I disagree; I view these as a public service, and would prefer they be at something like “cost”, or less. Making them more expensive will also crowd out smaller companies with shallower pockets, widening the gap between multinationals and local businesses - which already struggle to get on these signs, due to the…

It’s less the “one hand” than the “reading” that troubles me. Driving with one hand is not dangerous; transferring the brain’s executive function from operating a motor vehicle to consuming large amounts of text is.

I went from a BMW e30 to a Cadillac Sedan de Ville to a Jeep Cherokee, and let me tell you: my blood pressure is, like, a tenth what it used to be. I’ll take the longer road with less traffic, or some random dirt road, and just drive whatever speed I feel like. And interestingly, it hasn’t had that much of an effect…

Yeah, and they kind of have to be, because crimes aren’t committed by groups, they’re committed by individuals. Individuals who have committed crimes have, like, a whole other process. The reason it has to be this way is to prevent a couple terrible eventualities; firstly, someone awful can get in office, declare your…

$40,000 for a Dodge 2500. I don’t live in the same sort of place other people do.

Then I’ll spare you my pointing out “Shefiff’s office”. ;)

Obviously, the solution is to go buy a running Jeep. The more you own, the less chance they’ll all be broken at the same time.

Not meaningfully, but if your pet is exposed to exterior temperatures at 35,000 feet, you have another problem entirely! The temperature concern here is about runway/holding temperatures, before/after there’s any environmental control operating in the hold. If you’ve ever been stuck on a plane with its air circulation…

Subwoofers and back windows, man.

Also, when’s a manufacturer finally going to put wood on the floors? The XC60 with a wood floor would be unstoppable.

Doesn’t look half bad.

Just hold off for a year. If, after the first year, you’ve actually been running into things you can’t do because you don’t have enough lift, look again: by then, the aftermarket will have had time to improve on the original.

Drove ten hours overnight from downstate Michigan to Missouri to buy the perfect XJ: a 1995 four-door Sport with an automatic. I’d bid on it a couple years earlier, and had my chance to buy it from the guy who beat me out.

Many times I’ve watched people get hit with expensive tickets, then $2,000 in Driver Responsibility fees, only to lose their license driving anyway, because they live 30 miles from where they work, and start the whole process over. There are almost always decisions along the way on the part of the drive that could…

Correct: they’re peak numbers with a range that shows the torque on the V-12 is available across a broader band, and more horsepower is available at lower RPMs, but you can’t judge an engine on its specs, so I’ll wait for an actual comparison between the engines by someone who’s driven both of these biturbo engines.

We’re comparing two turbocharged engines, so there’s no N/A motor in the comparison; the chart is above, in the article; my assertion is that you can’t judge the motor on those specs, anyway.

Hobbies change, for sure, and very few are those who maintain the same hobby throughout an entire lifetime. Rest assured that if you replace it with something you love equally, you’ll feel no loss.

Another consideration is ecological: how do home delivery meal services compare in this regard, in people’s experiences? I haven’t used any (way, way, WAY out of my price range), but it would seem as though there’d be a lot of wasted packaging, and of course there’s the delivery truck itself.

Agreed. Also, the torque on the V-12 is available across a broader band, and more horsepower is available at lower RPMs, presumably making for a better high-speed experience. More importantly, the usual caution applies: you can’t judge an engine on its specs, or while sitting at a desk.

It’s tough, because I don’t want my fun coming at someone else’s expense, but...I do like my fun. Given that my fun is typically at speed, and off-road, it’s not like I can do the things I like on private property (I don’t have enough of it), but I also don’t want to be giving kids asthma or covering the forest with a…
