As a non-offroader, can someone educate me on whether the lack of a manual matters? I would have imagined that having a torque converter would make for smoother transitions over obstacles?

1. Lack of manual on some slow boxy off-roader...don’t care. This isn’t really the type of car where that should matter.

I’ll tell you what they really, really want:

No contest. Tesla Model 3.

Leave it to Jalopnik to cry out for buttons when their isnt any, and explode when theres too many... w/e

Ya, I knew about this previously and will continue to ignore it. I’ll go with the standard walk on one side and stand still on the other. Dont block peoples path. There may be theoretical optimum ways of doing things but reality and social norms has a way of getting in those things way.

Weren’t you just trying to buy a right-hand drive Cressida full of bees?

Aren’t we all though?

Honda makes some damn fine cars in the US. Without one union member. Jalops can keep busy reading those reviews.

I don’t even know where to begin. “swapped pensions to 401 (k) plans for new workers - saddling workers with three percent of their health care costs”. Welcome to the real world. Do you know how many businesses out there even offer a pension and not a 401k? That’s the norm. And 3% of your Healthcare premiums? That’s…

Oh Id further add, that World Class ultra low co-pay health care, and in terms of GM’s case, the highest per hourly rate for workers in the manufacturing sector (sans-temps) in the world, combined with guarenteed bonuses at the rate of $1k per billion GM makes in profit for benefits sharing, and Id say your argument…

The economy is not a charity organization. See Russia if you think thats a cool plan. Stay educated.

If you aren’t a die-hard represented labor supporter you’re evil here apparently.

You do realize that hospitals are independently owned from the government right, what you described is a problem with the hospital not the healthcare system, also on top of that a hospital is going to help someone who pays for their own insurance rather than one that is paid for by the government because they have to…

Holy fuck it was another oval.

I had the same thing happened to me once, when the person clearly was scamming to get me to trade my seat with her, so she can sit in the window seat that I had, while I’m stuck with her shitty middle seat. Never again will I ever trade seats with anyone on a flight. You want to sit with a friend or family member, you…

So you’re an asshole then. Your fucking piece of shit kid too.

I will not, for any reason, feel guilty because I’m being shoved in an uncomfortable flying tube. I don’t care if it poops out 10 tons of CO2 per passenger, flying is one of the worst forms of travel in existence regardless of it’s environmental impact. It’s the textbook definition of a necessary evil.

I feel no guilt and like extra legroom. Its certainly more eco friendly to fly than drive cross country so if anything Ill be smug about it. If the jackwad world leaders and celebrities can all take private jets to go and lecture us to give up more crap in the name of being eco conscious then I can certainly take a…

I had that same engine in my 1980 TR8 that I owned like 20 years ago.  That engine has been around a while.
