Yeah the human mind is good at shapes, but unfortunately emojis are so small that the little details make the difference between one and another. TBH I still can’t tell some smily faces apart, and I have perfect vision.

So that would mean something different:

Uhaul prices aren’t based on demand. Doing a 5 min search on their site shows that almost any two destinations that vary dramatically in cost of living and average income will show the same conclusion.

The title is misleading, because it says prices are skyrocketing due to demand. That’s not true.

This is the color scheme we deserve! And it’s accessible!

You’re exactly right. The guidelines are complex because they’re meant to be universal. I imagine a LOT of existing emojis won’t pass accessibility guideline and are going to be redesigned with iOS 14 or 15, now that Apple has mandated that. Like the SUV emoji - I always thought that was a Mini Cooper.

I’m just providing examples of why assuming everyone is moving out of California based U-haul prices is not an accurate assumption. There are a lot of reasons this could be happening. I’m not saying one is the answer - I’m just saying it’s not accurate to write a whole article about a California exodus based on Uhaul…

Well if they choose the right colors then yes, a colorblind person should be able to determine this is a truck. Which is why choosing colors carefully is important. Being able to distinguish the little details like taillights help people determine this is a pickup truck.

UI designer here: Red on that dark blue wouldn’t pass AAA accessibility standards. Not enough contrast in general and other issues with red-green color blindness come to mind.

The Ecoboost 2.7 already has dozens of plug-n-play chip tuners, ranging from $275 to $500 (COBB, RaceChips, K&N, 5 star, many more). All offering around +50HP and +70 Lbs-Ft on an otherwise stock 2.7. And you can pull the chip out for warranty work, if you want to. The 2.3 Ecoboost is similarly well supported.

Let’s not conflate coincidence with causality. Did you compare prices for the same journeys pre-pandemic? Many rental companies charge wildly more when you pick up in an expensive city, because of taxes, rent on the pickup location, registration fees, and average income of the location.

You’re forgetting how important modding is to the off-road community, and how much modding potential turbo 6 engines have - especially if the High Output 3.5 Ecoboost makes it into the Bronco Raptor.

True, but the last Bronco was sold in 1996 and the 5.0 V8 made 198 HP. And it was a bigger vehicle than the new Bronco. Everything had a V8 in the 90s, but that doesn’t mean they should today.

The V8 Wrangler is still just a concept and promo piece at this point. We know Chrysler will stuff a thirsty V8 into anything to keep their stale products looking fresh. Ford doesn’t need to stoop to that level.

Those plastic bumper surrounds aged prematurely and looked like shit when the paint faded. My guess is the owner replaced them with new surrounds and never painted them, because they’d just turn to shit again.

I went through the same thing years ago. In college I drove and ultra high mileage E39 M5 that had an online following. It was fast, loud, tough and sexy. And underservingly reliable when I was in college. But after I graduated and was balancing rent in a city, student loans and a suddenly troublesome M5, I had to get…

Any Mazda is a great choice. Sensible, practical, reliable, safe and still heaps of fun to drive. Definitely Jalop approved.

Regal TourX. Supremely comfortable, pleasant to drive, good fuel economy, hatchback for the do, safe, modern tech, AWD. Very cheap to buy used or new. Reliable. It’s the sensible choice without picking a 100% generic Sante Fe orCamry. Still Jalop approved.

Not sure I agree with your statement. Paying in cash will always get you a worse deal at almost any dealer, especially shady ones. Nowadays, your average Dodge or Nissan is sold at a loss, because the dealer makes thousands on financing after the sale. Saying “I’ve got cash” is like telling a dealer “I’ve got crabs”.…

Buy-here-pay-here scammy dealers often refuse to deal with cash or people who are credit-literate. They’ll sell a used, salvaged luxury car for a few grand below market to sign some wannabe sucker up for exorbitant interest rates, where they will make that loss back 5 fold.
