Isn’t higher priced = expensive by default? And “value” is a relative term. Value for some could mean a heated seat, or A/C; for others, it’s bare-bones safety features, a steering wheel and three pedals. It really depends on what people want to have and need to have in their vehicles, and how much they’re willing to…

New vehicles are definitely more expensive. For example, a base-model Civic DX in early 2000s was around $15,000. Same model today will cost you close to $20,000 (and that’s without all the taxes added up). That’s because even base models are fitted with features that older cars didn’t have, such as infotainment…

If I didn’t have to move, I would’ve likely still had my 2011 Civic. I miss that thing. Reliable and zippy (it was just a DX model). Gave it to my mom. Now I putter around in an ‘18 Outback, which I intend to keep for many years, as I have no intention to buy a new car for a very long time.

DOLORIS!

Not only is “he” happier, but is faster, more responsive and even, more fuel efficient! First patch of dirt and he displays his frustration with occasional gearbox jerks, essentially translating to “wash that filth off me, you fucking fuck.”

If my car could talk, it would call me a cheap and ignorant fuck for not giving it a wash since December. I plan to warm up this relationship with an impromptu wash soon...

The Raptor didn’t get a V8. The FUCKING RAPTOR. Literally the embodiment of male insecurity on wheels and even that fucker didn’t get a V8.

I bought my 2018 Outback with 2,200 km on it, so pretty much brand new (it was a dealership shuttle initially) - three weeks after my purchase, the centre console started going all fucky (screen turning off, freezing) so I took it in. I haven’t had any issues since, but I can’t say I don’t worry about how well the…

I remember this one. It was also highly documented. Disturbed me to my core that in truth, a pilot can just ram a whole jet into the ground because he’s just done with this life - and everybody else’s. 

And a shitty job market that pays so shit that you accumulate more debt just to survive. What a time to fucking be alive.

$19 billion for self-driving cars eh? Seems like a lot for an idea that’s taken more than a decade to develop, and will take decades more to get to a reliable state. Keep developing it, sure, but why not invest more in alternative fuels, or EV technology, or stuff we badly need right now?

Or UFF - Unidentified Flying Fuckery

This. I’m also 30 and share in your sentiment. Seems like during the 50s, 60s and 70s we as a civilization were largely looking at the stars; Apollo, the Space Shuttle program, all this was developed in only a few years; and all the sci-fi pop culture that came out during that time reflected this optimism that by the…

Pretty much sums up how I feel about this. Maybe they’ve been watching us for even longer than we even realize, and the reason why we haven’t made contact is because they don’t fucking care to say hi; we depict aliens in movies like they want to come here and fuck us up for our resources, but what if they simply don’t…

I totally agree. Now that you mention it, it looks like it’ll shit out a mini C5 out its ass. 

That I can agree with too. I guess it just depends on what one’s definition of “powerful” is. To me, it should have enough power to get out of its own way faster than people perceive it to be (i.e, again, massive boats like the Lincoln and the Brooklands). 

Absofuckinglutely! 

It’s gonna be one ugly-ass baby

It’s perfect, really. It’s a very accurate depiction of my entire week last week.

This is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen all week. I’ll be sure to pass this along and scar more minds with its imagery.
