I don’t understand how people can accept Mazda’s whole “Here, we glued a cheap tablet to the dash.” layout, myself.

I really liked mine, too. Mine was a 2013, and I just needed more trunk space, but the reasons you give are all ones that I really enjoyed about it, save the active noise cancellation. I’m not sure mine had that. Another small annoyance with mine is that it was one year too old to get *all* the SiriusXM lineup. Bah.

I would have replaced my Lacrosse with a Lacrosse wagon in a goddamn heartbeat, too.

I’m curious what you don’t like about the interior on the Lacrosse? Having owned one, I really thought the interior on mine was extremely well designed and laid out, with the materials well chosen and put together.

I’ll step up and defend modern day Buick products. I owned a 2013 Lacrosse for a year before trading it in and really, really liked about 95% of the car. Mine was the “eAssist” mild hybrid type, and it got really great gas mileage for a big car with a small engine. Performance was middling, and regenerative brakes…

Not being the star doesn’t mean a character has no place in the action. It merely changes the character whose experiences we follow when the camera has to choose to show us reactions and when the script calls for more emotional weight in a scene.

The Caliber is the only car I’ve ever broken by touching it, it was such a piece of crap. (Leaned slightly against it with my hand on the rubber ridge on the roof rails, and the whole damn thing slipped off its mounting.)

Accolade beat you to this one by 28 years.

People occasionally asked me if these stickers on my first car were legit. No they were not. The duct tape was though.

Rifftrax did it and it was glorious.

If someone hates cars and needs to drive, there’re three choices in my opinion.

The middle is where the electoral votes came from, but sure, there are morons in places all over the country. This is better?

Also, you know what? I’m sick of having to pretend that Midwesterners and rust belt Republicans are actually smart people whose opinions need to be treated as equally valid and educated and capable of rational thought as the coasts. I know there are people who feel that my opinion is harmful, but take comfort in the…

Well, the smart people are spent outnumbered enough so as to not have been able to prevent the current moron in chief from getting elected by the morons. So, functionally for the rest of the country, they’re useless.

Not an entire country, just a middle part most of us prefer to fly over and avoid, full of fuckwits.

Oh my god, I wish I had money. One of those Mitsubishi vans, or a Hiace would be amazing, but I’d want to drive it too much.

An engineering job takes years of study and hard work, which many, many people simply can’t do. Not because they don’t have the aptitude, but because they have families to support and don’t have the time. I do agree that Uber drivers should start immediately looking for other employment though, anything they can get.…

For me, his delivery worked because it helped sell the absurdity of the concept itself. I don’t think MST3K would have worked at all if it were helmed by anybody else for those first years, simply because it really needed that droll, dry Joel as a way to balance the bots.

He’s not wrong, but he’s also the one making the stupid decision to put his living in the hands of people who are intentionally, steadily, and *publicly* working hard to eliminate his source of employment.

The show really helped me define my own sense of humor when I needed it the most. I was glad to be able to give back with the Kickstarter, and am looking forward to next week’s LA premiere that I have tickets to. I think NY and Chicago are having theirs now, or already did.
