“just trying to guess why people might still use a Garmin.”

I use one on my motorcycle (a Garmin Zumo series, which is motorcycle specific). It has several advantages over a smart phone:
Waterproof; touch screen can be used with gloves on; works when hot or cold (whereas phones will shut down); better visibility in…

My guess was AMC Matador Coupe. Boy was I off. Same era though!
My cousin had a Bradley GT. That was maybe 40 years ago. I thought it was cool at the time, in the same way that the Opel GT was cool.  I’d rather have the Opel. 

““The 1970's were the worst decade for US automobiles, period.”

““Stuft” Why? WHY? “

So it can be trademarked. “XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito®”

If the people from Central America were genuinely asylum seekers, they could have requested asylum from the Mexican government. Why come all the way to the US?

Uniroyal heap of shiznit when you have tire damage like that. Pirelli should carry a good spare tire on board. 

“...how is video an inefficient way of communicating? “ 

It’s a joke.  Did you miss the humor in the article?

“...the no-post version (sometimes called a “hard-top convertible” because marketing”
Two-door with no B-pillar = 2-door (pillarless) Hardtop 
Four-door with no B-pillar = 4-door (pillarless) Hardtop

Would you prefer they raise the ticket fee $100, then give you checked baggage and carry-ons for “free”?

What’s driving this is the cheapest fares get the most passengers.  And they figured out a way to cut $30-$100 off the ticket price and still make the same amount of profit, by making everything an additional cost.

Raisins are nature’s candy!  They’re the best, Jerry, the best!

“I’d either have a copy of the TSA regs printed out, or the relevant web page bookmarked on my phone. You can’t count on the guys at the checkpoint knowing the rules.”

In my experience, no official will be willing to even take a look at your copy of the regulations.

Gen Xer’s, who came a bit later than boomers. This could have been a first car for some of them.

Is scrapped (when you mean scraped) the new loose (when you mean lose)?

Raisin Bran....the raisins get rock hard after a couple of years, but other than that it’s fine.

A fleet-spec, appliance white shitbox of a van with a missing center row seat? This thing isn’t in good enough condition to command $5K. Crack Pipe.
