I prefer Priuds. The plural of praying mantis is mantids, so this follows that rule.

They were patching potholes on the bridge at the time of collapse. All of that oily tar bubbling up maybe?

NP for personal nostalgia alone. My first “grown-up” car was a ‘93 Lumina Z34 I bought used in 1995. It was perfect for a 21-year-old single dude as it had enough room, being a mid-size car, it was quite fast, and it even handled well. Just make sure the timing belt has been replaced, as the maintenance schedule calls…

I’m an Iowan. There are many, many alternate names for said store. A select few:

Yeah, that’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

This is a question that I have pondered a lot, as I drive a first-gen Scion xB, and while its reliable as the morning sun rising in the east, no car lasts forever. It depends on what’s available at the time, as well as how much money I have. Ideally, I want something that has a little more space, and at least twice…

I got a battery-powered toy Bigfoot truck that wasn’t remote-controlled- it had a lever on the top of the cab for forward and reverse- and it didn’t steer. It was so weak it could barely climb up a pile of matchsticks, and the batteries barely lasted a full day of play. It didn’t hold my interest for very long.

Keep the TourX, the 912 (since you said it was sentimental, otherwise I’d sell it and keep the 911 Turbo, because the latter is by all measure a vastly superior car), and the Neon. Sell all others. Caveat: I am not a bike person. I think they’re far too dangerous and impractical.

Caveat: to trip the stoplight, sometimes you need to creep forward to trigger the sensor pads in the pavement. At one offramp near me, in order to trip the sensors, you have to creep up almost to the intersection itself before they will trigger.

Lane discipline. That’s it. That’s the comment.

This makes way too much sense, which is why it will never be done at scale.

This is the most ridiculous part of the union’s demands. Frankly, considering how outlandish it is, it makes me think they added it just to get the automakers to move a lot, then they’ll drop it.

My guess is that Unifor was/is being much more reasonable than the UAW, like not asking for 40 hours of pay for 32 hours of work.

Maybach Exelero. I recall one headline saying “Lord Vader, your car is ready.”

Absolutely incorrect. Pensions are only as good as the company’s health from which they came. If the company goes under, so does the pension. Also, the pension dies with you. Your heirs receive nothing. If a pension ever offers you a lump-sum payout, TAKE IT! You can invest that money and make a ton more than the…

Neutral: A modern Torino Talladega, with a built Godzilla engine.

“Cocaine is a helluva drug.”

Neutral: I, too, love not having any payments. But, my ‘06 Scion xB, tho it runs like a top, is beginning to show its age. I want something with at least as much room and at least twice the power. I was looking at a midsize CUVs- Mazda CX-5/CX-50/CX-70, Chevy Blazer, Honda Passport, or Cadillac XT5. Cost- including…

Neutral: I work in a casino. No such thing as Holidays off. But we do get 8 hours of Holiday pay and time and a half for hours worked.

Central Iowan here. Even though the Des Moines metro has a population of a little over 700,000, it’s still dominated by the farm economy that surrounds it. Therefore, the majority of vehicles here are full-size domestic pickup trucks. The worst are the 3/4 ton luxury variants- you know not a single one of them has…
