Lots of performance motors, but let’s be honest here. The most legendary engine of all time is probably the Toyota 5S-FE. The boring little ~130HP 2.2L 4-Cylinder fitted to tens of millions of Toyota Camrys.

Are you really going to make your vehicle choices based on a hypothetical collision with a 4000+ lb. SUV? “Oh yeah, I’m going to drive some enormous gas hog so that in the very unlikely event I have a crash, I won’t be hurt any more than the other guy.” We love our Chevy Sonic (34.5 MPG) and Honda Fit (40+ MPG)

With the states “opening up” we are going to need more refrigerated trailers very soon.

None of this makes any sense.

I think “stupid” should be replaced with “emotional.”

Your choice when buying an EV is “support Elon” or “support companies making tons of unacceptably high-emission cars”. I went with the Bolt on price, but let’s not pretend other car companies are perfect actors either.

Right? The irony of “This is not your father’s Oldsmobile” was palpable. My fathers Oldsmobile(s) were sweet. A 2004 Alero deserved to die.

This prompted me to load up the Nissan website, where one of the info boxes had this gem:

This implies parents are experts. I'd rate making humans as one of my easier accomplishments (being male helps with that). 

LOP at a real farmer moving produce with a light duty pickups. 300 round trips with an open bed later and his produce has all rotted.

Vans are more practical for pretty much everything you just mentioned.

Hey, it does a special magic trick too.

Imagine the sequence of events that leads to that life choice. 

Let me be clear; I am 100% in support of you following your career aspirations. I just will miss seeing you serve dinner on a hubcap, shit on male crybabies, and just all you write, photograph, and host.

It’s not the norm but it’s the behavior of responsible (and fortunate, but mostly fiscally responsible) people like you and me.

It is cool, but I have a folding table from Costco that was like $50 and it fits in my Jeep, Subaru, or Honda with ease and folds out to 6 feet.

If I bought one from a car dealer it would be $500 and only fit that one car while generally not being as good as my Costco table.

Those who are only concerned about the name on the back of the jersey instead of the name on the front of it are absolutely detestable.

Slight difference between modifying your car for performance and modifying it to intentionally pollute. Like the difference between an athlete wearing tight spandex to run faster and a guy flashing kids in a trenchcoat. In both examples, my child self becomes a bit more familiar with the shape of adult male genitalia,

Consider that despite the money spent, the result is just another ton-and-half of metal and plastic. They may cost a hundred times more than some other car, but that value is just a theoretical agreement between humans. In terms of labor cost and resource utilization, an F40 is not much different from a 1988 Ford

If there was a problem during landing, which airport/city would you prefer to crash at: Montreal or Saguenay?
