I’m in a similar boat. Been here for almost 18 years but I’ve reached as high as I can go without owning the company since it’s a small business. Unfortunately compensation has slowed down since nepotism took hold and family members are earning significantly more than me and doing a fraction of the work (if they…

Oh yea that’s not me at all. I will make it work until it can’t work any more. Haha. Ideally I’d like to get something like an Ioniq 5 when I have to get another vehicle down the road. But in a year or two hopefully I find out just how well my current car can baby.

Thankfully my Elantra’s trunk is surprisingly big so I could easily fit a stroller back there along with a bunch of other necessities without folding a seat down. My only concern is having someone sit behind me since I need as much leg room as I can get. But where there’s a will there’s a way.

Yup. I live in an area that has a decent amount of things within walking distance, a train station half a mile away and a bus route less than a minute walk so running local errands is absolutely great.

This is why I downsized to a compact sedan from an SUV. I almost never have passengers in the car with me. Of course that was before I met my possible future wife and mother of my children. Now I’m thinking will it baby? I’m sure it will but it might be a tight squeeze with the size of modern child seats and my 6'3"…

Makes sense. My thinking and it’s probably wrong is if they purposely set out to design a less powerful/more efficient motor it would in turn give you more range. We’re getting breakthroughs on battery tech so I don’t see why we can’t get a similar breakthrough on the motors to make them significantly more efficient…

Yup. It’s not bad looking but I have no need for that kind of power. I’d gladly take half the hp if I can get another 150 or so miles of range out of it. Hell I’d take 250 hp if I could get double the range. Realistically 350 miles should be enough for most of my driving but I’d like a buffer when it gets cold since…

I owned a 95 Camry sedan that was run into the ground before I got it. It lasted 4 years with me doing all kinds of dumb shit with it. It was probably the most reliable car I’ve ever owned considering what 19-23 year old me put it through. All that being said I still have to vote no dice. Even in this crazy market I…

Definitely a factor for me. When I saw I could trade in my 2019 Elantra for what I paid for it I was interested in upgrading to a new Elantra Hybrid. Unfortunately of the 7 Hyundai dealerships within 25 miles of me the 2 who don’t have market adjustment fees never have inventory on it. Probably because they’re not…

I noticed that too. I have a Buick GMC dealer near my house and while it’s not as full as pre pandemic their main lot is almost full and they seem to have somewhat replenished their used car inventory.

Dear Cadillac,

My thoughts exactly. Thankfully I have a pharmacy and supermarket within a 5 minute walk from my house and a library about 15 minutes walk. But outside of those 3 places everything else has to be driven to.

Yup. Cyber orange, Velocity blue and Rapid red are the top 3 colors and beyond that I don’t care.

I want to say not many. I know last year there was someone who was 78 in LMGTE Am... Let me look him up. Found him. He was actually 75 last year and 74 when he first competed.

Jesus. They’re clearly not any kind of fans. Luke didn’t know Obi-Wan like that. Luke knew him as Old Ben. Leia clearly knew him as Obi-Wan because she sent him a message asking for help! This series is literally telling that story. These so called “fans” can fuck right off.

Wow. Reva is the BEST part of Obi-Wan so far. Unfortunately these sad racists can’t stand to see a powerful person of color because it reminds them how inadequate they are and I can only imagine it’s made worse because she’s also a woman. They better get used to seeing Moses Ingram because she’s here to stay.

Fair enough and you’re probably right. Some people are just trash people. Just in my personal experience all the homophobic assholes I knew growing up have either come out of the closet or been outed by getting caught in the act.

Oh that’s easy, they’re closeted as fuck! They feel like by attacking it they can either get rid of their feelings or mask them because they’re so anti gay that they can’t possibly be gay. Meanwhile we all know they’re gayer than the gayest gay to have ever gayed.

Haha. I’d like an updated non rusting Beta coupe. Preferably in Alitalia livery.

So what you’re saying is that Lancia is Manny from DuckTales...
