That’s a lot of money that’s not going to the people that made it possible for Bezos to have the boat in the first place.

Spare us, dude. Bleeding hearts for the suffering mega-yacht industry?

I front loaded all the problems with mine. Bought it from a friend for $800, non running, with 215k miles, and had been under a tree for 5 years. Has a salvage title to boot.

I was going to part it out and crush it, but it had so many nice options, and the damage that salvaged the car turned out to be a bunch of…

He turned me into a newt!

He’s a witch! Burn him!

It’s not remotely anecdotal. Multiple studies have shown that SUVs are more likely to flip, due to their height, and that you are more likely to die in a roll over accident.

Further proof SUVs/trucks are simply too big. They’re extremely rollover-prone, and will flip over in accidents that a normal sedan would stay firmly planted.

where is the more useful storage space?

If it were actually utilitarian, it would be a Corolla.

Except the momentum of the bus wouldn’t have pushed the frame and engine to the side, which is the majority of the damage except for the very easily smashed up fiberglass hood - only the car from the side could really provide that type of energy and it really wouldn’t take all that much given the frame is designed for…

“It’s the Volvo 740 series of the 21st century.”

As someone who is down there a bunch i think that black bear pass will need to be closed and/or permitted. Too many fucking idiots now think they can drive this. Any decent stock 4x4 can do this but........... the devil is in the details of course.

Yes, tired of Colorado being a cross section of these people and van-lifers constantly accidentally setting forests on fire or completely destroying natural sites (whether it’s constantly rolling off of mountain trails or overwhelming hiking trails with their dogs shitting everywhere)

A 23 year old and their designer dog drive their overpriced stock SUV/truck to one of the most dangerous trails in the nation and disaster strikes - this is a weekly story at Black Bear by this point.

There needs to be an action-figure of you.

375 hp Volvo 242, mostly stock E39 wagon. This for a family of 4.

Oh I’m gonna guess this was populated only by insufferable douchebags.

And try building a 7 mile tunnel in the US for a cost that does not include the word “billion”. $160 million for this is ungodly cheap for this type of work. Denmark’s infrastructure is so, so good, and doubly so if you are on feet or a bike, and about 100X better than the US for pedestrians. But, you know, socialism.

They are wealthier than you think. 30th per capita GDP as of 2017, higher than Canada, the UK, France, and Japan.  They usually have an actual budget surplus, and the population has a pretty high standard of living.

Or... they have a relatively wealthy government that actually has an interest in helping the population and improving their quality of life. I suppose that does feel like a foreign concept these days...
