You’re right, let’s outlaw pedestrians. It’s the only way to be safe.

Yes, it’s weird how Jalops used to love boxes (station wagons and shooting brakes), but it’s now considered sacrilege if it’s this particular kind of box. I can hardly recognize this place anymore.

Yes, exceptions are way better, but I did work at an old-school C++ shop which made goto work passably well for error handling and cleanup/exit code- if you only use it to go forward to the end of a function and have labels “error” and “exit”. I wrote a lot of “goto error” and “goto exit” statements in C++ in the past…

I am with you. I love EVs, but it’s going to take time before I could own one without upending my life.

I know right? Sorry, you get to be the fall guy. There are over a dozen comments on here by satisfied EV owners who say that they charge at home in their garage, but mostly in passing. You said “charging has never been a problem” without qualification and then defended that contention by saying you could charge at…

Right, and let’s get the government out of building roads and bridges too- that’s too complicated for them. Who knows how they ever managed the Interstate Highway System in the first place? Y’see if Blackwater had been running the show in Iraq and the US Army just stayed out of the way, it would have gone fine!

Yeah, because I don’t offer my anecdote as though it were commonsense for all people- just want my people’s existence to be acknowledged as a huge part of the problem with EV penetration. I’ve heard a million comments about “well, lack of public chargers is no problem, because you’ll just charge at home anyway.” That…

You and every other happy EV owner has already pointed it out on every thread. Congrats for your lifestyle.

Wife can’t drive manual (that’s why I have the Focus ST), wife has a disability. I have been in a few TDIs and I’m not enamored with diesel performance. I’ve a friend with a Passat that gave him electrical problems (not a car guy so I didn’t press him for details). So VW would be a hard sell for me, it would be one of…

Lol what?

Cool, you do that. Child seats fit better in the HR-V, that is what matters to me.

Have you had a kid in the last 10 years? Car seats are MASSIVE.

A worthy tribute.

There’s an argument to be made, if you wanted to, on the specific vehicles mentioned in the USA Today article: the new crop of overstyled 3-row crossovers that are SUV pretenders. The Atlas and the Telluride are a triumph of form over substance, and the Pilot and Highlander are too expensive for what they are.

Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a C4 Corvette?

People can make beer, wine, and even distilled spirits with relatively primitive technology in most countries of the world, so I would say that coffee may end up as ultimately more valuable because it simply doesn’t grow here. Having said that, instant coffee is less bulky and has an almost indefinite shelf life, so…

Obviously they’re thinking of instant coffee.

But pooping in the dark means you can’t check the color of the paper to see how thoroughly you’ve wiped, and you can’t check the color or consistency of your poo to see if it’s healthy.

Looks like a 914 was melted around the edges. That body kit’s smooth look doesn’t do anything for me, I think it’s distinctly worse than the original.

Yeah, that’s me. Holy crap, there is so much good arcane stuff on YouTube.
