Don’t buy that Grand Am when you’re 18. You’ll regret it. 

All of them? I mean, the early 80s were not anywhere close to peak automobile.

I had a Matchbox one and it was my ramp car. 

I had something similar to the Shamrock shake.

I’m more interested in the CRX tucked in the garage. 

This is true. However, I don’t have access to that in my garage. So I have to do the hand brake or the Scandi-flick if I have the room. 

The easy way is usually the best way. 

Because you can’t have any fun in a snow-filled parking lot with your button.

Also, I don’t feel they work as well as a manual one. I have it in my work car and my driveway has an incline to it. It still rolls forward/backward even with it activated. I get into my wife’s car or my other car with a manual brake and…

I didn’t even think of the electronic e-brakes. They truly are awful.

Beat me to it. And they sound amazing when you do any sort of exhaust work. 

Beat me to it. Or at least let me turn it off in the dash or gauge cluster permanently.

It’s a tie between my wife and mom, as both continue to try for that passenger brake pedal whenever they ride with me.

I tried this with my wife once. Once......

This was my thought too. I have to pull my phone out to open the car and most likely wait a few seconds, but I can just pull the handle without having to pull like I have been for the past 8 years? How is this concept suppose to be easier?

My wife had Continentals on her Escape and they were disappointing as well. We replaced them with some Generals and they are rock-solid in all conditions. Not the sharpest in handling, but I’d rather her not hydroplane. I’ve also come to the conclusion that 99% of OEM tires are junk.

That Shooting Brake is atrocious, but isn’t that more on the coachbuilder rather than Ferrari themselves?

2021 Escape - 19" Bridgestone Ecopias are not great tires at all. squishy handling in the dry and they hydroplane way too easily in the rain. I guess the bonus to these is I can slide this thing around in the snow pretty easily.

To be fair though, people who have lived in town their entire lives don’t know how to work that interchange either.

I’m going to expand your choice and say any road on or going into Manhattan. When they say, “If you can drive in Manhattan, you can drive anywhere”, they mean it. I did it once and will never do it again.
