Between 2015 and 2020, 13 people have been killed during wingsuit skydiving incidents, according to CNN.

Something about the proportions of this kill the wagon vibe for me. I think it’s that the area below the beltline is too big compared to the area above it, which gives it a compact CUV look instead of a wagon.

Slow pumps are so annoying. You stand there and wonder if you should just wait for it or stop pumping, get back into your car, drive to a different pump and start the whole transaction over again. And then of course there’s always the chance that all the pumps are just slow, and you changed pumps for no reason. 

I don’t even like Teslas, but this makes me want to argue with you. 

Shocked to not see any references to Mustangs (specifically regarding Cars and Coffee and pedestrians) here.

Getting vibe flashbacks to the one WRX concept everyone lusted over like a decade ago (followed by the actual production version) and preparing for disappointment accordingly. 

I’ve dabbled with all of the options listed. Used Roku (Ultra) for the longest and no real complaints except very occasional remote disconnections. Handy phone app though for taking over controls in those cases. Still use one for our bedroom TV.

I mean, I think it’s ok to criticize both. TSA didn’t do their job but that doesn’t absolve the senator of personal responsibility. Also, I have not doubt there are some comments here saying “there is no such thing as a responsible gun owner” (I haven’t read them all), but the few I’ve read scrolling through are from…

What’s with all the snark? I feel like you could have explained your (preposterous) strategy without being a dick.

I’m late to this (and missed the earlier thread entirely), but I have a fun one.

No notes.

Looking forward to hearing from my father-in-law how Home Depot is going woke. 

Just a disclaimer: Europe’s winter tire market is a bit different from North America’s. While, for example, you can still get the Pilot Alpin 5s or the Blizzak LM005 in North America, the Michelin X ice Xi3 and Blizzak WS90 will both offer superior performance in severe winter conditions. 

The WS tires have better snow and ice performance. The LM tires are a bit more of a sport winter flavor. Both lines have been around for a while with the LMs mostly being built in Europe and the WS in Japan. (Not that being built in one versus the other is inherently better, just saying as an FYI). But yeah, for the…

Lucky you. I don’t remember my initial application in 2018 being particularly lengthy, but my renewal has been pending review for 3 months now. Doing some research it sounds like the approval times can vary wildly.

My MIL’s RX also has the haptic mouse thing. I kind of like playing around with it. Not sure I’d want it in my daily driver, but I think it’s pretty nifty.

Remote start gets filed with heated seats and heated steering wheels as “Things I didn’t think I’d care about but now love”

I’ve only seen one on the streets, but it was before the car was actually launched and it had manufacturer plates on it (I live near the Nissan North American HQ). 

Maybe they came back around the last couple years, but I had an Apple leather case for my 12, and I thought it sucked. It was super disappointing after the leather case I had for my old 8+. That one felt like real leather and developed a nice patina. The leather case for the twelve was plasticky. If they were still…

Assuming this is real, it sounds less like they’re falling for it and more like they’re being strong armed.
