I think it’s partially because trucks are driven by blue collar people, who are more likely to stop by the bar after they leave the job site and get a little too carried away.

Any Contour that is still on the road is over 20 years old, therefore very inexpensive, so it’s likely driven by people of low socio-economic status (who may be more likely to drink and drive).

When I used Turo this past December, the app required me to take up to 20 pictures inside and out of the car upon both check-in and check-out. After ending the trip, the “host” of my car finally pulled up my pictures from checking in and saw how dirty the seats and floors were, and sent me some money via Apple Pay…

When I lived in South Carolina, I could guarantee that any car with one of the optional “In God We Trust” license plates would be the most unpredictable driver, or most likely to be camped out going under the speed limit in the fast lane.

There’s a couple of things to consider when ranking them: 1. How instantly recognizable they are from afar 2. How well they capture the spirit of the state 3. How aesthetically pleasing/iconic they are 4. How good they look on cars/all car colors

While this isn’t the most memorable Curb episode, it’s the highest-quality of this season and felt like a true-to-form Curb episode of earlier seasons, and not the wacky, cartoonish outlandish stuff from the last 2 seasons. I attribute this to Robert Weide’s directing. 

She’s been controlled for the past 13 years. If she wants to talk about her experience, let her. Even if she exploits her situation for attention, she’s a free person now and can do so if she wishes.

Nissan Altimas are most likely to be driven with no headlights at night, and also most likely to not turn them on if you flash your lights at them.

I’ve heard that one, but I don’t know a single gay man that drives a Miata. Maybe they did back when they were new, but almost every Miata owner I’ve seen is a young 20-something straight guy.

A lot of those “cute” vehicles are very popular with retirees, probably because they’re easy to park in the garage and have good ground clearance. The Kia Soul has replaced the PT Cruiser for most likely to be parked in the driveway of a 55+ community.

This episode was fine, but it just didn’t capture the same feeling that earlier Curb seasons did. The early seasons has that “improv” feel to it, whereas this seemed forced and acted. Leon’s girlfriend and the Dentist both seemed more like trained actors than real people, which takes away the cringe factor that you…

If they’re like cops in other Jersey Shore towns, they’ll get a nice firm pat on the back and be back on the job in no time because “they grew up here” and “come from good local families”.

You forgot another recent taillight innovation, which was ALSO on the F-150: integrating the backup sensor within the taillight housing (because it wouldn’t fit in the tailgate or steel bumper).

The Nissan Kicks. I’ve ridden in one before and it feels like an utterly joyless vehicle with a cheap, lackluster interior and awkward exterior.

I don’t think the Aztec led to Pontiac’s ultimate demise. That was more due to cost and corner-cutting from GM. If I could delete one vehicle from Pontiac’s lineup, it would have to be the G5 - the Chevy Cobalt with a Pontiac badge on it. Cars like the G5 is why GM had no problem axing Pontiac when the chopping block…

Hot take: I don’t think the PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR were ugly cars. The main reason they were so bad was because they were either unreliable (PT Cruiser) or just cheap, cobbled-together parts-bin cars (HHR).

You described my feelings about the Juke to a T. I had a Juke Nismo as a rental for about 2 weeks while my car was at the body shop. It was a ton of fun to drive and handled very well. However, the interior was cramped and uncomfortable, and I must have filled it up with gas multiple times within that 2 week period…

A lot of people assume that the “New Jersey accent” is the silly voice that Tony and Carmela use in The Sopranos, but in reality, James Gandolfini’s real voice is the best example of a REAL Jersey accent. Edie Falco’s real voice is also a typical Jersey accent (although she’s from Long Island, which culturally isn’t…

Building upon your observation, I’ve also noticed that folks who liked Tony the most and considered him a “hero” are the same people who say “The Sopranos would never air today because woke culture wouldn’t allow it!”

Why isn’t anyone else pointing that out? I figured everyone would ask why they didn’t just drive away, but I guess making reddit comment section-tier jokes are more fun.
