This article is nothing but begging for straw-man arguments about who needs what truck and why — it’s sadly divisive when there’s no need. To recap:

Driving my non-lifted, stock-tire-sized 1997 GMC 1500 long bed, two tone Silver on dark red with matching dark red interior:

The Nike “swoosh” sticker alone has me swiping left.

The wagon was even better. I still lust after one. Instead I have its spiritual successor, my 2015 Fit.

Man, instead of jumped the shark, people will start saying Showed The Robovan.

Maverick. Why buy used when you can buy brand new with a warranty fdor the same money? I paid $25,200 for my new 2024 Maverick. The base XL is actually very well equipped for a base model, it is no penalty box!! Plus mine is the hybrid and i am getting mid 40's mileage. It rides great and has plenty of power. I have…

Wow. you can really make a 914 look worse. Impressive.

The 2025's start at $26000 and the used prices on these are so high it makes sense to buy new. 

In defense of the Loop,

This wasn’t even a police chase, makes this even more senseless.

Yes but at least with the Nissan versa, I can get parts at the AutoZone down the street. There are a zillion of them on the road. And if I need service from a dealership there's several of them within a reasonable drive. Currently there's only one vinfast dealer in the Dallas area and it's almost 2 hours away from me…

If an AI program even once suggested that the dealer price A Hellcat or a Cybertruck or a high mileage Versa for even more than the dealer’s first guess and some fool actually paid it, it’s going to be really hard to shake their faith in the all-knowing AI.

A Ssangyong Rodius is almost, almost, better looking than a Cybertruck.

I get the historical/economic significance of K cars, I really do, but I maintain, in contrast to what Lee said about them, they weren’t cars you wanted to buy—they were the cars you had to buy (if you didn’t want Japanese) because they were cheap and plentiful. Growing up with these things almost turned me off of…

I think there may be a little hyperbole going on with McLaren claiming everything to be “new”. The Aerocell is a good example. I suspect that more aspects of the car are likely similar, but you don’t market your multi-million dollar toy by telling potential buyers that it’s just an incremental improvement of what…

Another unusably fast, unobtainably expensive supercar that will almost exclusively be purchased by middle eastern oil barons and stored indefinitely with delivery miles in a sealed warehouse. The writeup/article is good and I don’t want to discount that, but man it is hard to care about new releases like this.

They were supposed to but the whole thing turned into a corrupt mess bc everyone insisted on being included on the line which gradually made it unworkable. It makes zero sense that there aren’t more trains in CA, the traffic is so bad and there’s so many people that need to get places. Instead we get even more wastes…

Yup I have worked in real estate on the title side and have a LOT of experience in working for various agencies trying to get ROW to build a road or something. It is always a huge pain and it takes literally years. They are trying to cut through highspeed rail in the county east of where I live in Texas, it’s almost…

They’re working on it.... But it’s been a quagmire. There’s supposed to be an LA to Vegas train “in the works” but I’m not optimistic.

Because wealthy people do not WANT a easily accessible high speed rail to popular destinations. The last thing they want is more of THOSE people going to THEIR special spots.
