My kids love them.

Question: Did you have an opportunity to actually remove the doors from the Bronco? I read in early specs that they were about 10 lbs heavier than jeep’s. I have a wrangler unlimited, and they’re pretty unwieldy already... But I could see Ford making up for that extra weight with easier installation.

Love shower beers, but don’t get to enjoy them that much anymore (kids, work, most of my showers are in the morning... Which would make the shower beer a bit problematic).  On the rare occasion I take a tub though, I'll usually bring a couple cans in with me.  And while I like my crafts, shower/tub beers gotta be…

This has been so refreshing, particularly at many restaurants around me. I can’t count the number of places that have 50-100+ things on the menu, but seem to use the same four descriptors for every dish.  Pictures really help when it comes to ordering new dishes and stepping out of my comfort zone.

With you there on the ventilated seats. I live in Chicago and our winters, and I still hate heated seats. They’re too hot, even on below zero days.

I don’t know if it’s the best, but I totally wanted some automotive journalist/YouTuber to track down the cheapest, base-est C8 Corvette and review it. Chevy was touting that $59,995 starting price... But how many of those actually exist? Seems like most were optioned to the hilt; and after dealer markups, many…

I was wondering the exact same thing. I don’t remember it having an odometer, but I’m not sure. If I was a gambling man, I’d wager 1,000 to 1,500 miles.

Toyota dealer by me has a stock one on the showroom floor. Display only, not for sale (but who’s kidding, everything’s for sale).

Yeah, I dig the qr codes for menus. Especially since I like keeping a menu throughout the meal to switch up drinks. Menus tend to take up a lot of precious real estate on the table. QR is much more convenient.

Agreed. One other pet peeve I have about modern-car-complainers is the constant whining about a lack of buttons in cars. Now don’t get me wrong, I actually prefer physical buttons/switches/dials too.

Was gonna note that anyone who's removing an airbag with just a screwdriver is taking his life into his own hands.  I don't know how it works on EVs... But from what i understand, disconnecting the battery in ICEs is a critical safety step.

Posted this in another recent jalopnik post, but it bears repeating:

So much of that scene is just absurdist comedic perfection.  “Flores para para los muertos” always gets me too.

How do you think red light cameras* work? Person speeds/runs red light. Robot takes a picture and sends ticket to the speeder. Speeder receives ticket and: (a) pays it; (b) contests it in court; or (c) doesn’t pay and then has to pay late fees, etc.

Thanks, it’s been fun! And my very unscientific poorly thought out list of greatest TV finales:

I’ve got a similar memory of seeing Road Trip with my grandmother, but I was 25 at the time. She seemed to really like it.

My wife and I just bought a new car: 2022 Hyundai Tuscon Limited (I know, “great timing.” But we’ve been a one car family for about 5 years; and professional/familial responsibilities meant we had to dip our toe into one of the worst markets in years).

Can’t believe that I’m doing any Jenny McCarthy defense. Fuck her and her anti-vax quasi science bullshit. That said, she’s really not famous just for taking off her clothes (or not just famous for that). Thousands of women got naked for the pages of Playboy, Penthouse, etc. How many of them became household names…

One of the coolest woman I ever met on a plane: southwest flight, no seat assignments; flight was 95% full; she has the window and the aisle, and there was that precious empty middle seat. As the plane filled up and risked our precious spare room, she just said “pretend like you know me and let’s start having a loud…

No first hand experience, but a couple thoughts:
