    Do you guys remember 15 years ago? Yeah, it’s going to be all Toyota and Honda.

    I thought the movie was okay. But I found all the “baby” stuff distracting. The main character had an exceptionally weird nickname, and it took me out of the movie a little. And maybe I’m just not getting it, but the nickname didn’t seem to add anything at all to the plot. Right? It was entirely throw away. So why

    You are incorrect. There’s nothing wrong with ending a sentence with a preposition. His sentence was just fine.
    I have no great problem with correcting someone’s poor grammar. Correcting someone’s proper grammar is less acceptable.

    Unpopular opinion, coming in hot. Good riddance, mid-size sedans!

    Isn’t that true with the central processing unit of all modern cars? Even my old pickup - if the computer craps out, I’m going to have a problem.
    That said, the automatic OTA updates that Tesla uses freak me out. In my mind, that does make it more prone to eventual issues. They’ll push out an update that fucks it all

    “Something from 2010 seems positively archaic.”

    light(ish)? It was 1800 pounds! How much lighter would it have to get to just get called “light”?

    Perhaps I’m one of them. I don’t think I need it.
    But I sure as hell want it.
    I’d LOVE to use it next week on Christmas. Have fun as a family all day, straight through dinner. Then once everybody, adults, kids, and pets, is ready for bed, just transfer to the car and go to sleep. Wake up at Grandma’s house three states

    “a staggering 71 percent of people surveyed would still want to drive, while only 29 percent would actively welcome the arrival of autonomous vehicles.”

    Also, throttle response is cool!

    Note to life-long southerners: If you..... If there’s....

    At low speed, without gyroscopic effect, putting torque through the front wheel can dramatically alter the regular steering response. Heavy front brake use while leaned over at low speed can easily fold the bars all the way to the stop on somebody that isn’t expecting it and ready to react it.

    I don’t understand what that plan was meant to accomplish anyway.
    If she really was in romantic relationships with 7 other men, what does he think will happen when they see a video of him abusing her? I suspect their reactions would NOT be “Oh, I suppose this other nice fellow has dibs. Abuse away my friend.”

    I like that. Concise and true.

    “The societal pressure against the creation of a female car enthusiasts starts with that cheesy gender reveal with pink cake or confetti in some balloon that dictates girls are supposed to like that color...”

    “How much does branding matter to you when you’re buying a car?”

    Excellent riding isn’t it?! Those roads are very near where I live, and they’re a significant piece of why I chose to live here.

    I’m aware of that possible meaning, but I do not believe the people using the terminology intend that meaning. It would be strange to interpret my question “how are you?” as requiring an answer specifically about their health. If they thought that’s what I was asking, they should have also thought I was overstepping,
