Mazda5 is the only true minivan that was made recently, but it’s way too small if you actually want to haul stuff around.

There is a way bigger market of CUV/SUVs out there than station wagons (at least in the US). That gives you a lot more choice in options/features.

Detroit-style pizza

Not sure where you live in the US, but you’re just plain wrong. I know LOTS of people here in the midwest that had the flag or wore it and referred to it as a ‘rebel’ flag, and they displayed it as a way of being a rebellious youth. For you to decree the intentions of tens of thousands of individuals is just plain…

I usually give a thumbs up to cars that pass safely or don’t cut me off. I like to think they’re less likely to hate cyclists when they get a thumbs up.

They don’t do well...

Fuel pumps are cooled from the fuel flowing through them, and are designed to work with all fuel levels in a tank. My three vehicles are all currently less than half a tank and the fuel pumps have not overheated.

This is not true. Your fuel pump is uncovered by the time you’re at about 1/2 a tank. There are millions of cars driving around under 1/2 a tank every day without failing fuel pumps.

Yes that is still very much a stereotype (even if just for caricatures and costumes).

You base your TP purchases on whether or not there’s a cardboard tube left when the roll runs out?

Charmin Ultra Strong doesn’t “shred” either, just the Ultra Soft.

That engine looks eerily similar to the one in a Hyundai Scoupe Turbo I had a long time ago.

America is a large place, several countries in fact.

Maybe where you live, but outside of someone singing Eminem lyrics (yes I know this is where it comes from), I have never heard this term until recently. Now all the Gawker writers are putting it in every single article.
