

Rever doesnt even have Privacy Zones... just saying

Not a surprise. I’ve driven cars with lane-change alerts, and found them to have varying results. The 2017 Nissan Rogue, for instance, had poor response rate, and a poor location of the indicator (visible to occupants of the vehicle only). Traffic Lights with inductive loops are still being set up in this country,…

I have a passport and a driver’s license. I need a replacement Social Security card or birth certificate to get the next DHS-compliant driver’s license. So in preparation, I’ve been trying. Its not an easy process. I dont have any communication with my old family, so digging up information has been hard, particularly…

Yeah. I am SOOOO fucked with the new Homeland-approved driver’s license requirements.

My birth certificate is a photocopy of a statement that says that hospital records were destroyed in a fire. My parent lost my original SS card, and Ive been going through hell to try to get new documentation.

Backwards Compatibility is a selling point for me; I know it isn’t for most. Its not a nostalgia thing for me; there are many great games generated throughout the decades, to assume that only the greatest games exist on the newest consoles is silly. Having 5-6 consoles available at a time (and a small army of…

This whole recall has been a shit-show from day one. Federal regulators (spurred by Mark Rosekind, I’m sure) were urging people not to drive affected cars until they were fixed, yet some recalls took OVER a year from announcement to have parts. The manufacturer was understandably not able to meet production…

Amazon Marketplace has been a haven for counterfeit merchandise for years. just try to get a genuine Panasonic battery for a digital camera - oh sure, it seems legit that the silkscreening on it will be crooked and blurry.

Amazon needs to be held responsible to ensure these are legitimate issues more than the…
