Hey, It’s Mercedes Streeter! I remember that name. I use to love your articles.

A little story about Highway 401. I had a physics teacher who told us that in the 80's she use to be a consultant. She had an engagement with the Province to determine how many cars drove on the 401 each day. She did a bit or research and built an algorithm. She made her estimate, was paid but never heard anything more…

What ever you choose, make sure to get some roof racks. You can tie down a lot of things onto those if you have a decent set. I use mine all the time.

I fully accept that your rant is just a rant and will offer you some valueless advice.

The headline read like a hit piece on Tesla. I was expecting the usable length to be 5'11" and this would just be a minor joke, like most guys dating profiles. But even a shallows box is limited to 5'6" which is a significant reduction in length.

I remember when the pricing for the Maverick was first announced. I was taken aback because it was one of the only times I can remember being surprised how low the pricing was. Clearly a lot of other people thought it was priced right as you couldn’t get any models and it was sold out everywhere. While the increase…

I’ll disagree there.

I always thought these were more to protect the bike. Protect the bikes bottom tube and forks from denting or rubbing.

Variant brands with identical internals? The auto industry would never do that! Almost like no one remembers the glory days of GM. Or the current days of Volkswagen.

I went from a $600 Rocky Mountain Hybrid to a $5,000 (Canadian) Gravel Bike. I also do casual riding, probably very similar to you. I’m no racer, rarely go more than 50km in a day, I don’t plan routs with extra hills.

I am seeing a lot of those and the new Trax on the roads.

Wow that is a really good price for the lock! My school store always had things at a mark up over regular price.

Short answer “Yes”. But it can be mixed with an extreme amount of intelligence which lets them do some actual damage.

Ah the “MSCHF Boot”. A style so absurd that I actually like it. They go for about $350 and were a temporary fashion item about a year ago.

I’m 6'3" which is somewhat tall, but falls within 2 standard deviations from the median. I’ve noticed many car reviewers also claim to be 6'3" which is useful when looking for cars to cross off the shopping list.

They use the 5'9" person for ALL their headroom measurements for consistency. Same height person for their general stats and their list of best cars for short people.

Shocked to read that Nissan doesn’t have any Hybrids on the US market.  I don’t follow the brand closely but I didn’t expect that at all.  

I was wondering if it was sponsored too. I’ve read/watched 3 reviews now and they are all glowing. Either they are spending marketing dollars for good reviews or Hyundai has built a vehicle that is a full step above the competition. While the second option would be great, this is a very competitive segment and the…

I just realized that my comments could be diminishing to a very important social movement and discussion.

In my area that flag is frequently used by the “Protect our kids from the woke” crowd. It is often found along with flags about Trudeau. I was heartbroken once when I was chatting with someone who didn’t understand what the slogan had to do with residential schools. I have a few Indigenous friends who are very…
