Right? An old Volvo 240 without the long roof is like cake without the frosting.

The problem with startups is that they are generally run by people with nearly pathological optimism. On one hand you kinda need that to convince people to invest billions in something that starts out as vaporware, but eventually people get impatient waiting for the pie-in-the-sky results they were promised.

Not in CA. Here it usually averages around the same price as midgrade.

If you plan to keep it long enough you will make out later. I’ve had a diesel for the last 8 years and only this recent surge has it ever been more than 5 cents over premium. Most of the time it averages out to midgrade

Butchering the classic styling with 80's headlamps, shag carpeting everywhere, the silly cabinets trying to convince you it’s an actual house,  I hate everything about this van. Every. Single. Thing.

Failure to report an accident? Fuck that. That’s a hit and run. Send her ass to jail.

I don’t need a coupe, I need a shooting brake.

What are the chances that Rivian is still operating in 3-5 years?

I like that they are willing to move away from the overtly retro look they’ve had since the brand reemerged, but the lines and proportions look awkward to me, particularly around the headlights and “grille”. I know it’s just a concept but a little more polish is still needed.

I’m not really seeing a problem with this. It sounds kinda sketchy on the surface, but really they’re just compensating buyers for post-production testing and focus group research. They probably want to have a chance at fixing software issues before the public takes to eviscerating the car on social. I wouldn’t do it…

For daily:

“stuffed animals”

Maybe if you bring all your clothes and stuff into the tent it gets to be a problem?

So which truck was abandoned again?

That’s the only way to know you’ve “arrived.” Only VIPs get assasinated. The rest of us nobodies just get murdered.

For cruising, a 4th gen Lincoln Continental:

Youtube videos showing people riding in the back seats of their self-driving cars should be met with derision and shame criminal charges rather than the fan-boy response they seem to get instead.

Most airlines won’t transport brachycephalic dogs in any part of the plane these days anyway.

I totally agree with everything you said, but the guy has a Frenchie. It’s short enough to stand up in just about anything.
