I’m not willing to hitch functioning society to Uber. A low income person would be completely fucked by that. Hell, a middle income person who doesn’t live nearby to work would similarly be fucked.

I want to agree with you, but society is designed like driving is a right. We don’t have public transport designed in a way to support it. Like, the nearest bus pickup is several miles from here.

Yes on the LFA. Went to a Lexus event years ago at Sears Point, and the LFA sounded amazing. Closest I’ll get to an F1 car.

The GMA T.50 does sound glorious, but the LFA just has a resonance that the GMA lacks. You can’t beat that Yamaha-tuned exhaust sound. 

You haven’t fastened your safety bat-belt.

Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed!

Particularly and specifically Texans are not better than this.

So you create a culture of fear and distrust. Ensure every loony is armed to the teeth. Create a series of regulations that absolves said loonies from the consequences of shooting first and asking questions later if they feel “threatened.” Then you’re suprises that the loonies see everyone else as others?

We just are so much better than this.

Some residents have taken to parking their trucks in a pay lot over half a mile from the neighborhood,

Northern Indiana is among the worst places to drive through. It’s some real “The day after the bombs fell” type shit. Don’t stop for anything other than an emergency. There’s nothing worth seeing unless you have a hard-on for superfund sites. And fuck everything about I-65. It’s as straight, flat and boring as…

This only makes sense if this person’s only experience with Buc-ee’s coincided with the buses of the Allen, Texas, high school marching band (700-1,000, depending on whether it’s their halftime or competition show) stopping at the same Buc-ee’s at the same time.

It was pretty clear from the contributions that the worst place to stop is anywhere in the south, period. Just stay away.

Agree with NW Indy (and let’s just be honest, the entire state) having a 3rd world country feel to it.

On the other hand, we finally have an answer to the question, “What if EA made cars?” Not that anyone ever thought to ask it, but hey, now we know.

My tonneau cover takes a whole 10 seconds to roll out of the way and secure. It gives me the best of both worlds: a large protected storage area and an open infinitely tall storage area.

I know.

Vans are AWESOME.  Panel vans, conversion vans, minivans....  Vans are great. As far as trades not using pickup trucks, the main exception I can think of for that is landscapers and lawncare providers. A lot of them use pickup trucks, and use them hard. But then, their work happens out in the elements, so getting…

I think that there were about 0 people in the British Empire that feared their formal colony in the mid-1800s. It would be like the current US being at all concerned about what is happening in New Zealand.
