I see a cab to sit in and a bed to stow things in. So... why exactly is it not a pickup truck?

Offer a true compact. I don't want a truck that's an F-150 size (or bigger). I want something Ranger size.

I have the version without subwoofer or satellite speakers, but it has integrated bass boost modules. I'm totally deaf in my left ear so I have never had the perception of stereo, so surround is wasted on me.

Soooomebody had a bit too much fun with a post-Shuttle-landing picture from Edwards.

Agreed. No hatch = no sale for me. Thankfully I'll be able to get a TDI or hybrid, but will I be able to get AWD? Probably not.

Now I'm curious to go find out if UPS actually owns any 747SPs.

It's also a problem because putting patents on safety advances keeps other vehicles from being as safe. When it comes to safety, that's unacceptable.

Some people are short enough that climbing up there is a problem. I'm one of them. I'm not male, so that might have something to do with it, but even some men are on the short side. Physical condition has nothing to do with it when you are simply too short to easily make the climb.

The roof is an integral part of the vehicle structure, and removing crossbeams to install that roof compromises that. Convertibles and other vehicles with large sunroofs have more crossbars inside the doors and in the windshield frame in order to restore stiffness, and even then they don't compare to a hardtop.

They still do that; people always will gravitate to where easy transportation can be found. New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and other transport-hub cities thrive as a waypoint to other places and businesses spring up around serving the travellers who pass through, and over time those cities feed back on themselves…

They do. It's the only way to get someone there who is that low. I've done it a number of times for my draenei guild that has its base in Shattrath.

So you repeat that something is wrong even when you know it is wrong...

Why do you keep writing "blimp" when this is, in fact, a zeppelin? Blimps by definition do not have a rigid structure inside their envelope.

And there have been cases where the court rules it the driver's fault, regardless of lack of crosswalk, because peds have the right of way and drivers should be looking for hazards, and the driver and/or their insurance have to pay for the ped's injuries.

Lucky kid, but also looks to me like the driver was going too fast on a street where there were pedestrians and parked cars. Always, always be mindful that someone may run in front of you. Plus, the kid should have been visible part of the time while still on the sidewalk, given the height of the van.

Everyone? No, we don't. There is no other good that I am forced to buy, in new condition, from a dealer rather than from the manufacturer. I order all sorts of other goods that way. Why are cars special snowflakes?

Why don't they investigate the NHTSA for failing to do something about the reports of crashes that were killing people? They could have forced a recall a decade ago.

Who are you to judge anyone else's hobbies as childish? What you see as beneath you is someone else's pride and joy. There's lots of people out there who think actual offroading is childish, too.
