But your average Joe has been convinced by the extremely wealthy that he’s better off living off the crumbs they drop than by making the extremely wealthy pay their fair share. Because after all, someday you might be extremely wealthy and wouldn’t you feel silly having supported higher taxes on the wealthy then?

But far less billionaires and multimillionaires. And that kinda says everything about who doesn’t want “socialism.”

See, the problem here is that everyone assumes that they’re the good guy with a gun. And unfortunately, all those good guys are tryhards who really REALLY want to show just how good a guy they are and so the second something happens, out comes the gun and... this.

Tesla is a meme stock. It’s cryptocurrency for folks who don’t want crypto. It’s Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton comparing Bored Ape NFTs.

Oh I get that, but with the Outback (and other previous subarus) it’s a lot bigger drop than in my FWD cars. 

Honestly, it’s the gas mileage penalty I have to pay with AWD in winter.

I have never understood the love for these things. Cadilac had several more attractive options, the Chrysler 300 was a lot easier to get and still looks surprisingly good... but instead folks went insane for this jellybean with dated styling because... pontiac?

On the one hand, yeah, it’s kinda cool- I used to see these around town when they were new. On the other hand, as I think literally everyone else figured out, why not just buy the infinitely more practical outback wagon?

Why not? you want a luxury flex? How about a car that must be kept in a garage? Also having built canoes and kayaks, you impregnate a piece of wood with enough epoxy, you are never going to have to worry about it rotting. You will have to revarnish it every couple years but again, that’s a luxury flex not a glitch. 

Yeah, the older you get the more you become one big walking pre-existing condition. 

Without even stepping near it, I can tell you that the fabric bits leak, the camper part squeaks like an army of angry mice and the soundproofing from the engine that’s basically right next to your leg was never good to begin with. at $3000, it officially becomes more expensive than it is worth and even then, you are…

Was it the price that was too high, or was it the people who designed the exterior that were too high? Because with half a century of actually elegant, rugged wagoneers to draw on, with a brand that is locked into its own traditions like star wars fanboys arguing cannon, y’all created an uglier escalade.

We are entering an age (god I hope it’s only 4 years but who knows) of (royal) court politics- whoever has the shiniest keys to jingle in front of the Dauphin will get the most attention, and being able to blame our horribly mismanaged problems on something distracting will become paramount. 

As I’ve said elsewhere, one of the biggest DEI gains was for the elderly- age discrimination in workplaces is a lot harder thanks to DEI, because including (inclusive) elderly (diverse) workers and making accommodations for them (equity) makes our workplaces better and makes us more stable as a society.

It’s going to be tragic hilarious when all the aging boomers suddenly find that DEI includes hiring protections for the elderly, workplace accommodations for the elderly and communication accommodations for the elderly (diversity, equity and inclusion is most often for age, not race). Oh, sorry, you’re too old. You…

Except deloreans were cool- they looked awesome and everyone wanted them to be these performance monsters that they were not. I honestly don’t think the incelcamino has ever had the same cool factor. Also John Delorean went down selling coke to prop up his business. Elon musk is just going down on a 78 year old fat…

The thing with the element was, the people who loved it, LOVED it. My favorite moment where I really understood the love was getting a delivery from a printer to take to a trade show. We had rented an escalade, which was at the time the longest vehicle available. the delivery fit inside the printer’s element. Id did…

Same reason Moog jammed a Honda Vtec into an original body mini. Are there easier ways to do it? sure. But who wants to watch sensible car mods?

Honda stopped making the Element because, as they put it, “Everyone who wants one now has one.”

When I first saw the picture I thought, “Oh cool, Ford is doing a smaller bronco.” Then I saw the jeep stuff.
