Every ritual, like the crew member pulling the parachute pins and showing them to the drive, is there for a reason. It sure would have been interesting to be there on the day before they started doing that.

All I really want to know: Does the B stand for Boner? Because it gives me one.

I’ll watch an autonomous car race, for the novelty. After that, I’ll take some serious shit (like this) to get me to tune in again.

NASCAR at Daytona. You weren’t expecting anything else, right?

Right. All those custom chips can be made in my EZ Bake oven.

If it was a power steering pump, a window regulator or some other mechanical part, I’d agree with you. But it’s not. It’s electronic. And because it’s electronic, it won’t last forever, and won’t be rebuildable like an alternator.

None of the things you mentioned were useful to me in any way, with the possible exception of a maintenance log. If it’s very complex, or tied into the other systems of the car, I’ll see it as a reason to not buy the car, rather than an incentive.

“I’m usually the interrupter,”

Yes. Learn to stop before all of your co-workers learn to hate you.

^^ This. Exactly.

Honestly, if if I was buying a boring car just for commuting, it would probably be an off-lease Leaf or 500e. $5,000 at auction. $10,000 on CL and there’s free charging at most places I’d work. HOV lanes for the win.

Whatever. Buh bye.

I remember getting in one and realizing that I couldn’t get a bag of groceries behind the seat.

I don’t know the price, but for a commuter car, the Cruz is probably fine. But if I’m commuting, it’s going to get a slushbox - there’s no way my left knee can handle an hour of stop & go with a clutch every day.

Actually, that’s how it used to be.

Whoops. Your comment me no sense to me, as I didn’t call anybody a Nazi. Then I realized that I replied to your comment to somebody else, and you replied to my misplaced comment. Sorry!

White only.

“The Greatest Commandment is for all human beings, not just for the followers of Jesus, which must include Jews and Muslims, for Jesus was a Rabbi and is celebrated in the Qur’an.”

I am not the reason the country is filled with hateful people. I am all about peace and tranquility.

You fucking moron.
