Counterpoint... The Fenders on U-Haul trailers are too high. Most people don’t know they are actually hinged so you can swing them down and get your doors open to get in/out of your car when it is loaded.

I was shot through my right forearm about 30 years ago. Shifting gears hurts after a while so I buy automatic transmission cars. I guess that’s an excuse but it wasn’t my wife who shot me so am I good?

Good take.

I’ll write a follow-up: Stop Blaming Your Traffic-Filled Commute and Just Admit You Want an Automatic.

Driving a stick in traffic is not a big deal if you’re not an old-timer.

Thank you for your incredibly condescending reply! I’m sure it is a truly incomprehensible concept, but we both have excellent credit, are in the process of signing paperwork on a house we purchased with more than the standard 20% down payment, and still had the money at hand for a goofy purchase like the Suburban. 

...I love how they put two of their existing discrete 12.3" LCD panels and a 17-20" new screen into a large piece of acrylic where they’re just opaquing the borders and are calling it a 56" “hyperscreen”. If I mounted 3 TV’s of different sizes in a line, covered them in a large piece of glass, and told my friends to…

While I generally find the “all gentrification is evil” narrative pretty limited, to me this is just called: Do Your Research. Figure out what happens in a neighborhood, decide whether or not you’d be happy to live there, and then sign your lease accordingly. Don’t show up and mess with the lives of the people who…

My answer to the OP is to call out that bullshit claim by insurance company. Look at your policy - closely. Look for a clause that allows you to demand a replacement vehicle in lieu of a check. They’re lowballing you, and feeding you a line hoping you’ll buy it and save them a couple of grand.  My guess is they’ll…

I’ve got what I think was pretty good insurance. They offered me about $3,600, less my $500 deductible. By all accounts this seems like a fair valuation given the milage, even though comparable vehicles with similar milage are going for about twice that. But they told me that’s not really how valuation is…

I’m hoping it’s in the low setting, and not in the “broken” setting.

Over the past 40 or so years, our country has deferred maintenance on the road system because taxes bad, gas must be cheap and freedom. We’ve also systematically cut almost all the strings to our safety nets, deregulated everything we could get away with and what we’ve ended up with is a world where honestly, Trucks…

We’re not exactly a people with a lot of grace anymore.

If you think you’re “buying into the future” because you got a haphazardly-assembled sedan with an unfinished interior from a South African diamond mine heir, then I guess the hype worked.

Neutral: Being a trans, a lesbian, and a witch made living in Trump’s America an anxiety nightmare. 

I know this is going to come as a strange concept to you, but this is what some of us would refer to as a “reliable daily driver.” Hear me out for a moment, because I think I may help you see the light...

The problem with gay drivers in racing lies not with the sanctioning bodies or even the other drivers, but rather with sponsors. I raced without sponsorship for a couple of years, and ended up bankrupt. I knew a couple of other drivers in my series who were gay (or bi..), including one who is still known today, but…

The last gen 200 was an underappreciated vehicle and I will die on that hill

Back in 2017 I took this photo at the Boston auto show...

Bruh. This shit ain’t changing. A few weeks ago, I decided to do a little gag as a joke, when the President of the United States started openly undermining free and fair elections.
