Has the Ridgeline ever sold enough to justify its existence? I saw some stats recently and the Ridgeline in 17 years has sold the same number of Tacomas sold last Saturday, in one small county in Colorado.

The fact you have/had an Astro already makes you a very cool and special person. 

Watch so many of the nonsense car detailing videos. Many of those “pros” want people to believe that no amount of water and solvent will ever have a detrimental effect on systems and surfaces that were never meant for water. 

Embed Qi chargers in all roadways. Charging stations be damned. 

Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need... roads. 

You will, however, have to change your reference song. 

Rhyme on the ‘ino’ and all will be right in the world. 

Does anyone else miss the opportunity to buy new Mitsubishis? Shame they left the US market so long ago.

Ev Camino?

I don’t think we’ll see price normalization yet, unless the economy crashes fast and hard. It certainly could, but it isn’t inevitable.

It is a weird market for sure.

No, but I don’t think less of anyone who does own one, or has owned one. I’d never judge someone for the car they drive, or own. 

I agree with most of what you said here, aside from the Lexus snark.

I’m good with the CLA going bye bye.

You have it right. 

Hey, to each their own. I have zero interest in protecting a bank’s interests, but I have a background in personal finance and can say that a lot of misinformation is spread about the risks of debit cards.

I think your advice is well-meant, but not entirely accurate. Yes, credit cards have some benefits. Your last sentence also summed up why credit cards are a very poor choice for shifting all spending for most people. Also, the perceived risk of the use of a debit card is mostly inaccurate if you’re using a major US…

I’m on my second car with this type of tech. My newest car, that I just picked up the other day has what is probably the best Level 2 that I’ve experienced yet. I had an early Level 2 car, that I felt was ahead of its time. It was great, but I didn’t trust it unconditionally. It was too sensitive in some situations…

You can blame both the media and manufacturers for a general misunderstanding of what these features are, and what they are not. The reality is that we’re at SAE Level 2. That’s a good place.

We also have something that AI doesn’t have, yet. Real empathy, reasoning, and humanity. Those things aren’t algorithmic. They’re not even guaranteed in humans. AI-driven vehicles need to get to this level of thinking that represents the best of who we are, the problem is that humans can’t even get ourselves to agree…
