But about 1 in 4 Americans live in an apartment, so yes, it’s a big deal. Also: Indiana is not cold. Minnesota is cold. 

Why do they even need the camo disguise? It’s not like anyone sees these things anyway.

Fair enough. But the Catera sucked too.

Ah yes-my mistake; Cimarron. I had forgotten.

Cadillacs built in the 70s and 80s. Catera anyone?

Flipside QOTD: What modern car is hurting the reputation of its progenitors? Are newer Jags more reliable? Sure. But I don’t want one like I want an XJ6. The Porsche Cayenne is an undeniable success, but I’d argue that it besmirched the brand. 

I never learn. I give in and buy a VW every 8-10 years, when I am reminded once again how much of a pain they are. Last one (I mean it this time!) was a TDI Jetta wagon. Which was great! Until it wasn’t.

Given that the writer is coming out of a VW CC I’m guessing he may be one of the people who would question reliability. Along with anyone else who has ever owned a VW post-warranty.

“If you like simplicity and no clutter, then their interiors are the best” No, that would be Volvo.

1) I have never safely crashed an airplane

Um, the kid’s response (per the article) was to call his mom on his cellphone while trying to fly a plane dead stick. Also this, from the Guardian: “While he noticed the telephone wires running alongside the highway, Peters said, he did not realize until later that there were also wires crisscrossing the highway every…

Related: This FB ad I saw. Aston Martin has made some lovely cars, but now they have to hide them behind a woman with big trousers.

I’m only barely OK with teenagers driving cars (SUVs/Pickups-there are no more cars, sorry). A hard no when it comes to letting them hurtle through space in a ton of metal and witchcraft.

Wish list:

In 2023 demand for existing EV charging points will exceed availability in many US locations, causing a reckoning, of sorts, with many consumers trading back to ICE vehicles. While the Biden administration will express interest in addressing the shortage on a national level, a republican congress will prevent…
