Diono is the best. That brand let me fit 3 car seats in the back of my old Jeep. 

I can dream that the Sport version is a lowered CUV instead of a more compact version.

This list would have been a lot more interesting if it didn’t include ultra-high end cars. I don’t think anyone cares about the full economy of a Ferrari, but it would be interesting to see how many mainstream models are still under 20 MPGs.

Makes me wonder if the wagon might actually find new life in the BEV market as the manufacturers continue to lower CUVs to chase more efficiency while making them longer to give useable space...

I live in Texas, so the whole snow thing doesn’t matter (outside of like 2 days every couple of years), so I’ll go ahead and take a 911, most likely a Turbo S. I love the look of the targa tops, so one of them would also be in strong consideration. Since it would be mainly for casual driving, I’d want to try a few and…

With the top up, it accentuates complete lack of visibility. So it has the visibility of a Camaro with the driving dynamics of a golf kart.

Is that on a per model basis? I’ve driven cars that are primary FWD and only kick in the rear wheels in specific circumstances and those felt veryyy different from the Subaru I own. I can feel the AWD difference and power to all the wheels in my 2023 just like expected from a full time AWD system.

I second this. We have a new Outback & Ascent in our driveway and both are perfectly fine at accelerating and driving around town with total comfort. Relative to the many rentals I have driven, both Subarus accelerate faster and smoother than the comparable vehicles in their class. I was initially concerned with how…

What do you do in a gasoline car that only has a keyfob and no physical key that has a dead battery?

Erin pretty well covered the biggest point of this, though.

I could go for some Jedi ass-blasters

After about 5 minutes of chewing the gum, they’ll be ready to discard it too.

Very much that. If you want manager pay & manager bonuses, you also get manager phone calls. We’re generally pretty good about letting PTO be time off, but it’s similarly more convenient on my overall life to deal with a few hours of stuff while taking a week+ off.

The update took away contacts option in the chat tab and made it a completely separate tab that requires opening a new window to access that chat and I’m furious about it. I chat with 10-20 people, which varies who, plus a few small group chats daily and it has made that much worse. Why would a team program not be…

I imagine the Venn diagram of people who buy Toybarus and people who respond to corporate surveys consists of 2 separate circles. 

Based on the cost of higher education in America versus just about anywhere else, it’s really more of an American problem. Quite a bit of 1st world nations don’t have the issue of 1st gear. 

Entertainment being called news is a real pillar of our current social ills, IMO. I don’t know the solution, but I’d love to see a giant amplified message that details the fact that the most watched “news” channels/personalities are entertainers who are legally allowed to lie to the audience. 

Stranger danger has really destroyed a lot of people’s understanding that the vast majority of the time, strangers aren’t the problem. Since rape/sexual assault is dominantly performed by either a family member or trusted acquaintance (teacher, coach, priest, etc.), it would make sense that it’s not something with a…

As a frequent renter, I definitely feel that gripe. I think I’ve just gotten so accustomed to figuring out the different set ups that I am used to each brand pretty quick. Part of why I hate Toyotas is that some use a stalk behind the wheel, but they are overall my least favorite brand for renting. 

I agree with the preference to have HVAC be physical buttons, but I love the steering wheel button standard to all cars. Volume, track/station skip, cruise control, and voice/phone activation are all perfect things for the steering wheel. Once I get used to where everything is, I vastly prefer it over the old stalk…
