This comment is a couple above yours (in my view), but since I don’t know if there’s a different sorting order per person, I’m going to just link you to this, rather than try to take credit for their words. https://jalopnik.com/1829933607

The tl;dr: diversity brings new perspective, which brings new insights which you

Don’t intend to, but hey, I had to validate your comment, since you took the time to write it. :) 

You do know that the skew of teachers being female is something that’s only happened recently, right? The mix of teachers gender-wise was closer to 50-50 for several decades, but when they started to remove a lot of the perks teachers got for doing their jobs, it ceased to be readily profitable, and thus became “women’

I wish you were wrong, but I fear you’re right. 

While Jalopnik does have two excellent female staffers,* this whole industry lacks women. Maybe you aren’t tired of it yet, but I am actually massively bored with the same tried-and-true repetition of white guys doing things. At this point, that is a PACKED field. You could take the exact formula of Top Gear, swap in

As someone living in a house with wood paneling, who’s gearing up to remove the shag carpet that remains, I have to say: no. No, there isn’t. There isn’t a shortage of disco, jingles, faux wood, shag carpet, or leisure suits. Any number higher than 0.0 counts as excess.

The photo at the top looks like some kind of poster for (yet another) reboot of the Transporter franchise, where it’s now a team of drivers, instead of just one.

Am I the only one going to point out that this thing is hideous, or did you all just instinctively note that, and move on to discussing the insults raised against the Daytona?

and, what? The celebrations of the 50's and 60's automotive lifestyles don’t glaze over the rampant racism prominent in those eras? Miss me with your generational bullshit. I might have rose-tinted glasses for the era, but at least I’m not pissing on someone else’s lawn because they enjoy the grass.

I don’t. Or, if I do, I just pay for the door dings. 

Then why bother to own a nice car? I mean, my Mercedes is a big car (450SE), so I don’t drive it to places I know have tight parking spaces, but otherwise I’ll drive it anywhere/everywhere.

I edited the post to point out that I wasn’t calling the Subaru SVX common, but an example of bizarre dashboards... but hey, keep that anger going. That’s great for you. I’d recommend re-reading the second paragraph in that post, assuming you read that far. :) 

I grew up in the 90's (like many Millennials), and I love the boxy shapes and bizarre dashboards (i.e: Subuaru SVX) which were common then. What era did you grow up? I bet there’s some cars you’ve an irrational love for that are, for all intents and purposes, shitty cars.

And, you know what? Even if I’m right? I won’t

I had forgotten about that diagram. A pox on you for the reminder.

How would you know it was a murder, and not just someone who got buried while sitting in the back seat, and never dug out?

Meet and Greet in the Seattle area? I’ll buy the first round, provided it’s somewhere that has parking that isn’t Hellish (read: not downtown Seattle).

Have you successfully ordered a vehicle from a dealership (and I don’t mean a Ferrari, or super-high-trim, I mean just a customized version of a regular car: uncommon paint, weird mix of options, etc.)? I attempted to do so when buying my current DD (the first and last vehicle I’ll ever buy new), and at first they

Yeah, there’s surplus fighters out there from the 60's and 70's, but I suspect parts are hard to come by... plus I just love the idea of flying a fairly modern (even if demilled) fighter jet.

The real answer, the true answer? A diesel Pajero. Yeah, trucks are great, but this thing will be super fuel efficient, have a great turning radius, and $1500 will buy you a nice trailer to tow behind it for anything you need to haul.

Well, that’s kind of the con: the only way they can make enough to sell them is they can get some variety of mainstream appeal. I’ve a friend who’s wheelchair bound and is SUPER happy that snuggies became a thing, because prior to that? It was difficult to find wheelchair blankets that weren’t trash, or expensive (or
