I can’t believe that this one is trending NP.  Yes, it’s a very pretty vehicle, but $9,500 is the tip of the iceberg.  You’ll be paying at least another $9,500 on the first trip to the mechanic.  No warranty, no dice. 

It makes me feel incredibly old that I can remember a time when Steven Seagal was considered to be a legit action star, and even a sex symbol.

It’s never going to end.  The virus will continue to mutate into variants that the vaccine can’t cover. 

It’s the little things: I liked that my ‘00 VW Golf had a little flip-down visor just above the rear-view to block the sun on an exceptionally bright day.

Bonus points for the margarita setup, but this is the sort of vehicle that should be donated to a quirky roadside museum or driven once a year in a parade.  Massive ND. 

ND at any price.  These things are downright dangerous to drive. 

I resisted for as long as I could, but frankly the effort involved in curating/ripping/etc became too much and I switched over to Spotify.  It’s actually kind of funny because I have a NAS share that shows exactly where I stopped buying new music and went 100% Spotify.  After many years, I have no regrets. 

I’ve always been fascinated by turbocharged engines. It’s cool to be able to create power essentially from exhaust gases, and they sound really cool to boot. But I’d probably tend toward a V6 over a turbo 4 under most driving conditions these days. It was my Jeep Renegade that pushed me in that direction. Part of the…

I’m ashamed to say I know more than a few people that simply crossed the border to WI to get drunk with friends rather than be inconvenienced. I also know a guy in WI that lost both of his parents to COVID in April, but was littering his social media with snaps from packed bars by mid-May.  There really is no hope for…

I’m sure their office is 200 miles away with no access to a charger during work hours, and that they drive 1800 miles to the coast 2-3 times a month to unwind. 

I see people here on a daily basis with disposable masks dangling from their mirror.  These cops simply wanted to pull over a black man.

Trains are great in theory, but even in Europe, the infrastructure is tottering. I can speak specifically to the Netherlands, which most of us Americans view with hostility/admiration as a socialist paradise. Their train system was a thing of beauty through the ‘90s, at which point the system was semi-privatized. It’s…

Subtle, but it always makes me question my sanity for a moment:

Finally, a NP!

I’d suggest taking a closer look at where the money came from.  Probably a man with a last name that sounds a lot like a male chicken. 

Price seems a tooch too high.  ND. 

And you have to assume that a less assertive customer would have just gone with what looked like the “better” of those two terms.  The whole dealer model just needs to go away. 

I loved that first-gen xB.  But I have a feeling I’m in a very small minority there.  Musk’s decision to pursue a sports car was the right one.  You can’t build hype around a station wagon (except among a few of us Jalops).
