I can only access the comment section of about half the articles I go to, just through the poor functionality of all these sites.

I think they already flipped on that

Dang, a bomb neighborhood got blown up? This must be one of those cities that got burned to ground I keep hearing about. Or was it an epic 90's themed community that’s been lost?

That’s why I said modern transmissions. I know a ton of cars made the move from 4 to 5/6 for a while. Now the 6 speed seems to have died out in favor of the 8, 10, or CVT as the majority. There could also just be a bunch of 7 or 9 speeds I don’t know about it’s not really a thing at all. 

I read mostly terrible things about the 9-speed used in the Traverse & Renegade. I’m sure they could have improved them, but those were the big negatives when I was researching both of those cars. They’re the only 2 I know off hand that use a 9 speed though. 

Is there a reason why even numbers are so common on modern transmissions? I know GM has a 9 speed for their big CUVs, but 6-8-10 seems to the norm. 

Want a used Tacoma at a good price? Fuck you, too bad.

My primary Uber use has just been to/from a hotel or airport, so that tends to be pretty simple. For a few events I’ve gotten a ride to, I’ve run into the problem where I accidently set my “drop off” location somewhere that cars aren’t allowed. I always tell them to just pull over where we are and I’ll walk the rest…

Based on no evidence, I would assume the Venn Diagram of people who use TikTok and people with paper maps are 2 completely separate circles.

The best hotels are the ones that I can just cast my phone to so I don’t have to deal with logging into anything. That’s been pretty rare though. That hotels with streaming always seem to have a previous login still active, so that at least saves time. 

I love those classic paint schemes on these trucks. 

Without doing anything to confirm it, my assumption is that for Europeans who called China the East, the Persian nations are roughly half-way east. Making it the Middle East. 

Seeing what cars we could pick up was always a fun game after football practice in high school. Pretty shocking what 4 fit and determined teens with nothing better to do can move.

Thanks to the Bush wars and any media channel I’ve ever heard talk about the region, I think it will remain in the vernacular and be more common to say Middle East instead of Southwest Asia. However, I had a geography professor rant about it a long time ago and decided that I want to die on that hill with him. 

The original Yule logs of the Norse or Saturnalia by the Romans was way more fun than the watered-down Christmas we get. I guess that’s just what happens when Christians take over something fun.

I had a coworker who daily drove a Smart car and they were at least 300+. They are pretty short, so I don’t think 400. Regardless, the interior space of a Smart is pretty impressive. Although, the crash test rating is another story...

May have also changed the Christian holiday schedule so they didn’t just cherry pick the celebrations of Romans & Germanic countries with a biblical twist. I’m not sure if those African and Southwest Asian countries celebrated the winter solstice and springtime the same way, as the seasonal changes there are very…

Where the hell did this come from? I never said anything about including speed limiters. I have another comment in this same article that says I’d rather see EU level consequences than messing with cars.

Cyberquad Model 915 now supersedes Model 914

The Buffalo Wild Wings I worked at had a few parolees working there and they were great employees, in large part because they recognized having a basic, fulltime job put them miles ahead of other ex-cons. Crazy to think that being allowed to work at a chain kitchen is considered an advantage to your peers.
