I too was into gnawing on Volvo in my early years...wait that doesn’t sound right., let me try again.

Clearly he means in the contemporary sense : in the DM.

I used to think that he had a bizarre haircut, but now I am seeing a version of this cut every time I am out and about. Dictator haircuts have been in for 2016/ 2017 I guess.

Oh, I think the festival also promised unlimited Juicero mixed with Effen.

Agreed, really this is an effective way to thin the herd and out people with more money than sense. Especially if they are Blink 182 and Ja Rule fans.

I’m surprised that they don’t seem to be taking along a backup generator in the trunk, but props to them for staying committed. As a Leaf owner it has been a stretch driving from Portland to Seattle; inevitably at least one of the charging stations is either not working or occupied when you need to use it. I can’t…

I’m really diggin that interior - Nothing to dislike there, it seems perfectly functional and pretty classy given the price point. Though of course having a tachometer would be nice instead of whatever that diagram is on the right side of the cluster.

Plus one for Weather Tech. I am surprised that work trucks and other heavy-use vehicles have not partnered with them as a factory option.

For me, it is not a matter so much of cheapness and touch as it is durability.

I generally agree, but the Golf is no longer a truly “cheap” car. For that, you get the Jetta.

On further inspection, I think you are right: that is a briefcase!

This is just perfect, and I commend you for having this profile set up long before this post dropped. Well played.

The little things are what really sell this. For instance:

Really though, do you need to ask? Clearly the man is not well.

It would indeed need to be a tiny fridge, otherwise he couldn’t open it with his hands. Maybe something like this:

And remember when (some) people stoked outrage that President Obama put his feet up on the desk? I guarantee that the rings from Trump’s stupid Coke glass are more permanent than some incidental heel scuffing.

And what is up with the disorderly stack of papers in front of him?!  It seriously looks like a prop of “I’ve got stacks of important papers to sign”, (like he had on his desk for that press conference on his business divestment) but without any of the normal organization cover folders that you would see for official…

This is tragic, and may their families and friends find some solace. Heartbreaking that they both sought escape from this world.

Glad that your resident Cars foresnic scientist has been consulted. I want to hear the text of the office chats about this topic, and if there are different “camps” of Cars truthers. Mostly I think we need to see a whiteboard with a lot of post its and string linking them all.

This is immediately what I thought of as well. You have all the answers at hand, though it does make for a pretty dark plot twist for Pixar’s franchise.
