Identifying a standard-sized rectangle and a list of about 36 individual characters is pretty easy. Being able to identify if a group of pixels is a car or a bus or a person or Big Bird? That’s incredibly hard.

You seem to be under the impression that the department doesn’t have an entire staff of career bureaucrats whose job it is to do the actual work of the department.

Based on the replies here, plenty of people are saying Pete has no right to family leave.

That, good sir, is what they call “disruption”.

I feel for anyone who needs to buy a new car right now. You’re going to get fleeced, there’s no way around it.

As an aside, it amazes me that Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars are the same price as they were *50 years ago* when I was a kid. $.99 now, $.99 back then. Used to spend at least part of my allowance on them every week. Not quite as nice as they used to be for the basic ones, but still.

I believe they’re referring to the lines, “... it costs a little more than the typical Hot Wheels diecast you’d find at Target. Ten times more, as a matter of fact. [...] I can’t shake the fact that this toy would cost $10 if it lost the Gucci logos.”

A white coal-roller in Texas is part of an in-group with police, and not to be bound by the law. Cyclists are “environmentalists”, an out-group not be afforded protection by the law.

Different strokes for different folks that’s why. I dislike anything that’s chrome or silver on a car.

Why not just keep the power the same, and use a smaller battery module to keep the weight down? Why does every EV need giant power? 

In today’s sea of bland CUVs, the Aztec, especially the later ones with painted cladding, actually look strangely attractive.

I would argue that the Diesel variants are more fuel efficient than most CUVs/minivans the average family rolls around in.

Jeep Liberty, Both versions. 

The small raised cars that companies are trying to sell as cross overs: the trax or ecosport:

Even “bad” cars have their merit. Boring cars have their upsides. If we were going to erase a car, then it would have to have had damaged the automobile landscape forever. There was nothing more damaging that this:

My hot take? Pretty much any ultra-expensive hypercar with a production run of like 5-25.

This is more of an overall body style than a particular model, but I guess the BMW X6 started the trend of fastback crossovers.

Bad take. Without Tesla we would still be waiting for the “big 3" to release an electric car. Before Tesla there was not a single Electric car i would ever consider driving. By showing the world that electric could be stylish, fast, and easy enough to own Tesla kicked the auto world into the next century.

I’m going to go with those awful Malise-era GM diesels. The ones with the 350 small block “converted” for diesel use.

Sweet.
