I feel like Lexus really undersells their NA V8 offerings. They’re the only non-American sports car pushing them out and they seem to be well likely by anyone who remembers they exist. 

It’s one of the things I hate about visiting family on the west coast. They all live in various rural mountain/woodsy areas and I am constantly getting tailgated for not hitting some blind corner doing 60. I don’t consider myself a slow driver in most cases, but I know that when I’m on an unfamiliar backroad those…

Bold assumption that no one has ever brought this up to the operating DOT, especially since the police have been called there on multiple occasions. Until the cost of sending cops out there outweighs whatever changes need to happen so people slow down, it is unlikely the municipality in charge will do anything.

That’s why I went to a credit union. I showed the dealer my terms to see if they could beat it and they laughed and didn’t even want to try. 

They don’t have it here, but it is 19-20 city & 28-29 highway for the 2.5T. The hybrid doesn’t have EPA numbers yet. The 2023 1.6 hybrid, was 36 city & 31 highway, so probably in line with those numbers. 

My wife’s car will be ~9 years old when our oldest is driving, so probably that one. Then when our second starts driving, my car will be ~11 years old, so probably that one too. Third kid is SOL, so they better start saving.

You clearly lack the billionaire mindset. /s

Just bought last year and adaptive cruise was that feature. Since I mostly work remote, the vast majority of my mileage is highway driving and adaptive cruise is just amazing.

I think this just highlights a whole different set of criticisms for these hearings. That they consist of a team of interns writing questions for a Senator who then reads scripted talking points for the camera with the same intelligence as Anchorman. 

I find the majority of Mercedes to be anywhere from ugly to bland. These, however, are pure art and I love them.

The internet is no place for nuanced discussions. 

you forgot option C: CARS ARE EVIL AND SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ALL CITIES

I had no idea those even existed until just now. When the Avalanche first came out, didn’t a lot of truck people pan it for not being a typical body on frame structure, so it wasn’t a “real truck”, much like the current Ridgeline? If I’m remembering that correctly, I doubt anyone in the HD market would even consider…

With so many anti-labor policies from the GOP, it can be difficult to sort sometimes. 

The Greek stuff is a source material issue. The first WW was generally a great adaptation to comic character. Both DC & Marvel have used various mythologies in their stories and they generally don’t care at all about accuracy to the original mythologies.

...have increased by 300 percent in a single year...

Taste is one of the last things that matters when it comes to discussing the failings of Trump’s cabinet. They did their best to de-regulate everything they could for the sole purpose of a few benefactors making more money. Elaine Chao was literally in the exact position to affect car manufacturers and gave zero shits…

Rather than a traditional chain and derailleur that you’ll find on almost every other Orbea bike, the Diem comes with a carbon belt drive setup, which should be easier to maintain than an old-school chain.

I remember a popular MySpace post that was a big rant about why DEI programs were actually just racism against white people. Back then, the term DEI wasn’t used, but the whole post was about how BET & scholarships for minorities is racist against white people and should all get banned. Unfortunately, nothing short of…

Exactly this. The infinitesimal change to my safety isn't worth the time to research another flight site and having fewer options for my travel time.
