I ended up getting the J&J vaccine (just happened to be what they had when I got my appointment in March). I feel like all the news that’s coming out these days is about the Pfizer and Moderna efficacy. Any updates for those of us that received the Great Value brand jab?

I remember the WRX had clear tail lights in the late ‘00s.

Would trade in my TourX for one tomorrow. 

Or pretty much any other new non-sports car

If we’re doing dad figures that aren’t really dads, I have to nominate Barley from Onward.

Is this just a general condemnation of the CUV trend?  Because otherwise I don’t get it.

Good suggestion! We used the bags for awhile but honestly they seemed to take longer than desired to compost themselves (and they were still kind of a drippy mess). Now that we’ve abandoned them, I’ve definitely had the issue of getting everything out of the container into the bin. This makes a ton of sense, and I…

2 door vs. 4 door, RWD vs. AWD, newish engine vs. ancient one

Need to add Trash Truck to this list. Stumbled across it on Netflix when looking for toddler options. It is straight up delightful. Nice animation, enjoyable characters (i.e. none of them are grating), and the sound/music is just generally chill. The episodes are usually 10-12 minutes and wholesome without being…

To a point. I know I was toying with the idea of a ‘00s Lexus LX470 for my primary car a couple years ago, but commuting back and forth to work at something like 13 mpg combined quickly squashed that desire. On the flip side I’ve never owned a car rated over 30 mpg. Basically bad fuel economy can be a detractor, but…

I mean, I get it, but my brain did not like this title.

Are there any aftermarket HUDs that are worth a damn? I really enjoy the handful of times I’d driven a car with one, but having a HUD has not been a factory option on any car I’ve owned.

Maybe back to its roots in that it’s a sport sedan that’s actually desirable and nice to look at.

I guess because when people are referring to you they’ll know how to? Pronouns are very ingrained in our speech (probably just as much as calling someone by their name), so it doesn’t seem unreasonable to give people a heads up.

I feel like with most these things, by the time the national news cycle picks it up, it’s too late for anyone looking to get rich quick (e.g. GME). Not saying it’s too late to invest/gamble, but anyone thinking they’re going to be another person making 1000% gains is probably going to be disappointed.

I’m tempted to Opel or Vauxhallize the exterior of my TourX. I can’t decide if still having the Buick badge on the steering wheel would bother me or not though.

I feel like I’m usually fairly unbothered by the slideshow format. Especially when it’s actually something like interesting stories/anecdotes from readers. But even I think this one is a bit much.

It looks good. I spotted a newer TLX A spec in the wild a few weeks ago and it looked really good and fairly unique. I imagine the Type S will have details that make it even better looking.

Just curious, do you mean solar roof panels in general, or specifically solutions like Tesla where the whole roof is a solar panel?
