I wish the Metris was more affordable. I’d get that over a minivan if the prices were less. It’s not as luxurious as the higher trim Odeyssy, but I don’t care. The Metris is one damn good looking van.

If I was a used sales car lot, I cannot ethically sell Range Rovers over 100k miles, and I have loose morals.

So the designers just copied and pasted the front fascia of the SH Subaru Forester and called it a day?

My grandma got me a hooker and an 8-ball. She’s the awesomest grandma ever.

The Cruze hatch isn’t all that bad looking. Lose the chrome bits and make stick shift available across all trims, and it would be a decent car.

I’ve driven a Cavalier once. That was one time too many.

That’s an expensive lighter.

Thye’re full of hot air. They want to think they’re great, and they may be great for now, but that won’t last. Manufacturing-based economic boom have a very short shelf life. Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Thailand are all lining up for their next turn. After this round of boost, China will have nothing left. It’s already…

They do. You don’t see me rah-rahing for Americans, do you?

Nope. Wrong. II have dealt with the Chinese, and being Chinese myself, I probably know about this subject a bit better than you. Japan was neevr arrogant, at least not after WWII. They achieve success through hard work, strict quality control, and setting expectations high. I have nothing but respect for the Japanese…

Yea, they are. Prosperity in the past 15 years has made them into a bunch arrogant pricks that peg far higher on the asshole scale than Americans a decade ago. They think they are on the cutting edge, with a country full of Steve Jobs and Zuckerbergs, but all they do is copy, and most of the time they do a shitty job…

It should be strictly enforced, you’re right. I would go as far as saying that unless it’s a walking cane, or crutches, no one gets to carry on odd-shaped items. Guitars, strollers, and such should be gate-checked.

A company name that is pronounced “LEAK-co?”

Fellow road warrior here. I agree with you. It would reduce the amount of on-board cargo, if you give people a choice to check in their shit, and offer significantly better odds that their shit will show up on time when they land. There’s a huge distrust between customers and airlines. Quite frankily I don’t blame…

Right, and that’s the problem. It should be free, with no strings attached. Period. The airlines can afford to do this without cutting into too much of their already bloated profit margin. Yes, I know for a fact that airlines make money, lots of it, as they have virtually eliminated all fair competition with- just the…

That is just awesome!

How about making first bag free, and start charging on the second bag? Happy compromise there. No fees, no punishment. This is a decent expectation from everyone who travels. If you are traveling with more than one bag, then you are on your own, and should factor in that into the cost of travel. By making the first…

Or The big oil companies. Basically anything is an excuse for oil prices to go up now...A storm, heat wave, deadlock in the Congress, some gorilla sneezed during full moon, etc.

FT-4x could be a code name for another Prius variant. The Prius truck. Fwd, 92hp, and a payload of 200lbs, but dead reliable.

All I know is electricity (or utilities in general) needs to be federally regulated before they let scumbag corporations take over the teeing on transportation all use as well. Imagine if there’s a cartel for electricity, which is not out of the realm of possibility.
