“You can’t manage people properly without the human element” - All the middle managers who are terrified they might need to get real jobs now that we’ve proven their cushy jobs are mostly useless.

Honestly, the 3rd row is the best part. Mostly because it can be removed/folded and give you an actual decent-sized trunk.

I’ve never even heard of these before! Thank you for giving me a rabbit hole to fall down. :)

Fold the third row and pretend it’s not there. 

I would think the *owners* of the fancy cars would be less than thrilled about having them parked on the street. If I knew a shop was doing that with my car I wouldn’t be taking my car there.

“Still, many economists agree Germany could wean itself off Russian gas if it really wanted to.”

Thank you for keeping the tradition alive.

I’m a massive tankie

The United States never, not for one minute of the pandemic, had any sweeping federal mandates. There’s nothing to even protest in D.C.

Since Torch is Audi 5000, I think someone needs to offer up a weirdo example. Might I tempt her with a car that revolutionized comfort? Something built to handle post war France’s ruined roads with ease? Yes, the answer is a Citroen DS. This one comes well under her price cap, leaving plenty of room to stock up on…

The oligarchs are bad people, full stop.

I love that F1 is hell-bent on having events in every country in the world that’s currently actively involved in offensive war or knee-deep in proxy stuff. Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia, Saudi. Texas I guess lol

Great job

Fuel price in todays dollars

Why are we comparing gas prices to a year ago, when demand was still wildly depressed by the pandemic? Saying they are up a dollar from a time off unnaturally low demand feels more than a tad disingenuous. We are still far below what was the norm for a lot of the past 15 years or so, inflation adjusted.

they didnt say noone should own cars twat. they said cars in city centers suck and our cities were designed and planned to accout for horse and buggies not automobiles. we just took those templates for early cities and used them for everything even tho they didnt work anymore. you can get around most major cities…

What the fuck is this? Someone who thinks discussion of auto bans in the densest parts of the biggest cities is about Hartford?

First off, nobody gives a fuck about Hartford. Your tiny-ass city doesn’t even register for this kind of discussion. Second, none of these car bans are actually city-wide car bans. They’re either time or area-limited to target the dense urban areas where cars cause more problems than they solve.

This is the hot take I was waiting for. How did people get around before widespread private vehicle ownership? They walked, rode bikes, and used public transport. You bet your ass that public transport gets a whole lot better when everyone relies on it.

There is no reality in which i could commute to a job, or get to a grocery store, without a car going into the city. Public transportation is not only garbage, its totally impossible to do grocery shopping for a family via a bus, or to get to work on time when there isn’t a stop within miles.
