Um, a Matrix is a small hatchback, while a Venza is a half-Camry-wagon/half-Highlander. I own one, and I love it. It's got a fantastic interior, drives much more like a car than the Highlander does, has a shit-ton of rear-seat and cargo space, and comes with the very nice 270 horse Toyota V6 and AWD. And I'll bet the…

I had never seen nor even heard of this particular vehicle before, but it is absolutely STUNNING. What a gorgeous vehicle.

You're gonna have to postpone mourning your family if you want to play 18 at Augusta; otherwise, the grass'll get too long to be worthwhile.

You answered your own question: "the last 10 - 15 years". That's a long, looooooong time for cars to fade away.

You know how colleges that are caught cheating get bowl bans? I think the Patriots should get a playoff ban. I think that no matter their record in the 2015 season, the second-place finisher in the AFC East goes to the playoffs. No fines, no firings, no suspensions, just a one-year playoff ban.

Ah, that does make sense. I didn't know that. Very well - carry on! But if I promise not to post anything offensive, perhaps someday I shall be un-greyed for good. Life is full of hopes and dreams...

Weird. Seems elitist. What's the reasoning behind this?

You wanna fight after practice or what?

Maybe for Jalopnik I can post pictures of brown diesel manual wagons until they like me?

Yup. That's why he's perfect for the Knicks - flashy, well-loved by the press, never wins anything. I'll take Thibs and the boys any day of the week. I do wish Rose could stay healthy for a while, though.

Hey, I'm working on it, I'm working on it!

Let me clarify that comment a bit. They SHOULD BE a premier franchise. They've got a wonderful basketball city, a great arena, passionate fans, etc. I guess I don't get why they're mired in about 40 years of mediocrity. Although, living in Chicago, 40 years seems like a blip on the radar for should-be-premier…

Related question: I love the early-2000s S6 Avants (fast, subtle, cargo room for two little kids, comfortable, etc), and see a few for $10k +/- $2k in the area, albeit with 120k+ miles. Worth it, or would I be better off with something like a 2008-ish Mazdaspeed 3 with similar mileage? I know the Audi would be more…

I'M NO LONGER GRAY MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!

As a Bulls fan since a small boy, I can't express to you how genuinely happy it makes me to see the Knicks continue to fuck up a premier franchise year after year after year. It almost makes me feel better about employing a Ferrari for a point guard (unbelievably exciting to drive, too fragile to use most of the time,…

This, of course, would be a wonderful thing to happen for people all across the world, and as such, the vast wealth of energy conglomerates will fight tooth and nail to make sure this doesn't happen. Similar example: Much of Sub-Saharan Africa, remote areas of the Amazonian rain forests, Middle Eastern deserts, etc,…

Damn hipsters.

Absolutely. Give me a comfy couch or something (like a Fleetwood Brougham?) where I can nap, surf the web (Wi-Fi or 4GLTE would be important), drink heavily, etc. So like a private, much more comfortable, cleaner bus, I suppose. I'm okay with that for commuting and much of the daily life. Just as long as I can keep a…
