It’s also worth considering that other modern western democratic countries have similar violent media, levels of poverty, crime, drugs, and mental illness, with nowhere nearly the same gun death rate - or mass killings by any other means. The fact is nothing lower the bar to easily taking your life or many others than…

I’m middle-aged and lost several pets over time, but there’s one cat (Bonk), in particular, with such a huge personality and that was with me over tough times too. When he died suddenly at 13 it was so traumatic. The least I could do was have him cremated so that he’d always be part of our household - wherever that…

I was thinking about replacing my two 1080p computer monitors with one 4K tv/monitor. Is this TCL TV a good choice as a monitor for viewing basic computer tasks, some video, and light gaming on a desktop PC?

People like Honda and Toyota minivans because they’re spacious, reliable, and practical. Cherry-picking a used performance-oriented SUV is not a fair comparison since the main attributes of a “family hauler” just don’t target performance. Your typical (non-on-road-performance) oriented SUV of similar price, size, and…

All that grill crap would impact engine cooling and a lot of modern sensors, like radar, used for adaptive cruise and emergency braking.

I’ve been following the development of EV trikes and this local (to me) company, but I really wish they had made an articulated suspension that allowed you to lean into higher speed turns. Also make doors standard, since it rains a lot here in PDX.

(GenXer who finally just bought a crossover)

As a GenX’er with degrees in industrial design, I grew up in the analog to digital shift, building desktop PCs, RC buggies, and now fpv race quads, this modularity, mass production, and subsequent drop in component price is exactly the direction I had hoped for EVs. “Wrench time” will soon involve soldering new ESCs,…

How is a completely new model (Niro is not even a year old) the most reliable car?

IDK Corolla or Accord?

yup, someone got a drone with 3 axis gimbal...

Wall-E and Vincent put together and apparently hunting otters.

We recently shopped for a vehicle with the same general requirements and ended up with the new Honda CRV-EX. It’s just a tad over your limit, but you’d be getting a new reliable Honda with the largest (40 cubic ft) interior of any compact SUV, 5 star crash rating, lots of active safety sensors, tons of luxury and…

Agreed. I almost bought that CX5, but got the CRV instead. Except for polarizing looks, it was objectively a better CUV.

LOL, reading this from my phone from inside my 5th gen Prelude SH!

I thought cats were supposed to do “better” on a pure meat diet since they’re carnivores and not quite omnivores like domesticated dogs.

LOL - I took up sea kayaking but had no other car at the time...

I still daily drive my almost stock 97 type SH. Except for consumables and rims, literally every major part is factory original and still works just fine - drive train, alternator, sunroof motor, AC compressor (with original freon), right down to the torque vectoring Atts. It’s not fast by today’s standards -it’s…

Yay, I just flew Alaska in coach and closed my shade...
