When I was a kid my Dad had a pop-up. We took it everywhere. But, you’re right they’re a PITA. We redid the lift cables at least twice on the thing and they still failed again. We ended up just carrying 4 broomsticks cut to size as support for if/when a cable snapped

I might be in the minority here, but I agree with Raph. Before the proliferation of giant consoles, cars felt so much roomier.  I'm constantly banging my knee on the center console in almost every vehicle I drive. Give me the option for no or a minimalist console. 

It seems like nobody misses the shredded chicken burrito. That was my go too and what I’m most sad about losing from the menu.

Zesty is relative, and any car can be fun when driven at the limit.

I’m not sure anything about you is Regular. ;)

Welcome to the Front Page!

I've tried both, not a fan of either. I know I'm not normal. 

My wedding was very low key, in my Sister’s back yard. We had a total of 11 guests, all family. My Sister and I had to do emergency surgery on the cake because it was not assembled correctly and the top tier was sliding off the pedestal and sinking into the lower level. So we had to rectify that before the wedding.

I never quite got the hate for PT Cruiser.  And I rather like the look of this.  Probably worth the 5k for the custom fabwork alone

My favorite for years has been Primary Berry Graham/Strawberry Cheesecake. I rarely ever hear anyone talk about it though.

Liam Neeson. Maybe he has another special set of skills we don’t know about?

I must be living under a rock. I never knew that they made a G37 in convertible form.

Considering that my state has been under quarantine for a month, I think it would be a hard sell that I’m just going for food.  50 miles away.  Besides, I’m “working” right now.  At least that’s what I call it.

Not having White Castle from an actual location has always bummed me out. I actually like the frozen ones from the supermarket.  I can’t really justify going on a 50 mile trip each way to go get some White Castle, can I?

It depends on the state, obviously, but in NJ if you buy a car from a dealer they can still give you a temp tag, good for 30 days. I asked the question of what happens when the tag expires, and I was told that even though the tag says 30 days, they’re actually good for 90 due to the DMV being shut down. Obviously,

Absolutely. I wanted to buy a Fit when I purchased my 2015 Civic, but I just couldn’t find a comfortable driving position. I really want to replace the Civic with a new Fit (if I Fit). There’s been a number of times over the last few years that I have regretted not having the hauling versatility of a hatchback

I’m as bummed as you are that the Fit probably won’t be coming to the US shores. I would 100% buy it if I could find a comfortable driving position. The Fit is all the car I need or want.

I wonder what guise Ford wants this program under? They can’t use the same argument as the CARS program because, well, what Ford would really qualify? Maybe they could call this the Supplemental Help Investment in Transportation plan?  

I’ve seen a few Reddit AMAs and have asked McDonald’s corporate previously. I have my opinions about the cheese, just as you do. I’m not sure why my liking of McDonald's cheese is such an affront to those that disagree. 

I know that McDonald's cheese is not cheddar. It's a form of American cheese, but it's not a Kraft single either. It's a proprietary blend that comes to the restaurants in generic packaging.
