I work at a large airport and occasionally I’ll see a passenger get so frustrated waiting in line they will try to bypass TSA altogether (as in, walk into the sterile area through the exits). It doesn’t end well for them.

Colorado is the best flyover state ever. As a 10-year transplant from the coast I don’t see a reason to leave anytime soon. Overcrowding, maybe.

I’ve seen those grow light controllers connected to lamp cord before - 40A running through a 15A wire. Good recipe for a fire, right there.

It’s very Civic-ish IMO. I test drove one last weekend on a lark, it really is a solid car. I wish they made a bigger one - not quite enough rear legroom for our needs. A plug-in hybrid Malibu maybe?

A friend had one of those 2-door volvos. The turbo ones are fun cars. A little too fun for a teenager I think.

I say a non-turbo 1980s mercedes diesel with a 4-speed manual transmission. 56HP in a car that weighs roughly the same as a WWII tank. That’s what I grew up on and I learned the value of momentum.

This may be an indictment of my own laziness, but I put the gift card toward service, which I do at the local dealer. It barely covered a single oil change/DSG flush. But hey, free money.

I personally will be pushing myself to swing an all-cash purchase at this point. I drive a Jetta currently. If the buyback returns anything close to pre-scandal market value, plus a couple grand of hush money and my cash budget for a new ride will be around $6-8k without really dipping into any other funding besides…

I wonder if the special plate allows for a tinted windshield.

“My wheels are wet but the footwells are bone dry! Everything’s coming up Milhouse!”

Neutral: If Ford Doesn’t Want To Make Electric Cars, What Should It Make?

Around here, most people default to 1-hour meetings scheduled on the hour and tailor their meeting content to fill that time. It makes it more difficult to pad appointments in this environment, but I often schedule half-hour blocks for myself earlier in the day if I need time to work or prepare for meetings.

From 5000k to 2700k is ‘slightly’ warmer?

...But it has an option to buy it now for $28,900...

I prefer cost per mile, as it is a better and more intuitive indicator (to me) of the cost of the vehicle. I remember that cost every time I drive anywhere I didn’t need to.

They are those things you put on your water bill because the damn water department can’t be bothered to create an online payment system.

They for sure have side and rear lightbars.

In my ‘13 DSG I drive about 90% highway and make 39 MPG real-world. I’ve done some road trips where we hit 42 but its quite difficult to hit the EPA numbers with the automatic Jetta in my experience. Far from the “you’ll be getting over 50 on the regs” spiel the dealers used to give.
