Be specific in your complaint: “This is too rare; I wanted it medium, and it’s well done.”

Was at one point asking 80K for this??!! For that alone the seller can get bent.

This assumes the phone survives the crash.

I am so disappointed that this needed to be written out (nothing against you Dennis, an indictment of where things seem headed).

Deviations from historical norms like this imply that we’re near (not at it yet) some sort of market peak. Everyone and their uncle was buying gas guzzlers before energy prices surged. Meme stocks and crypto bros ran the last year of speculation to the stock market top late last year. Outside of that, everyone and…

I just thought it was an old Isuzu.

As long as money isn’t an object, I’ll say the Koenigsegg Gemera (can’t post images). There is nothing about that car that isn’t from the future. I can only hope that a lot of the technology in it eventually filters its way into more mass produced and affordable cars, which over time, tends to be the case.

Naw, at some point the bottom gets a bit soggy but it can be minimized. I think the key is the right kind of potato, blanching them and using a little corn starch. And maybe eat faster.

Tremblant is awesome if you’re fortunate enough to miss the bone-chilling cold. But yeah, Smokes definitely does some neat varieties without getting so experimental that it’s not poutine anymore. 

Agreed. The lockdowns seemed to hurt them badly. Saw several locations shut down over the past 2 years. Honestly, poutine doesn’t really deliver well so that may be a contributing factor.

Not sure “long dead” or “deserves” is applicable here but kinda surprised we haven’t seen a Hellcat Magnum.

I talked this over with my financial panther and he said ND.

Canadian chiming in.

Wasn’t all that long ago that dealerships weren’t interested in anything more than 5 to 7 years old unless it was some sort of specialty car that would bring people onto the lot to look at it. That’s why I was stunned to see a 45+ year old crap box on the lot. I don’t think they had more than 15 cars total, new and…

I didn’t stop to ask. Just didn’t want to engage. But it was brown so there’s that.

I had a ‘73. Shoehorned a 350 into it back in the day so it wasn’t as terrible as most were.

On a somewhat related basis, if you want to know how bad the used car inventory situation is getting, I saw a 1975 Vega on a dealership lot last weekend. I mean it looked in nice shape and all but, holy shit.

BTW, the quoted article was in the Athletic, not the Atlantic.

The struggle is real.

“The customer is always right” transcends food service into retail in general. We all know that the underlying intent of the phrase is to make customers happy. Absolutely, and for any business hoping to succeed, makes perfect sense. But we also know that way too many customers are fucking assholes. And it should be a…
