It’s all such a mess. In Tennessee weed is illegal. But I can drive five minutes down the street and go to a head shop that sells hemp derived delta-9 that has roughly the same effect. Still, pretty sure if a cop had a reason to search me and found that delta-9 on my person, I’d be in trouble.

I would have rather gone the Bluesky route, but I feel like Meta dropping Threads when they did was pretty savvy. I think it could potentially derail Bluesky by allowing everyone who is still waiting on an invite (which seems like a lot of people) to get settled in over at Threads. I don’t love it, but after deleting

Getting so blitzed before a flight for a work trip that you aren’t allowed to board is rough. You’re a good person for staying with her, but I hope she considered getting some help after that.

I honestly didn’t realize they were.  I mean, at least not without a Waymo employee sitting in the driver seat.  Yikes.

Calories don’t count at the airport.

I doubt this is where the author’s head was at, but in my ownership, I’ve encountered some Buick diehards that think the TourX isn’t big enough since it can’t carry a 4x8' sheet of plywood (which apparently the old Buick Roadmaster could do).  The hatch seems pretty cavernous to me though!

This my thought, it’s all essentially already baked into their budget.

Plenty of people declad them. The side plastic is easy to remove. The tricky part are the front and rear bumpers since it’s integrated into the design. Some people use the GS bumper to great effect or they just go full Opel.  Too much of an expense/hassle for my tastes, but they do look good. 

I’ve had a number of gas pump and parking lot conversations asking what kind of car I drive.

There was a time in the early ‘00s where I was looking for a new (to me) car. I knew I wanted something sporty and was intrigued buy what I had heard about BMW 3 series (still, didn’t have the means or desire to buy a brand new one). So, I went to the local BMW dealership to see what kind of used options they had. The

My answer might be different if I was younger, but if I was in the market, I’d absolutely pay the premium for the Type S over the Type R.

There are a couple of these I don’t disagree with, but for most of them, I feel like this is just another piece of evidence in the case for not relying on Consumer Reports for anything automotive related.

But I mean, and excuse my ignorance here, hasn’t the GX always just been a rebadged Prado?  Why is this rebadged Toyota less fitting of the “GX” name than previous generations?

Holy shit.  As the father of kids that are 4 and 1, that 13 and 9 year old are absolute heroes. 

Granted, I’m not super familiar with how the RCR giveaways, but isn’t it just “buy something and be entered to win”? Are we taking issue with raffles now?

I’ve never driven a Bangle-era BMW (and don’t even remember what car I have experienced this on), but the description of the rubberized surfaces that get tacky after a few years is still VERY familiar.  I actually think, in my case, it’s from old, crappy office chairs.

No yoke? /s

I thankfully have a ground floor laundry room now, but adding brighter lights to my old house’s basement laundry area was such a game changer.  Helped limit the creepiness factor substantially, and made spot treating stains and such much easier. 

Not sure if the 1969 Charger commenter (can’t remember their exact handle) is still around these parts, but I’m reflexively bracing for their response to the comment that the Mustang is the only good part of Bullitt.

Earnest question (that I’m sure I could find with Google, but I feel like asking here): what is the case FOR wheel bolts? I know BMW often uses them too (and I’m assuming others). They make mounting a wheel a bit more challenging, but surely there are some positives too them, right?
