Mazda 3 hatchback (also available in sedan but go for the hatch please)

Bloated hogs waiting on line for half an hour to get something that will only make them plumper

that almost stranded us on a treacherous farmer’s path.

“Hmmm, a college roommate whose car we took from Virginia to Florida for spring break (mostly because it was a soft Buick, which was perfect for a long haul down I95). I did almost say “the I95" just to trigger everyone.

I have this argument with the woman about her family (she has 3 other siblings) passing around $50 for each of their birthdays. Like, just stop. You’re just passing around a $50 bill between 3 other people and the last one to die wins the money.

Exactly. If they brought the C43 over, I would have bought one. I cant afford a full on E63 not to mention the dealer markups

The only Mercedes I really want is the E63 wagon and even then the RS6 wagon is vying for my Hi-Po wagon dollars.

I maintain that Starbucks is actually in the dairy drink business, not the coffee business.  

It’s worth noting that Dealerships are often the reason that certain cars (colors, options, etc) sell poorly.

FIFY

I have an E350 wagon, and I love it. Almost all the room of an SUV with the handling of a sedan. I was seriously considering Volvo too, so that might be might next wagon.

And nobody but the worker you tipped will know. The next person gets to the window and is told their total and asked to pay, same as they would if there had never been a pay-it-foward thing.

Give your money to people who need it and that is certainly not people at a…

THANK YOU.  Forced generosity or charity is neither.  Also, sorry, not sorry, I don’t want to be the guy who has the cheap and easy order having to pay for the family of 6 behind me - I don’t have to justify my reasons, but sometimes people just can’t afford it.

Oof 

going outdoors is about striking a balance between discomfort and tranquility in an inherently uncomfortable setting.

This year, in a fit of procrastination, I didn't fit my snow tires until the first snowfall of the year. Driving my car both before and after lets me say with confidence that you have no idea what you're talking about to an almost dangerous degree.

Haven’t we known for a long time that a 2wd pickup truck is terrible in the snow regardless of lift or tire?  

Lifting their truck has nothing to do with obstacles, or utility.

As stupid as it is to have low profile tires on a big truck, the tread on those tires looks decent enough to be able to navigate that snow. My question is why would you lift a 2WD truck? What obstacle can you clear with just a rear open diff that needs that much ground clearance? Alas I think the neon camo pattern…
