Oh, I have been married. Emphasis on “been”.

“where GM said it would stay in it for the long haul. That was three months ago. Look how things change.”

Why does it always has to be a @£$#¤ 3-wheeler every time some crackpot wants to “reinvent transportation”?

Hella yes.

I hear coarse croaking and I raise you this:

Bingo!

Yeah, I appreciate honesty. But his yawning disinterest was astonishing.

You have a point.

I used to not understand the point with four wheel drive. “I have no plans taking my sedan into the forest”. I figured it was one of those things people got to compensate for a faltering masculinity or something. Awe me, for my car is butch.

Yep. That was a dealbreaker for my wife too. There was a halfdozen times when I did things like smiling stiffly and nodding in her direction when the salesbro kept talking to me, and that time I half-bellowed “YOU REALLY SHOULD ASK HER. AS WE TOLD YOU, IT’S SHE WHO WANTS A CAR”. I did not like that guy.

I have met a dozen idiot car salesmen and about two good ones.

They should also ban the “new car” perfume that salesmen spray in used cars.

Rich people: “I don’t want just a cubic mile of money, I want 1.2 cubic miles of money! I deserve it! We winners write the rules!”

Yes - yes, we do. I think it’s because we live in a rather remote, large and sparsely populated country, so cars became important things early on. Not just for convenience or status, but the difference between life and death. When it’s -40°, you live a hundred miles from the hospital, surrounded by elks and snow to…

I once bought a used 4-stroke 350 cc cross-terrain bike that had seen better days. The former user had removed the air filter, though there was at least a plastic box around the intake.

You should call it “Rectangular car review”.

I used to be a devoted motorcycle disciple between age 12-35. Then I got tired and fed up, and lost my interest almost completely.

The sofa that takes me to work if I handle it carefully.

When we went shopping for a car many years ago, we actually had to intercept and drive a sales guy into a corner. We pointed at an Audi Allroad. “Is that built on the A6 platform?” He sourly said he thought so, and left.
