Why not both?

Seeing as the general “SUV Coupe” design is one of the ugliest car shapes to have ever existed, that’s a pretty low bar to clear.

(he hadn’t really been in any movies and still didn’t have great name recognition)

While some of them may be closeted, I expect the majority are just simply bigots.

It does more accurately fall into a hybrid of modern wagon/SUV, but I think a lot people get reminded of the big 1950's style family wagons, so I see it more often called wagon than SUV by people who like it.

There were a bunch of those squat potties when I went to India, including one on a train that was just a hole to shit on the tracks. It was weird at first, but I would definitely prefer them over some of the awful toilets I’ve seen. It’s pretty easy to hose out those rooms, they were at least sanitary most of the…

I’m not aware of any major failings of the car from a reliability perspective. They are well praised in most car-centric circles as basically being such a good, big wagon. Non-car people that I know think they are ugly because they look/act too much like a wagon. I’ve had a few for rentals and rather liked them, but…

Then there would be a risk of having to pay them for those efforts. The costs could even increase regularly as directors try to win. Much easier to just point out movies that made lots of money.

For the family on a budget, the Ford Flex remains one of the best deals for a used SUV. 

Top athletes (entertainers in general) have a much better argument for their salaries than just about any CEO. The biggest athletes in the world can actually be considered underpaid relative to the value they bring to their brand, especially in sports with a salary cap. Lebron literally changes the value of a…

If they live in the city, they are easily looking at $3k/mo in rent. My relatively cheap 2BR apartment 45+ minutes from the city was $2k/mo (5 years ago). You can’t buy a house for less than $400k in most of that region. When I lived there, you couldn’t even buy a condemned property for less $200k. Other than…

I don’t feel like trying to calc out the typical weight/kW/efficiency ratios to see if these numbers are even feasible, but it feels like the weight either needs to go up or the range down based on current tech. Since NEDC is typically higher than WLTP, which is higher than EPA ratings, that 310 miles could easily be 2…

Multiple states stepped in to make their own laws on throttling, so a lot people didn’t see anything thanks to the patchwork of state laws that should have just been left as a federal law. 

While you’re generally correct about basically every procedural character living an urban fantasy when it comes to money, Gibbs is one of the few where abandoning his house and all of his belongings holds well with his character. One of his agents could fit all of his personal memorabilia in a shoebox and it wouldn’t…

I’d rather just buy one of these

When I lived in Washington there was a short set of tracks that were near a common stoplight that I knew were decommissioned because of a project near them. I still never stopped on them because you never stop on train tracks. 

And if everyone from the list of people ahead of you decides not to buy their reservation you might be able to get one the deliveries eventually. 

Yup, that’s how we found out. For the Siennas I started calling first. 

Once you get east of the mountains in Washinton and Oregon, the local politics are much closer to Montana than their home state. There are fairly routine attempts by small groups for those eastern halves of the state to secede so they can form a new R dominated state without Seattle or Portland. 

That’s been a thing for a while now. I’ve been to multiple theaters in multiple cities for probably 10 years where you can get drunk. Just push a button/order and they’ll bring more during the movie.
