Over in SE Michigan, there’s a highway exit 69 for Big Beaver Road. I’m wondering how the planners managed that one.

I can give you an ~10 point list why a sedan is better than a wagon for everything except looks and cargo capacity, but I won’t put that here. (Unless you ask.) As for looks, I do like modern, sleek sedans, but 90's styling has a certain, perhaps nostalgic appeal to me.

It doesn’t give you a headache from all of the angles and creases. Simplicity can be beautiful.

(Why won’t Kinja allow me to delete an accidental post?)

Preach! It would be cheaper to throw away your used clothes and buy new than to drive a bigger car all year. We are creatures of convenience, though.

But digital dashboards are GREAT, because people can drive around without their headlights on at night, at dusk, and in the rain and snow and NOT EVEN KNOW IT!!! (At least their GPS knows where they are, since I sure the hell don’t!)

I like when people actually find a nice backdrop for their car photos. You aren’t selling your driveway and subburban cookie-cutter house. Why not drive 5-20 minutes to somewhere interesting? Even a brick wall is better than old cars and your neighbor’s uncut lawn in the background.

That joke is so old, that.... I can’t even think of an “old joke” to go here. Serioiusly, that’s a 1980's joke!

Yeah, my first thought was, “REALLY, Ford!?? First you steal Aston Martin styling cues and now you steal Volvo’s???” Do see a lot of Hyundai as well.

What “cool” car did they drop from their lineup when the ‘99 Prius was launched? I vote that your distaste for hybrids are coloring your view of history. Toyota didn’t even expect to sell many Prius. 

The problem is that when security breaches DO happen (and they will), it’s on the victim to spend weeks and months of their life trying to restore their credit. When the credit agencies start treating customers with some respect, I’ll trust their streamlined systems.

If you have to ask, it’s not for you.

Where do you live where you can get houses for $175K? I guess you can get something far from the cities, but I don’t think you can get a house and much land for that price. Maybe a double lot?

That ad is only relevant if you live in Australia. For us over at the States, this data point doesn’t help us.

Um, you do know that this era and model of car has three modes? Rust, Bondo, and “back to earth”. Which one did you expect?

The thing is, he would have had damage to his bike, medical bills, and pain and suffering even if the sandbag was NOT there, so how does one figure out the cost difference if the track IS determined liable. Is there a formula?

But hey, lawyers gotta eat.

They went cheap on the Photoshop specialist. Interior Photoshopping is much harder.

Personally, I’d wonder how many of those non-miles were spent idling by the side of the road. How much wear does a warm engine take from idling? (I honestly don’t know.)

Quit raggin’ on him!
