It’s the same reason some folks say that football isn’t tough like it used to be and that modern athletes are pansies.

I feel like completely scrapping the whole program and starting from scratch might be the best way forward. Reevaluate everything except driver safety and then design around that- your car has to have a pod for the driver which will survive a Romain Grosjean-level crash with the driver unharmed. Other than that, we’re…

A predilection for wearing speedos at the pool is really all I can think of and honestly, we should be following their example instead of what passes for men’s swimwear in America, which is basically swimming cullotes.

I fought spending money on a new mower for years but damn, electric is 100% the way to go. Super quiet, lightweight and the best thing is that they are so easy to turn on/off. So you know how with a gas mower you kinda have to decide whether you really want to stop the engine because that means you are gonna have to…

Unless you have a super long driveway, just get a corded electric snowblower. They’re super simple, quiet and you don’t have to worry about spoiled gas, getting them started or anything like that. Plus, they’re generally pretty cheap. I use one in Wisconsin and it’s been great.

damnit. Beat me to it.

But they do actually cause increases in congestion, even Uber and Lyft will admit that. They have made traffic worse.

Outback owner here- I doubt I’ll buy another Outback because I don’t need the size anymore, but I love everything else about it so a nice crosstrek sounds good. Also, I have zero desire to wear a flat brim hat pulled down over my ears so I don’t really want a WRX version.

We have built a lot of bike infrastructure but the question is, how much of it is truly functional? Like, in my city we have an impressive array of dedicated bike paths and these are fantastic for getting from, say, my neighborhood to the farmer’s market downtown. BUT, we don’t have a lot of neighborhood focused bike…

I would be willing to bet the venn diagram of people who were able and willing to commute to work by bike and people who’s jobs have switched to work from home is pretty close to a circle.

I mean, editing can do amazing things.

We make SO MUCH stuff out of oil. Plastics. Roads. fabrics. Big oil will be fine.

He’s not senile. He’s just a man who has been able to say whatever crosses his mind for the last 50+ years with zero consequences. I’m sure he’s as sharp as he’s ever been. It’s debatable how sharp he ever was, but he’s still functioning at the same level as ever.

EVERYTHING is a side in the culture wars. Or rather, there’s absolutely nothing that attention-starved bullies won’t use as a pretext to start a fight. Wind turbines cause cancer. School kids don’t deserve free meals. The poor deserve it because they’re lazy. Drag queens are turning your kids gay.

I want this thing so much.

This is one where I think so many manufacturers need to look at the way honda did the Element.

How does it compare to an outback- gas mileage, are the rear seats comfortable for 100 miles or more, what’s the storage in the back with the seats down- how hard is it to get a bike in the back> how hard is it to get a dishwasher in the back? How does it handle a trip to IKEA where you and your girlfriend buy a new…

So, why isn’t gas mileage a thing one can be excited about? It’s no weirder than 0-60 times, and generally more useful on a long term purchase like a car.

So, you would have gone even slower,knowing that you would be responsible if you hit someone.

I can think of one simple change that will work on every vehicle.
