It’s true. I cannot fault the resorts for this entirely. Even as far back as the 1990s when the Showcase mall next door first opened, we’d all park at MGM and then walk next door. It was quite honestly the distance of at least a mile, but it was worth it to save cash.

All we ever wanted in Las Vegas was to connect the Monorail from Downtown, to McCarran airport. 25 years we’ve been waiting, and still not a damn movement in the direction.

24 payments left at $650 a month (rolled in equity from trading another lease in too soon’

The Canyon is the Colorado for people who think Buick dealerships are fancy.

Why does it need to look mean? The whole “every vehicle needs to look pissed” thing is WAAAAY overdone. It looks like a Honda, and looks perfectly fine to me. Ultimately, it IS a Pilot with an open bed, so why shouldn’t it look like that?

This is a tough question because, Luxury cars SHOULD be expensive/privilaged, but at the same time, not overpriced.

I’d like Mercedes to step slightly away from the “luxury” side of things and right into “high quality” what I perceive they used to be.

As a “data people” (we call ourselves Data Professionals, just fyi) with 25 years of experience in data and 20 of that with a big corporation, I can assure you that the people managing this are NOT data people.

This thing is the Danny DeVito to the Indian FTR1200's Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Check the hold for Sciroccos and Syclones.

re: artistic drive, and the waxing and waning of same.
Yup.
Annie Dillard described that urge as being like a well, that there was no point in saving creativity up, that it’s better to spend it all, as long as you can, to keep at making and doing.
But.
Even using her own analogy, the well, must, as times, go through

I support this initiative, but only in the form of the split bench with the fold down arm rest. My 1991 Ford F-150 allowed for some good times for myself and my ex-wife with the bench seat when I was occupying the driver’s seat. However, since it was not a split bench, and she is 5'2", if she drove, my knees were in

The no less adorable solution that is more practical, although only slightly is get a semi trailer and tractor, specifically one of these.

I would like a white, windowless electric van with “Free iPhone charge” painted on the side. More effective than candy, I suspect.

I wanna flip this NP/ND around from asking us what we think of the truck and ask:

You are correct-they didn’t want the factory bumpers. Up into the late 1980s, the most popular bumpers were the iron and/or steel bumpers with the dealer’s name engraved into them. I still see a few restored trucks with those bumpers moving around today.

You can get a new F-150 with the Coyote, throw a Ford supercharger on it to preserve the warranty, and get the same amount of power for damn near half that price 

Nah, cause he’s a weird asshole who got super lucky to be born wealthy, then lucky again to get in on the dot com boom at the right time, then even luckier that tax credits and carbon credits have been propping up Tesla. SpaceX is the only thing he's done on merit and he's just the money man there.

Looks like your fuel system is set up for an external combustion engine.

All the best designs are from the 1980s. We should reïntroduce these graphs. Here’s a mockup of a depreciation graph for a Chevrolet:
