Downtown is (IMO) safer than most major cities, but the outskirts (where you see most of the residential blight-porn) I would still not recommend visiting after dark.

No joke, they’re here and making small pets disappear fairly regularly. I have not seen one personally but HOA members (I was president last term...) have reported em and the city (a burb within 10 minutes of the actual D) has advisories out.

In all seriousness the deer are a huge danger, too, to inattentive motorists.…

Possums? That’s it? I’ve got plenty of those, plus raccoons, skunks, and woodchucks in a weekly grudge match for who gets to burrow under my deck. Never mind the deer munching on literally anything decorative I try to plant...

Hold the phone. Ronan is the big bad in GotG, yes, but I explicitly remember a line in there by Glen Close about the Kree empire claiming he’d broken from them and isn’t their problem anymore.

I thought he was well placed in CM, and dig the continuity.

Dammit Tom!
This article suggests I might be old enough for a Mercedes!
I never wanted to reach that age!

I miss mine. Old lady killed it just shy of its 10 year birthday... 2006 mkV.

Well no, thank you actually. ;)
I had scholarships and worked my tail off (along with living at home...) to get out of college debt free. We finished paying off my wife’s last year. We’re both born in 81.
If we could just undo so much of the economic shit the boomers have saddled us with, that’d be great... I don’t…

Wait, so the Boomer’s grand plan of bankrupting this upcoming generation is finally coming to fruition?  Too soon! Too soon!
There was another headline this week about how marketing is swinging away from millenials since most of them (us, dammit, wtf am I lumped in?) are broke. ( https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/w…

I’ve had the SXT rental before and was actually really pleased with it. It babied well, and I imagine adding the dog now probably isn’t going to be hard, either. For an automatic that 8 speed is really, really nice.

I have not assigned blame to anyone, I pointed out if the lady checked her blind spot she couldn’t have even seen the Bugatti, which does not absolve her if indeed it was a two lane turning situation. Situational awareness is the responsibility of every driver.
I have a 3 lane left on my daily commute, and I have to…

Shit happens, especially when the roof of your car is BELOW the window line of the SUV next to you.

FCA jokes aside, the (modern) Charger is one of the few cars right now that I genuinely think has gotten better looking with each generation, and I might have to add it to the list of vehicles I take a serious look at... I might just need a V8 in my life?

Bed mounted tesla coils! do you even arc bro?

Its been found to be a violation of the 1st Amendment if they do try to charge you.

Years ago when I was doing regular drives from Detroit across to Rochester (couple times a month for a year) I got very good at identifying the usual speed traps on the Thru-way. There’d be one or two close to Buffalo going east, then you’d be free and clear all the way to the 490, then again going east wide open.…

Luxury is a moving target. What used to be luxurious is now commonplace, so its no longer seen with the same level of prestige.

My Cadillac ATS? Not luxurious by today’s standard. Upscale at best.
My bosses E-class coupe? Great coogly moogly sticker starts 50% higher than the ATS but it blows it out of the water in…

I was born in the US, but spent every 3rd or 4th summer growing up in Finland with my mom’s family. It’s lovely to visit but I’m not sure I could handle the dark winters.

We Finns are Stoic most of the time, and only grumpy some of the time. My brother is a better example than me in this regard, but we enjoy being left alone. (Most Americans don’t get it, my wife included, I just tune her out like Kimi would)

Any other wheels I’d say NP. I can’t get past them.

Removal of thrown weapon for Rogues just made me shake my head. I’d already quit at that point but kept up on patch notes. WotLK introduced SO many QOL changes to the game, but at the same time, really started to diminish it.
