Also, the Brits say “naught" and the Yanks say zero for the number “0" . I kind of like naught better to be honest. Sounds friendlier.

The one that always gets me is how Canadians pronounce the letter Z as “zed”. I was watching a Canadian road test of a Corvette and they kept saying “Zed 06" instead “Zee” 06. I thought the guy had a speech impediment.

For $50K? Get a Stelvio. Room for all your band crap with 50/50 weight distribution and steering feel that’s Italian voodoo magic. 

I have no beef with Starbucks or any other premium coffee place or the people who buy coffee there. Have at it folks. It’s a free country and it’s good coffee.

I would agree that someone pulling a shift at the Waffle House in Split Lip Nebraska is definitely not pulling in the big dough. They should be getting a decent hourly wage in addition to tips.

People who are actually living paycheck to paycheck don’t regularly go to Starbucks for their effing overpriced coffee. They buy the big can of Folgers from the grocery store.

It appeals to service workers who make more under the tip system than restaurants would be willing to pay them at an hourly rate with no tips.

You clearly never worked at even a moderately priced restaurant with a good reputation and loyal customers. Or, maybe you were just bad at your job?

Bartending or waiting tables at a decent place is still about the highest paying part time job there is.

Thats what people say who’ve never made a living waiting on tables or tending bar.

I was thinking more in general terms, not at the Starbucks drive up window. Tipping wait staff generously should be universal and would do so much more than buying someone's expensive coffee.

For fuxsake, “Pay it forward” at place where moderately affluent people order overpriced coffee from the comfort of their large SUV sounds comically pretentious and tone deaf, even during a time where virtue signalling for sport is common place.

LOL. Didn’t know “in the rhubarb” was a Northern thing, but yes, I’m North of the 45th parallel and up to my ass in snow.

1500 ft. in 45 minutes equates to something like 33 feet per minute.

So, you got lost going one block to the Walmart? There must be more to the story of why it took you 45 minutes. You could have run there in a under a minute in boxers and Crocs, assuming you could see well enough.

The Stellantis GME 2.0 for Jeep makes 270 HP and 295 lb. ft.

Engines are not the expensive part of vehicle development, it’s the platforms.

And, you just had to have “opera windows” in the C pillar because it meant you were fancy.

Times Square is by far the worst part of Manhattan. 

I transferred in and out of Penn Station several times while on vacation last month. It’s certainly not Disneyland, but, it wasn’t nearly as grungy as you might guess. My only major suggestion for Penn Station is putting in better lighting would be helpful.
