That’s most of these car based SUV platforms (Acadia, Atlas, Telluride, Pilot, etc). If my whole family needs a long trip in the Atlas, I use a rooftop carrier. It’s part of the general complaint about people buying these SUVs over a minivan. Vans have superior interior space while taking up the same exterior volume,…

I’ve seen a surprising number of that generation of Explorer with that missing since I moved to Texas in 2019. I started wondering if it’s a southern heat thing or if it just took until then for enough of them to fall off to be noticeable.

Oklahoma is adding them now too. 

In most big cities I’ve been, that has more just been someone taking off into the intersection in hopes they can turn left before the oncoming traffic starts to move. 

You mean someone with the title ‘healthcare executive’ is out of touch with the average American? I’m shocked.

After purchasing their 3rd Tesla no less....

Did your Toyota not have the option to just turn on classic cruise? I’ve had adaptive cruise in a few rentals and I was able to turn off the adaptive for the entire rental time. Regardless, the Toyota system from just a few years ago was awful, but my 2022 Taco last fall was noticeably better and pretty much any other…

There’s a growing amount of research that the best method of charity is just give people cash. Most people know what they need and are prone to use it mostly for the those needs, they just don’t have the cash to make it happen. That also removes a lot of the shady overhead from charities that have to manufacture,…

May have to catch the perfect window of Gen-X/Millennial nostalgia. While their accomplishments are tainted, it was just awesome watching Sosa/McGuire go back and forth like they did.

The Saudi’s are trying to diversify their wealth, so the money is invested in too many places for the public to be able to push back. They already sold off Aramco, which is where the cash came from for much of this sportswashing. It doesn’t make them better, it makes them socially accepted/invisible, just another bad…

I always get annoyed by articles that only use the average. Give me the mean, median, standard deviation, and total sample size at the least.

Think that will hold though? Seems the opinions on the steroid era are starting to improve in most of the public eye, since basically everyone was using them.

Would make a cool Myth Busters episode. 

I feel like every few years a new lawsuit about it pops up and Jeep has to remind everyone that’s how physics works and then everyone in comments here laughs at the people who overpaid for mall crawlers. It’s a vicious cycle (literally and figuratively).

Looks like this article will end up similar to the Onion’s mass shooter thing that they repost every time another shooting happens, except this is all real. 

Something I had pointed out to me when I offered a similar sentiment - Gensis is likely aiming at the Korean and other East Asian executives. The long-term goal is to be mentioned alongside Mercedes & BMW, but the initial goal of these cars may simply be to capture the home market and help build the cache you speak…

Wow, turn it off and back on again. Ford’s really pulling out all the stops on this one.

So people want to just pick & buy the car, but they still hate the dealer experience (which is still required for basically every order).

Koenigsegg Gemera (honestly, any other Koenigsegg works too). That’s more of an issue with the cars costing more than my entire net worth, but it’s definitely what I’m buying if I ever decide to scam some PPP type program.

Considering the car has no steering wheel and it is supposedly meant to navigate the most difficult terrain to drive on, I’m okay dismissing all manner of practicality. I’m also one of those ‘Baja all vehicles’ people, not because it makes it more practical, but because it just looks fun. We deserve BEVs that are as…
