didn’t they kill off the 300 for a while, too?

Second, the 300 is a storied nameplate. Keep it.

Decades are not defined nor counted the same way that (number purists) count centuries and millennia. A traditionally described decade does in fact start on “year zero” and end on “year 9" since from the get go it is an arbitrary start/stop point. “A” decade is any ten year period regardless of calendrical labeling,…

Every commerce system wants me to use non-disposable straws ... and while the concept makes sense, I can’t do it. Any opaque straw is fertile ground for all kinds of nastiness to grow in, especially mold. You can’t simply toss it in the dishwasher as there’s no way to be sure that the insides will be cleansed at all.…

Zackly ... a previous post on the CL subject also made some strange claim about folk bailing on CL and jumping into Facebook’s new selling space as somehow being cleaner/better ... and I recently spent a few minutes on FB since I was in the market for a used car for my son, and it was pure unadulterated shyte.

I’m shocked that a dude with a BAC close to .3 could even get himself to his vehicle and operate it

there are plenty of things cities could require or implement to create a safer riding experience, such as

I understand what you are saying, however bear in mind that “prejudice” simply means “pre judge” meaning making a decision without evidence. By using a generalization, you are automatically pre-judging some elements since you haven’t polled (for this example) every woman so you cannot say that the statement “women…

4th Gear: the so-called “car sharing” was ALWAYS DOA since it never involved sharing a car, just like how Uber never involved sharing a ride. Uber is now and has always been nothing more than a taxi service. ZipCar, Car2Go, and all the others were nothing more than short-term car rental. Car rental as a business had…

I remember reading about ekranoplans years ago, and one of the issues that was raised was that they are only suitable for use on very calm seas which is why the Caspian was an excellent use case for them, but they won’t work as actual ocean traffic (haven’t got sufficient range) and any bad weather effectively grounds…

For example: The inefficiency of the Taycan can’t ALL be because of weight, can it?

not saying that this isn’t misogyny,

They Italian. What do you expect? The misogyny is rooted in the culture.

Given all other factors being equal, would I buy product X over product Y due to the USB port? Hmmm ... perhaps. But there is no case I personally know of or really can conceive of where that’s an actual choice you have as a consumer.

As for the “existential crisis”: I think the root cause of that is simply arrogance. To believe that humans are so special that nothing can ever be as good as us, or better, is just ego.

Actually the sloped toilet may make crap breaks longer ... you ever try shitting with your legs sticking out in front of you? You need your legs bent (at the hip primarily, but there will be bending at the knee for stability in any case) in order to shit effectively, and the tighter the angle between thigh & torso the…

On a tangential note ... this is not the first occurance of ‘air freshener car bomb’ in Britain. I saw this story on BBC just yesterday and they linked to at least 2 other previous stories of cars blowing up due to air fresheners.

Maybe it is okay for a lightweight electric bike to go 20mph on a bike path, then turn onto a 35mph street and continue at a faster pace.

need space for their real life, like hauling the family around that would easily fit into any small sedan

... think that building suburbs around car usage ... are dumb <snip> if most daily drivers cars were to be replaced by good urban planning, efficient mass transit systems and effective ride sharing solutions ...
