“I just wish it had a chrome bumper”
I do not think any of these would look better with chrome, and I am a middle-aged white guy.

“And with the current off-road fad, Nissan went for it with the Frontier Pro-4X”
Nissan has had P4X in 2009. It was the Nismo trim before that.
Xterras had trims called “Off-Road” before they…

“Yes, kick, because Nissan still employs foot-operated parking brakes in both of its pickups. That might be somewhat charming if it didn’t reflect how dated they feel relative to the competition.”

Or, you know, something that works great maybe doesn’t need changing.  Everyone drools over how great Toyota is, but…

That Z has me scouring Facespace marketplace. Goodbye, productivity!

Yes, I do.
Please describe where I said otherwise.

“I’m not sure why the headline uses Bezos as the subject....”
You did note the author of this blog post, didn’t you?  It will make more sense then.

Got your flamesuit on?  You are about to be in for a ride.

I do not see that.
Neither Erin nor I mentioned the hit-and-run.
Just about everyone else did.
I took issue with “mowed down a cyclist.” I don’t think it represents what happened. I Miss Splinter thinks it does.
I think the people hurt and killed by the driver in Charlottesville were “mowed down”, if that helps explain…

“Nobody said she did. But she did leave the scene afterwards, which is illegal.”
Nobody is disputing this, so I don’t know why people keep saying it.

I have had a few conversations here with people that are just talking and getting each other’s point of view. There are also more than a few posts that vehemently agree…

Fair enough.

Okay.
Did I say otherwise?

Swear words? Nice.
We won’t see the same on this. I don’t agree that it “calls out a driver for a hit & run” when it says “...who mowed down...”.
I posit that “mowed down” implies intent and malice. I do not believe that she planned to hit him.
So, once more for the people in the back:
“If the cyclist had obeyed traffic…

Correct.
We are vehemently agreeing with each other.

It does make a difference; you are less likely to be able to drive off.

“hit and run” had no part in either Erin or my headline (headline suggestion, in my case).
What is your point, salient to my post?

Do you realize that, in your quote of my response to Garland, you don’t actually refute me?
Do you realize that I never said the headline wasn’t accurate?

So, if the article is about a person that has moving violations and parking tickets getting another one because a cyclist couldn’t be bothered to stop at a stoplight,…

I Miss Splinter: Never said you shouldn’t; I just made an equally valid headline.

Garland: The author gave him a mini-pass in the one-sided headline designed to rile anger and get you to click.

Psychodog: Thank you

Blockheads: Correct

Ad_absurdum_per_aspera: Okay

“Councilwoman who hit cyclist that failed yield right of way at a stoplight, didn’t stop after the accident, and has other traffic violations”
Cyclists don’t get a pass because they are cyclists.

Agreed. I don’t know what Baltimore streets look like, but if they are a slightly worse version of Richmond streets, then this guy gets it.
My wife’s low-profile tires on her Mustang leave me peeing blood.
My 35's make me think, “Oh, this road kind of sucks, but I won’t take expensive damage just for using it”

So... CVT.
Did not remember that. I was working at a Nissan dealership when these came out, and I distinctly remember a detuned VQ and an auto. Am I going insane.

I do remember it was a taller Maxima in the upper trims, and was actually nice to drive.

Not only does username check out, but...
Darn...
That photo is... sad?  I definitely had some feels whilst seeing the gaping disparity betwixt the two of them....
