The Ford GT is $400,000. The ZR1 is $120,000. I’m guessing it is going to do just fine “for the money”.

Sadly this isn’t any different than needing a completely autonomous vehicle. If the vehicle needs to be able to give up, alert the “driver”, and have them take control then the “driver” needs to be in a physical and mental state where they can respond to the alert and take over. If they are sleeping, drunk, having sex…

The hatred of the SUV / CUV has become an internet meme. If you can only have one vehicle, then a CUV has a lot of ... wait for it ... utility. It can transport people. It can transport your muddy dog. It can mildy go offroad to trailhead. It will get you OK gas mileage. Modern ones are safe.

As always it depends on the buyer. Do you have a dog? Do you have a muddy dog after a trail hike. When you do a crossover (or SUV) is 100x more useful than a sedan. There is never anything a sedan can do that a crossover can’t do except (1) better performance and (2) not look like a crossover.

I’ve never been able to reply to a Jalopnik review with “I bought one of these” until now... I have a 2015 XT (turbo) Forester. Yes, the CVT is annoying. So why did I buy it?

The maps shown (at least the 3 on the left) are from 2012, not 2016. (via the linked reference)

Since we are covering health care on a tech blog now (boggle) can you look into why my insurance premiums are going up 35% next year? Thanks.

The crazy thing is Seinfeld (friend of Leno) mention in an interview that Leno never spent any of his Tonight Show money. His crazy car collection is all from stand-up money. He continued to do stand-up every weekend while host of the Tonight Show.

I completely agree however there’s one reason it won’t happen—it makes the developer/publisher a boat load of money.

I always found these analyses so vague as to not be very useful. To me “living comfortably” means a house and 2+ acres of land. Can I get that in NYC on a salary of $87K?

This is going to get lost in the internet hate-circle but I liked BvS. I think it is easiest to explain this way.

There’s another reason to take the lump sum—changing tax laws. It isn’t difficult to imagine a wave of “down with the 1%!” sentiment to take hold and tax rates for high income brackets could skyrocket. It is much better to pay the (ridiculous) 40% now then worry about the 80% it could be later...
