Tom, I now understand what you wrote and agree.

If I ever win the lottery I'm going to Barrett-Jackson, buying the most expensive car presented and setting it on fire right there.

Did you understand it? Yes? Then it worked. Context is great, ain’t it?

“WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT, WELFARE ABUSING, GOVERNMENT OVERSPENDING IS THIS?! A FUCKING MERCEDES IS DROPPING OFF MY MAIL?! I CAN’T EVEN AFFORD A NEW FUCKING KIA, AND I’M PAYING THAT ASSHOLES SALARY TO DRIVE A MERCEDES?! NO WONDER TRUMP WANTS TO KILL THE USPS, THIS IS BULLLLLSHIITTTTTT”

Modern cars are, as a whole, somewhat annoying.

Sure the couch is more comfortable, and your tv screen will be better quality, but it’s about getting off of the couch. I can buy a 12 pack of beer for $15 and drink it at home with my wife, but we go out to bars sometimes and pay $5/beer. Why? For the experience. You get out of the house and see some different…

Our local Drive In allows outside seating as long as Social Distancing can be maintained. 

We have a local drive-in theater that does first-run movies, a full snack bar/restaurant, and a setup just like the one you’re complaining about. It’s the best deal in town. For 30 bucks we get the family in with all the food and drink we can handle, see two or three movies at the volume we want to hear it at, we have…

But some of us like different things from you!

Boring to you, not to me (I mean sometimes it is, but real sport isn’t scripted so it’ll inevitably be boring at times). You’re on Jalopnik not fucking Kotaku.

It’s NOT eSports. We don’t give a fuck about RC racing, battle bots, Pinewood Derby, drone races, the Tour De France, or any of that. I’m into motor racing.

Getting in early with my standard H-D comment before the usual “hate Harley” crowd arrives wishing for the company to die.

We ♥ you, Alanis and will miss you. 

I actually know this one because a former colleague bought her new Highlander ~18 mos. back: If you have a two-person household and a single dog and are American, a Highlander is the smallest vehicle that can possibly transport all three lifeforms simultaneously.  

“I also said that his store was the most convenient and that if he sent a competitive quote there was a pretty good chance that he would get the deal. I also said that if he didn’t give me numbers there would be a 100 percent chance he would lose the deal. He opted to let the other store get the business.”

But what’s the alternative? Me taking my business elsewhere. Either you might lose my business through me shopping around, or you will lose my business by not giving me what I ask for. Which one gets you a better chance of making money?

Wow, great read. Whether you are pro-union or not, we should rightfully honor these incredibly brave folks for being the catalyst for now common things like a 40 hour work week, holiday pay, sick time, breaks, and health care benefits for full time workers.

This is a great article and a great reminder about what unregulated capitalism will do.

If you’re not into it, then that’s on you. For me and owning an N since February, I started to have an appreciation for it. 99% of the time, I don’t have passengers. What makes it great is when I have to fold down the rear seats to put in shorter objects, I can open a rear door to grab and slide the object up instead…

Hard disagree. Being able to access the rear seat via door is fantastic, especially if you’re putting a human back there. Aesthetically I don’t find it unpleasant. And by giving it only 1 rear door, they have sacrificed as little extra weight and cost as necessary for that convenience. Refreshingly logical in a world…
