100% effective, as in 0% malfunction and not let me operate my car.

Snorting the high speed chicken feed at a rate of three lines per gram would make for happy and frequent customers.

Define a ‘dose’ of cocaine.

My first car was an ‘84 Vette in ‘95.  It wasn’t completely rusted in the decade it existed on salted roads, but the clearcoat was gone as well as all of the paint on the hood and roof giving it a distinctive primer/flat red two tone livery. It was a manual and RWD and met all of my teenage transportation needs. 

This was a good watch. Sadly, it seems that in our cultural divide, the side that refuses to accept this prudent advice gleefully participates in the destruction until we drive off the cliff.

Cherry tomatoes and shredded cheddar mixed in a dish with ranch to bind it together. The best parts of a side salad, or 2-3 side salads. Two pringles with EZ cheese as a layer of adhesive in the middle. 

Didn’t the original have some kind of orange-ish mayo based sauce? Either way, I’ll probably try it as I’m intrigued by almost every fast food novelty their lab kitchens can concoct.  Sodium aside, the original wasn’t as gasp worthy as all the media made it seem. It was more like two chicken tenders with the…

When I’m home on a weekday, I keep news on until about 9:30 when they’ve covered the same headlines about 5 times. It’s just to have something playing in the background and the off chance that some truly breaking news happens.  NPR checks the same boxes much better and they have actual in depth stories and…

Aggrieved and gullible. I wonder how long innovation would have been delayed if the whale oil or bugywhip industries had hundreds of millions to lobby and exploit a tribal toxic media culture. 

You’re on to something. I’d go a step further and require a legitimate need. like ag or trades, to register and drive full size trucks on public roads. Make the fee much higher than $1,ooo to prevent vanity ownership. The segregated parking lots is genius. You should run for governor.

Can someone post a side by side of this and a 90s Suburban to show size differences? I know it’s mostly the beltline and hood height that make newer trucks appear so hulking, just want a visual aide.  This one seems nice, but looks kinda overstyled as are all GM trucks. I guess it’s the times.

Some good, some obvious, and some silly suggestions. Stay home if you’re considering taking your Ion out in a blizzard. My vote is selectable 4WD. I leave the house in 2WD, then switch in and out of 4 high as needed; 4x4 auto if I have to go above 40 and the roads are dicey. I’ve never had to use 4 low in snowy…

I’m partial to the ‘dogs love trucks’ one. It was probably before they called their small truck Frontier. 

And online sports betting apps pimped every commercial break.

If you look north from Yuma, AZ, you can see Picacho Recreation Area. There’s a rocky mountain sticking up from the desert. I headed toward it in my new to me ‘02 Silverado Z71. I didn’t have pretentions of its, or my, capabilities; just wanted to drive off road. The trail started as a washboard two track, meandered…

And he chartered a boat to take him 30 mi out to catch that one fish. 

Exterior styling and spaciousness are its only attributes. We test drove a mid trim model and the interior was just not a nice place to be. Like an ‘09 Jetta but bigger and with flatter seats.  Settled on a CX-5 and, aside from annoying radio controls, couldn’t be happier. Notice that no Mazdas are on this list. 

I feel the same. I have a ‘13 F150 Lariat. It’s the nicest ride I’ve owned and aside from keyless entry, I can’t think of any tech or powertrain features I’d pay more for. Cooled seats and a big enough center screen do me just fine. If I drove on road trips or unfamiliar areas frequently I guess phone integration…

Right. Is this thing going to be as long a a CRX? Geo Metro? Hood+cab+4' bed doesn’t add up to much.

No, I’d rather them sit in a barn until I can find one, change the oil and tires and drive them. Maybe haul some mulch or get a Xmas tree. Relive my childhood in a solid but patinaed square body. Sincerely, though, there seems to be a better option than scrapyard or the old truck market being the rarified strata of…
