Regarding young people, like anything there will be a variety of opinions. My 10 year old loves all of the Mario games and also spent a ton of time playing various games on my SNES Classic and I’ve never heard him complain about the appearance of the oldies. I also have teenage nephews, and their views on older/pixel…

The best decision I ever made was not buying a car. I’ve worked for a major automaker for the better part of a decade. When I got hired my daily driver was a car made by another automaker. I eventually replaced our family vehicle with something made by my company, but I never replaced my commuter car. Despite being a…

I believe we are the same age, and I rarely see gas stations without at least a small convenience store. I think it’s hard for them to make any kind of money if they don’t offer them. That said, google or whoever this article is about should simply have an option to turn it on or off. 

Isn’t it the rare gas station that doesn’t have a convenience store? 

I grew up around these cars, and always had an inexplicable love for them, so much so that my first car was a ‘95 Cougar purchased in ‘01. I have to NP this, but a lot of it might have to do with my own personal experience. 

I think this is a bit flawed. While EV drivers don’t need fuel from gas stations, they are sometimes the most convenient places to stop for coffee/snacks/restrooms on a road trip. 

I definitely don’t deny that they have a tough job.  While I’ve met good cops, most police offers I have met have had serious character flaws. It seems to me that the profession doesn’t attract the people it needs to. 

I definitely understand that frustration, but it’s the fault of the store for not having enough registers open. 

You had me right until your last sentence. There is nothing inherently wrong with either of those things. 

While some self-checkout experiences are better than others, I despise all of them. I already have a job, I don’t go to the store to work. My least favorite part of the shopping experience is unloading the cart. Unloading it and ringing up my own items, then bagging them in an area that never seems to have enough room…

I’m no blue lives matter type who thinks cops can do no wrong, but this seems like a reasonable response in this situation. Seems like it could have ended much worse for all involved had they taken a different approach. 

Not to mention that as EVs continue to grow in new vehicle market share they will inevitably grow their used vehicle share as well. Used buyers have to chose from what is available. 

I’m actually an industry analyst for a major OEM, and I find most of these to be laughable. 

I’ve been reading this site for 15 years, and I don’t know why I keep coming back. It is night and day different from what it used to be. 

I couldn’t disagree with your comment more. Some of us value our privacy and don’t want to feel obligated to interact with others every time we want to hang out outside or throw something onto the grill.

I hear you on filling stuff, my wife is not a light packer. That said, I don’t have room to speak. Having room for a guitar is critical to me on most of my road trips. 

I agree with you, but I don’t expect it will ever happen. Any lawmaker who suggests and/or supports retesting elderly people would be committing political suicide. 

Am I the only person who forgets which one is which? There is one about two miles from my house, I go there maybe twice a year, and I couldn’t tell you which one it is. 

We all have our own preferences. I prefer the higher ride height as well as the easier ingress/egress of a crossover compared to a wagon. This was doubly true when our kids were still in car seats. I hated bending down to get them in and out when they were young and we had two sedans in the household. 

You’re definitely an outlier, at least for a primary car. If I had the budget and space for an enthusiast car I might own something small and nimble, but for everyday family duties bigger is generally better.
