When in doubt, nuke and pave.

The conga line is necessary otherwise they’ll leave a big windrow in the middle of the highway. 2-lane roads can be done with a single truck but when you’ve got multiple lanes like this it’s much more effective to run in formation.

Isn’t this essentially a Q3 with more power anyway? I don’t know why they wouldn’t choose to market this as an SQ3 in the US and make a little more money on it.

The problem is that no manufacturer will be successful by chasing the “buy new and keep for 24 years” demo.

We have these as fleet vehicles at work (short bed, single cab Silverados with the V6 and crank windows). Only problem is there’s almost no way to buy this configuration as a consumer. And if you do, be ready to get hosed on price.

As a Denver resident I remember all the shit-talking coming into that SB and then images like this after:

I figure the oil will warm up well before the coolant will.

It wasn’t always like this. A decade ago I got a nice deal on a CPO 3-year old Taco. When I got rid of it I got most of that back, too.

My mom drove an ‘80s Delta 88 with the 350 diesel when I was a kid. Agree on the driving experience. The ~35mpg economy was a nice bonus. Despite the reputation, it was actually quite reliable.

Starred for “noikling”

Same for me in my wagon. In my old car (a sedan), people were fine. Now? I am constantly getting cut off, or tailgated. People typecast the hell out of you based on your vehicle. 

Make it a plugin hybrid with ~50-60 miles of EV range, and AWD, and I’m in.

I recently traded a BMW for a VW, one of the primary reasons being to get back into a manual.

Or, if you’re still anxious and you’ve got the space, workout at home. Even with no equipment you can get a great full body workout using any number of exercise videos. Many are designed to be doable in a hotel room, so you really don’t need a lot of space. If you purchase a few basics like dumbbells and maybe a…

They also used to have spicy nuggets IIRC. And up until like last year, their breakfast burrito was pretty solid.

Some places have started implementing auto-calculators into their payment mechanisms and sometimes the defaults are weirdly low. Village Inn in particular has buttons on the credit card keypad for 12%, 15%, and 18%, I believe. Anything else and you have to hit an extra button to customize it. I wonder what effect…

I’ve never been hit myself, but I did watch someone get hit pretty good one night a few years ago. It was a pretty good hit, too. Victim got launched at least 5-6 feet forward and landed on the pavement. Before I had a chance to pull my phone out he was already up, yelled something at the car, then stumbled away into…

The provided software seems very limited. Is it locked down or can you roll your own analysis platform?

Not to mention it’s fairly easy to tune the engine for those 1000 lb-ft of torque... just turn up the boost a bit and call it a day.

But what about the people violently squeezing all the avocados?
