    “Modern problems require modern solutions” and all that...

    Technically, we can sell the car “as-is” but then the buyer would likely try to haggle more than if the car was sold “safetied”

    I bet they did it on purpose...

    Meanwhile, poor little Ukraine in the corner mumbles “well I didn’t agree to any of this”

    NEUTRAL: this explains John Travolta’s performance in noted ‘90s classic “Broken Arrow”

    That grain of salt is how the rust started in the first place...

    That Thunderbird from Skokie, Illinois, would be great for transporting my barbershop quartet...  Will it fit my baritone? He’s a big guy - like, orca fat...

    I hate that you’re right, but this is my thinking as well: easy to boycott Russia and pull out your business when Russia’s share of global trade is tiny (and shrinking); I think it accounts for maybe 1-2% of the revenues for a lot of businesses that pulled out.

    Maybe Putin will have ushered in some unintended consequences: a revitalization of NATO, a renewed commitment to liberal democracy in the West, and providing impetus for us to pivot away from being so reliant on fossil fuels for our energy needs (and fossil fuels sourced from reprehensible regimes in particular).

    Sorta like the burned Titanium shift knob finishes... Fancy!

    Thank you for this very informative reply!

    Clearly reading comprehension is not your forte, because none of what you gleaned from my comment, is actually what I posted. But judging by the fact that your post wasn’t witty satire, it really isn’t a surprise that you’re ignorant of history, economics, politics, etc.

    I’m no sword expert (I just wanted to post that Kill Bill clip) but didn’t Japanese swordmaking-technique arise from the difficulties of working with poor quality steel/smelting?

    Psst.... Syria, Egypt and Libya were ruled by tyrants long before Obama was president.

    Fair point. I considered a Mazda5 before landing on the Mazda3 precisely for the sliding doors and small form factor. I think the Odyssey requires a premium diet?

    The worst thing is, it’s all marketing mumbo jumbo - SUVs are worse in virtually every practical way, except for being higher up (and even that’s a dubious benefit)... There’s nothing a SUV/CUV does that a wagon or hatchback can’t do better.
