I didn’t make that connection at the time, but the guy did go out of his way to use the words “blue lives matter”...

“Olds the world over may be lamenting the death of the REAL CAR where you did everything yourself because the REAL CAR MEN like to do everything themselves even the manual spark advance, before dying from drinking too much radium.”

I’m not a fan of the CR-V. It doesn’t seem like a very useful vehicle configuration, and I won’t defend it.
But I will step in to defend vaginas. I don’t think they deserve the association you’ve created. Unlike the CR-V, they are quite useful.

“The millennials, many of whom are now well into their 30s, are having their own baby boom, moving to the suburbs and buying—wait for it, wait for it—giant SUVs.”

“I don’t even buy shoes that cost more than $200 (typically, anyway), so an expensive watch just wasn’t in the cards.”

My take: Most people regret doing almost any significant mod to their daily driver. If you’re changing the way it drives, you’re probably making it worse (as a daily driver).
Every single design decision in your car is a tradeoff. Every choice had an alternative that would have been better in some way but also worse in…

Is that a bullet hole in his knee?

So when you slide, do they slide with the seat or stay put with the console?

I’ve wondered about those things. Specifically, how well does it stay put when you slide the seat all the way forward and then almost all the way back a couple times a day?
Or was it really intended for people that either marry a spouse with the same length legs? (Or people that do the old fashioned his-car and her-car…

I take it you either don’t have kids or don’t road trip much. Fine. But a lot of people do. Changing a kid on a back seat is not at all comparable to doing so on a big flat floor. You can’t seriously think they’re close to equivalent unless you just haven’t done it very many times.
As for the sleeping and spare tires…

“Wagons are typically pricier than their sedan counterparts, without offering significantly more practicality.”
What? Pricier, sure. But without significantly more practicality? Are you serious?

TRUTH.

“Both the driver and the passenger were issued citations and were allowed to leave.”

I agree with what you’re saying.
Your description makes me think of Porsche. The true (old) “Porsche guys” cry and moan every time the company threatens to acknowledge that rear-engine is not the best formula for a sports car. So they continually hobble the Cayman to keep it slower than the 911. Yet they haven’t lost…

Aren’t the pictures of the one in Tennessee a bit concerning? I’m pretty sure that somebody with an old-school digital camera (with superimposed date!) photographed a glossy printed photo from an even older-school film camera.

“...all those self-driving vehicles — including trucks — will essentially become moving living rooms.”

They might classify a loaded revolver as “chambered”.
According to the numbers they provided, 30% of the loaded guns were chambered. IF the photo collage they provided is representative of the distribution of guns they found, about 25% are revolvers. Loaded revolvers could represent most of that.

The seat was never designed to take that kind of load. Even the driver’s deceleration load isn’t meant to go through the seat back; it goes to the B pillar. So yeah, 200 pounds hitting it at 50mph or so is going to break it like it’s nothing.

This is not just for your sake. What do you think happens to that driver when his passenger smashes into the back of his seat?
