You can get a full ton 2020 silverado for $36K. No crew cab, but that is the point. If they could offer a 2 door Gladiator for $7K less, it would be much more appealing.

I agree everyone was happy when it was released. I was happy when they finished it. What I was getting at was that people lost their appetite for the rest of DBZA because they thought it would take 6 months-1 year between episodes.

Part of me still believes somebody at Toei watched DBZA, because of the episode of DBS where Goku instant transmissions all over the place and into Bulma’s bedroom. That had to be inspired by TFS.

Yeah, I’m glad they finished the cell saga. I’m glad they started the series in the first place. However, taking over a year to release the final episode kinda killed it. They can say the series is past its prime, which is probably true, but there needs to be some reckoning with the fact all of the enthusiasm was lost…

I was waiting for you to cover the story of the UAW making up a union and requiring its non-union employees, i.e. lawyers and others who don’t typically join unions, to contribute to it. Then it turned out they just took the money and put it in the UAW pot.

Who among us hasn’t wanted to swill Jim Beam from a car battery?

I do the opposite. If I am driving a BMW or Merc, I figure everyone is going ot think I am a jerk anyway, so I drive like one. If I am in another car or SUV, I drive much better.

Unless they updated the VIN information to match removing the features, I think he has a case. 

if the build quality is solid and the space is well-utilized it might not be a bad buy!

In actuality, not many of us were ever ‘cool’ to begin with. I don’t think it is as much coolness of other cars as much as blandness of the minivan. They are like the jack of all trades but master of none. They are most useful when the kids are in car seats. After that, they fail to provide functionality above other…

As someone else noted, they only do the free oil change when the indicator comes on. On my wifes car, it was every 15,000 miles, give or take 1,000. Someone else indicated it was 10,000 for them. Either way, it is a long time. 

Most of the time, those free maintenance plans have limits. Like X number of oil changes a year. For BMW it used to be 1 per year. They would use 15,000 mile oil and say it should last a year. If you drove more than 15,000 miles, then you would have to pay for an oil change.

I had one on my Chevy as well. 

Twas the 70s. This kind of thing was common. My town had a ban on cruising (couldn’t pass the same point more than 2-3 times a night) because of this sort of thing. Gas was cheap. No cell phones to play with. This is what a lot of people did for fun. 

I am not saying you begrudge every car, but you argument is so broad it basically can apply to most cars featured here. Most are not pratical.

I was specifically referencing your idea the object would be propelled backwards to the car behind.

There is nothing wrong with the CRV. CRV drivers on the other hand....Let’s just say there are some that pull the average down for all CRV drivers.

What are you planning to carry? A 55 gallon full of liquid drum on it’s side where it could roll towards the tailgate? If so, invest in some ratchet straps.

Why are these useless nonsensical variants of a TRUCK, that CAN’T DO TRUCK STUFF, and cost WAY more than most people make in a year a good use of R&D for technology development...

On the hood of the car directly behind waiting at a stop light... could be problematic.
