I hear ya brother! At my ‘ol country club valet job, I properly parked a banana yellow’43 Lincoln with 3 on the tree in a front spot. As I walked away, it rolled back into a metal railing, shearing it off. Cracked the cement base too. Not even a slight scratch on the bumper though!

Clearly you don’t know how valet works. They often have a small lane for intake, a few front spots for VIPs/people that tip great on the way in, then a main lot/garage a block or so away. The Caddy was probably temporarily placed in a front spot, whilst the valets were handling a big 7pm/8pm rush of cars coming in and…

It may have been parked in front temporarily. If the Caddy driver didn’t tip appropriately, he shouldn’t assume assume it was permanently ‘parked’ up front.

Pfft, what is this, amature ahr? Every proper Pittsburgher knows you lay dahn some cardboard, maybe plastic sheeting on the car the nite before. Evertyhing comes off in seconds, sparing oneself from pain in the arse scraping of ice n’at off the windows. 👌

 Also on an unrelated note: Did you know Subway® ‘Footlong™’ subs aren’t required to be a foot long? Someone kept measuring their subs, many around 11-11.5", and sued over it of course.

In most cases, I find it calming. If there’s a fresh, soft layer of snow, it can be soothing, eerily quiet. Before it gets all slushy and gross, it’s like the usual road noises are muffled away. Like driving in a quaint, picturesque snow globe.

Creeping to the threshold of 30 large is absolutely not bad. If the current base price is $28k, Mazda has kept it well below inflation. (source- usinflationcalculator.calm 😏)

Translation: ‘We don’t want peasants on our platform.’

Don’t forget the custom lightweight oil dipstick, another exclusive piece of the elusive Mazdaspeed MX-5!

Let’s all shed a tear for yet another piece of old tech which is forced into extinction. Pushing us into newer stuff which is more expensive, won’t last as long, and probably requires a monthly fee.

Got 'eem!

No, cruise control never cost $12k and called itself 'Full Self-Driving', so it is definitely not the same.

Winning’s winning.

And then the individual cases of wrongful death, vehicular manslaughter, etc... all those lawsuits won't be directed to individual insurance firms and the driver's policy. They'll all be directed to Tesla itself. They'll have to pay out big time every instance when their programming saves their driver but injures…

Hmm... And how much attention did you expend focusing on that van driver’s phone? Must have been a fair amount, to ascertain he’s watching a video, to get the company details. One would think you’d focus more on your own driving, and not the guy working, who may be pulling up a map when traffic permits.

And don’t forget + electric motor assist! Yes sir, the days of confidently buying simple used Vovlo, a 240DL estate with 150k perhaps, are long gone. Bring on the supercharged, turbocharged, plus electric assist era! What could fail?!

Ah, Nice Price simply for the fun you’ll have at the valet stand.

Yeah those ‘Robotaxis’ were ‘due out by 2020', according to widely publicized and unregulated tweets by the CEO. I hope the folks who spent an extra $10k based on that promise get paid back somehow. 

Or a 2004 MazdaSpeed MX-5 Miata. Woooosh PFFT! 😜

The real dick move? EV drivers getting a free ride, while people who aren’t affluent enough to buy a much newer and expensive car have to shell out $250. I envision many snooty rich kids get mommy and daddy to buy them a nice new EV for college. But the middle class kid taking mom's 2010 Accord LX gets a $250 bill? <…
