Ugh. Trunk spoilers on four door sedans. Just stop.

That’s unfortunate. I was looking forward to big weird ridiculously boxy trucks.

Erin probably prioritizes securing her home more than Union Pacific prioritizes securing their rail yard.

These corporations aren’t going to just accept these losses

Yeah, my sympathies are with the people who paid (a lot—they’re not cheap) for epi pens to save their lives and didn’t get them, not with the vandals and thieves that _really_ need a hit of meth and trashed the life-saving pens. They’re not stealing food and blankets to care for their families, they’re just stealing…

I am intrigued what the reasoning is that the other shops won’t touch the car. The Prius is old enough that workshop procedures and wiring diagrams should be easy to get for any competent auto shop. The high voltage system can easily be depowered for safe working (like less than 5 minutes). Are they just so incompetent…

They still sell these—137,090 last year per the article. They’re not a C-HR competitor so much as a smaller CRV. The C-HR compromises utility for someone’s idea of funky styling and is ‘80s-economy-car-challenging slow. The HRV is about quick enough to not be dangerous and has no style. Or had. Now it’s apparently…

Expense. There wasn’t a space laid out for a clock in the main dashboard, since it was an option (and you couldn’t integrate it into the radio, like you can with a digital clock in an LCD panel), and coming up with a reasonable way to fill that round space was probably an expense BL didn’t want. You’ll note it’s in a…

Unfortunately, some entries in your dictionary may end up steering you in the wrong direction. Here are some potential edits:

If I have to replace it entirely, why isn’t it round?

From the technician -

1. If shit’s dripping under the car, find out what it is, and where the HELL it is coming from. Granted, every car drips some harmless water from the HVAC system. But water from the HVAC doesn’t stain your driveway, and isn’t some color.

2. People! Watch your god damn gauges and lights! Trust and…

It was relatively cheap, it looked “fun”, and it wears a Toyota badge. That’s enough to convince an awful lot of people to hand over their money.

The only thing that gives me pause is parts availability. That is probably not an issue for an F-series truck for a long time, but I’ve also owned a Cortina Mark II, where it definitely was an issue.

It is insane that we think $3 billion over 20 years for a service as essential the Postal System is somehow a lot of spending.

FIFY

The pay it forward thing has always been the dumbest thing imaginable. It’s performative charity for people who don’t need it. Want to feel good? Donate time or money to an actual cause. Or, as this article wisely suggests, tip the workers.

I don’t get the hate for that car. I mean, I guess it should have been a full hatchback, but it’s not THAT bad.

Particularly when it looks suspiciously like a GTV 6 on steroids,

This goes beyond the conduct that you can waive. Typically it has to be related to the activity in question. Getting blasted with water while a ski lift isn’t really the type of risk you expect from skiing. 

Jesus, that sounds like a fast track to hypothermic shock. They are lucky to be alive, that is the sort of shit that literally [not figuratively] gives people cardiac arrests. I hope the resort is comping their medical bills.
