Yeah, I remember back then watching Pimp My Ride and thinking about how impractical and unreliable many of those modifications were. Add to that the fact they were always on a tight timeline and it’s a recipe for some bad outcomes.

It’s a nice entry point for inexperienced folks to try the game out without having to buy hardware. I’m sure MS will figure out a way to provide basic functionality without having to buy a joystick or pedals.

I’ve played MSFS since the 80's, back on a green screen AT&T DOS machine. I was pretty bummed after MS didn’t really follow-up FSX with anything. I remember when it came out, though, and how my computer at the time could barely run it.

My wife and I call them KenTacoHut.

I mean, you can see it from CA but the plant is actually out of state.

a mint ‘69 camaro and another 50's or 60's restored car (forget what it was) that wasn’t allowed to park in his own driveway because his HOA didn’t allow anything over 25 years old.

I have nothing to add, but I want in on the dog picture party.

I prefer the gen Y bucket. We are still skeptical and paranoid like Gen X but we also know our way around technology almost as well as a millenial.

We are gen Y now (born in late 70s-early 80s).

Drones all the way down!

Considering most folks’ opinion of the EV-buying demo, I suppose that’s valid. It will be interesting to see how it does once on sale, though. Maybe we are all underestimating the market for this type of vehicle.

I’m just glad it still has a receiver hitch.

I have to agree and I don’t even own an EV (yet).

This is just more proof that “be a decent human being” isn’t something that can be legislated.

Yeah but it was deep and heavy enough I still had to shovel my driveway. Damn it.

The city implemented a snow emergency, calling hundreds of extra folks in both for snow removal and to help passengers - passing out blankets and such. Some concessions stayed open 24h because of the storm. Popular restaurants probably did run out of food by the end of the night, though.

But then how will you know to curse winter storm JamieLynn as the moron behind you in his crossover on all-seasons careens into you at 45MPH?

You are currently inducing a split core of replies; some saw right through the puns and some were insulated from them. Hopefully they can transform their viewpoint.

Here in colorado, used to be you could take any toll road for the entire time you had temporary tags on your new car (~60 days). The license plate readers weren’t smart enough to find the paper tag hanging in the back window, so they would never bill you for those trips.

we can scan credit-card size transponders for EZ-Pass lanes as cars whizz by at 80 mph while simultaneously taking a pretty damn clear snap shot of every driver as well
