I remember being gob smacked when I originally learned the price of the LFA. They ran TV ads for the car. I knew it was going to be expensive, but I figured it was like current LC expensive. Not McLaren/Ferrari/Lamborghini expensive. Learning more about the car as time passed, I totally understood the price, but the…

I nominate the Ford Ecosport. The subcompact CUV with a name so bland that most people forget it even exists. Sure they’ve made objectively worse cars in the past, but it’s hard for me to think of something as unknown that you could still go out and buy new today (although not next year, RIP).

2nd Gear: Now I’m no big-city business man, but selling your manufacturing plant when you’re still saying you’re going to produce a truck doesn’t exactly have the best optics.

Lots of things aren’t harmed by water that I still wouldn’t want to sit in wet.

I don’t live near one anymore, but their Mexican Gumbo used to be my go to. Basically it was that tortilla soup plus any burrito toppings you wanted in a bowl.

People sleep on Sonic (especially for breakfast), but the Supersonic Breakfast Burrito is easily one of the best fast food breakfasts you can get (and you can get it any time of day too). Eggs, cheese, sausage, tater tots, onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos all wrapped in a flour tortilla. Squirt some of their picante…

It’s been over for years now, but The Indoor Kids (Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon) was fantastic.

I was staying with my grandparents for a week when I was 7 or 8, and they took me to see Forrest Gump (thinking it was just some goofy comedy). It wasn’t traumatic for me or anything, but obviously it was a bit heavy for someone my age. Definitely raised my parents’ eyebrows when they found out.

Been struggling with this lately. It might be related to a week long family trip we just took (and just trying to get back into the normal groove), but my 3 year old seems to be having daily tantrums (hitting, screaming, throwing stuff, etc.). It’s one thing when he’s not being purposefully destructive and just…

I don’t disagree with your premise, but I believe what you’re describing in #3 is LIFO (Last in, first out). As in, the last people who were hired to the company (23 year old engineers) are the first to be shown the door.

We had a pool at one point when I was a kid, and those same homemade eardrops were the first thing to pop to mind. 

Didn’t realize they started so low. Just addressing the other poster’s question about needing money to open one.

I honestly don’t know. I only know about secured credit cards because I came out of college with no credit score and had to explore my options. I think the key is to get a credit card while you’re a student just to establish the history (they give them out a lot more freely in the student age range). I thought I was…

We haven’t really done much secret messaging, but learning about the shared note feature has revolutionized my family’s grocery list making.

Secured credit cards require the user to back them. So, if your secured credit card’s limit is $500, you have to deposit $500 in advance. Their main functionality is to help people who can’t otherwise get a credit card (due to no credit history or bad credit history) start to build a credit history. So, you could…

I spent so much time playing Project Gotham 1 and 2 on the original Xbox.  I forget what they called it, but I loved the like auto-x/style points races.  Basically you had to hit all the cone gates and get points for power-sliding/drifting.  Graphics in the game were pretty mind-blowing for the time and the soundtrack…

I’ve never been one for superfluous badging, but I’m constantly debating adding this to my TourX.

I’m lucky to have the space for both. I was always a charcoal guy (it’s what my dad has always used), so I have a 22" Weber that has served me well the last 8 or 9 years. Then we moved into a house with a natural gas stub out to the back patio, so I picked up a Weber Spirit. Having both is great. For quick week night…

This is obviously anecdotal, but I’ve been surprised to see my local Costco isn’t really too much of a deal right now compared to other gas stations in the area. Even Premium isn’t the relative steal it usually is. It’s still in the cheaper end of what other gas stations are selling it for, but I used to often save…

Yeah, that’s definitely fair. The thing about Atlanta for me, is that there’s kind of a method to the madness. Like, once you figure out what to expect with the traffic and drivers, it’s easier to navigate. I live in Nashville now, and I’m sure there’s some selective memory at play, but I honestly think I often…
