I’m not outdoorsy but like to cycle on rail trails and scenic areas. Every car henceforward will have a hitch installed. I messed with roof bike racks for decades, but a hitch rack is just so much cheaper and easier to deal with. I don’t plan to tow anything, but renting a small trailer could be a possibility someday.

For the right car, I can overlook just about anything? No rearview camera? No problem. No rearview mirror? No problem. No heated seats/windshield/rearwindow/steering wheel? No problem. No carplay/android auto? Likewise. Shitty headlights? No problem. Underpowered? No problem.

The overhead parking view, and its cousin in my Porsche, the 3D view I can scroll around to check things. 

And GM deciding 3 isn’t important is going to bite them so hard.

I remember some relative or other having one of these in their car:

Good lord, do I feel for this. I’ve had a lot of interesting stops in a relatively brief (10 years) in construction, but the worst field to work in, bar none, was hospitals. Because the “line goes up” dumbasses have identified healthcare as the biggest racket on earth since fossil fuels, what is traditionally the…

Lots of love for CarPlay/Android Auto, heated seats and steering wheels, rain sensing wipers. I get that. I’m going to be very low-tech here.

PCH isn’t really a ‘commute’ route. You’d take the 5 if you’re on a schedule.

I can honestly live without alot of things for a car. But yea, predictable response, but if I had to choose an option I can’t live with, it would have to be a premium stereo. Give me a stripped out GT Black Series, with just bluetooth and the best stereo system with deep Bass and I will be happy.

He is a living breathing “pee is stored in your balls” meme. I want to die. 

Definitely “Nightfall”, but it also makes me think of Lord Byron’s poem “Darkness” (which may have inspired “Nightfall”):

Sounds like Asimov’s Nightfall.

I was just gonna say “troll.”

Musk is a fucking POS, and you shouldn’t give him any of your hard earned money by buying a tesla.

Anybody wanna bet fitty cents who she’s voting for in November? (Assuming she’s not in the big house?)

Impossible! No gators were involved!

Having just spent a day at the local RV show I can unequivocally say that a brand-new RV tops the list of things you couldn’t pay me to own.

Classic Mini fans would probably use this as their biggest argument that the BMW-made cars are not “real” Minis, because the creators were drinking Budweiser instead of room-temperature English beer.

Once made public that this historical anecdote involved Budweiser, 67.3% of Mini dealers south of the Mason-Dixon line just had their Yelp review pages blown up and 72.4% have fielded death threats in the past 24 hours...
