Sabrina is Audrey Hepburn’s best movie and belongs on any short list.

I start with a word with three common vowels and two common consonants, radio, cameo canoe.

On steel rims! You can pound out the dents with a sledgehammer. 

As someone who has loaded entire PAs into and out of a variety of vehicles, I can make a full throated endorsement for the Honda Odyssey. Leave the middle seats at home, fold down the rear and you have a massive cargo area with sliding door access from both sides and hatch access to the rear.

If you see an elephant for sale for a dollar it is a good deal, if you need an elephant and have a dollar. Otherwise, not so much.

I would install a mounting point into the floor of your garage and use a winch to do a controlled descent of your driveway with the car on the four wheel dollies.

The Curt 13305.  It drags a little on a few driveways but no worries other than that. 

I love my S90. I test drove the XC90 and it felt top heavy in comparison. I threw a trailer hitch on the back and bought a cargo carrier for the rare occasions I need to put something on the back that doesn’t fit in the trunk and don’t miss the SUV vibe at all. 

I recently added a pair of frog togs rain pants to the emergency items in my trunk. They will keep you dry I'm rain or snow and add another layer to keep your lower body warm. 

Before I would buy a 20 years old land rover I would drop $30,000 into resto modding his current Ram and keep another $30,000 to fix what breaks over the next 10 years. 

Air Conditioning as a service. Anything under 99 degrees you are required to pay for since it is just for comfort. 

The correct answer to the question how do you know when your phone might be recording you is whenever it is close enough to hear you, or can connect to something that hears you.

Volvo makes you pay $200 a year for the use of the app that communicates with the car which I kind of get, but they also charge for software updates that are done during regular service interval service. The update is to fix stuff that sucked the first time you wrote it. Why do you feel entitled to payment for fixing

There are plenty of karts that could have kept up with traffic. A failure of imagination to not go full send on the stupid.

Please do something about the MSI 2021 Holiday sales ad that takes over half the screen on my phone and won’t go away no matter what I do. Your readers don’t deserve that.

It is a joy to read articles on your site with the top half of the screen completely blocked by a an ad that won’t go away no matter where you click on the screen. My keyboard covers the bottom half of the screen so typing in a comment is a special experience too.

Seems like a underage girl pimping felon sex trafficker out on bail for other felonies should be able to flee from a knife fight without the added stress of police following you. Things need to change. 

Make a pivot to pumpkin custard in ramekins in the instant pot pressure cooker. Frees up the oven and they can be made early in the morning still leaving time to use the pressure cooker for a side dish. 

The gun store is going to ask you for your driver's license or passport so in effect they also require a certified copy of your birth certificate. Logic. 

I went with the Volvo sedan instead of the wagon. You can find an S90 for the same price as a V70 and the extra level of swanky is well worth it. Throw an aftermarket trailer hitch receiver for hauling a bike rack or a cargo carrier and you get that extra capacity just when you need it.
