You asked for a solution to a dealership that pokes you in both eyes.

The solution will be simple. Kia will no longer get exclusive good cars. All their marque cars will be available rebadged as Hyundais and Genesis. Kia dealership want to put you through the ringer on a Telluride? Go to the Hyundai dealership and get a Pallisade.

Not just higher quality, but also games that weren’t padded for length. I for one look forward to the Gamepass model expanding because when it’s about having enough good content it helps ease expectations and also cuts down on 8-9 figure advertising costs which only put the games in a deeper hole. There’s nothing…

Sure. Because in the majority of households the overwhelming majority of domestic responsibilities fall to the wife, both in terms of cleaning/maintaining the house as well as rearing children. Even if dad may handle bath/putting the kids to sleep/drop off at school, often the logistical items fall exclusively to mom…

Everything’s smaller in Europe. The people, the roads, the units for dispensing gasoline. Big honkin’ V8 SUV’s that get 20mpg don’t appeal much over there.

The absolute worst. “But little Johnny just has to come, years later you’re going to want him to have been there!”

Ha! At my wedding, before the bride came out, I took a moment to thank everyone for coming, they all looked lovely, how happy we were for them to join us on our special day, and to introduce our photographer, sing their laurels, and mention how incredibly expensive they were, and how their DSLR was infinitely better…

It’s the Bride’s day in that she gets final say on matters, but the end result is still that you’re throwing a party for guests. Make sure people are comfortable, are fed and watered, but set people’s expectations. 

The article is missing a key component here: “Why doesn’t my wife/long-term partner want to have sex with me when I want it?”

Sure. You’re camped in the left lane on an open highway doing 70 MPH. The speed limit is set at 70, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the engineering limits and safe speed that can be traveled on the road.

It is illegal to go over the speed limit. It is also equally illegal to impair traffic.

All the more reason to teach kids to use them. If your first time is glove-less, it’s hard to transition. Especially as a hormonal teenager when you’re the biggest hedonist in the world. Why do you think there’s so much teenage pregnancy? It’s not the lack of availability of condoms.

There is 0 to be gained by interacting with cops. Even if you’re not ultimately convicted you can get hauled off the jail where you spend a night with some less than desirable sorts, have your car towed ($$$ to get it back), if you have to hire a lawyer to get the charges dropped those are more out of pocket costs you…

No, pre-COVID e9x M3's COULD be found for dirt cheap due the rod bearing issue ($3k preventive replacement) and the “sacrilege” of being a V8. Now they’re ridiculously overpriced, even if the driving experience will put a wider smile on your face than any subsequent M3...

Not really following. RCS is tied to a particular phone number which is tied to your carrier and is yours only for as long as you pay for it.

Sure, but Hyundai is the parent company. We see rebadging all the time with the American brands. This isn’t too terribly different, but instead of rebading Kia’s greatest cars (and thus eating into their sales), a cross-promotional deal that has the effect of bringing Kia dealership standards up. Kia dealerships not…

For the same price you can get a base mustang with 300HP that does 0-60 a full second quicker...

We’re no stranger to “slow car fast” (if you are, test drive an MTX version of either a Miata or Mini S on back roads). But what’s the point of all those looks if its slower than a goddamn Camry? The problem with the 86 ($30k) is the existence of the 2.0 Supra ($40k). The 86 won’t ever get better guts because they’d…

What would be a game changer is if Kia allowed certain higher end marquee models (Telluride, Stinger, Ev6, etc) to be sold/serviced through their sister brands.

Have you heard about the FBI’s No Fly list? There’s no due process there.
