Agreed, though both the US and China are smearing the data so that it presents better.

It has added a background stress to my every day life. My wife and I have been as responsible as you have with the exception that I work in manufacturing so have been essential throughout the whole pandemic. I am Australian and she is American, but our plan has always been to relocate to Australia in 2022 so because I…

He must think it’s a rotary.

It looks like for the most part it is done quite well. Having inherited partial ownership of a PT Cruiser, the best thing it ever did was stop a police chase and get a large insurance settlement.

On the plus side, the fuel economy, plastic interior and turning circle will make you believe it is a real pickup truck.

My car has auto headlights and auto high beam, but they don’t turn off when the car turns off.

You mean like how, when I moved to the US in 2014, I had to attend a kindergarten graduation ceremony (...) and they had to stand, hands on hearts and sing the anthem as well as cite the Pledge of Allegiance, whilst EVERYONE in the audience had to do the same thing?

That was fucking weird as fuck. Especially after I…

The 1500 series with an LS in it look hilarious in the engine bay. If it wasn’t for all of the plastic it would look like a 70s land barge in there.

That’s the same person who decided the wheels looked good.

Currently my grass is growing about an inch per day and it was raining so i missed my opportunity to mow for almost two weeks. It did slow down at the areas where the grass was most dense, but it never stalled out. I have mine set as high as possible as the grass isn’t very dry tolerant so it helps it from drying out.

I…

I bought a new Civic Si because Mazda wouldn’t find me a manual Mazda3 despite having agreed on the deal. My wife has a manual Fit. All were brand new.

My favourite thing to point out is that with the riots, they ARE confining people in their house by force and the end the lockdown protestors seem fine with it. If they made curfews like this for COVID19 then people would have lost their minds. But when it’s black protestors in the streets it is “yes sir, in my…

The trimmer is really, really impressive. I have their smallest and cheapest mower, but managed to pick up the carbon fibre trimmer w/ power feed or whatever it is called on sale, with a battery for less than than the base model tool alone.

I have some gripes with the mower but a lot of those are due to my front and…

I for one live in hopeless optimism of Mazda stealing BMW traditionalist sales. No more 3 series with an I6 and a manual below the M3 leaves a pretty big hole and current Mazda interiors are outstanding.

But think Mazda6, RWD, 6MT, I6.

My way of doing it (despite only having work from home for three weeks, otherwise still at work) is that I am restricting trips to buy groceries, so anything I buy has to last for a lot longer between trips.

I remember seeing whichever Scary Movie this was (3 maybe?) with friends at the movies on New Year’s Day because we were still drunk and bored.

At that point in time the whole movie was fucking hilarious.

My brother and I had one of these. The end of our street was developed into a small subdivision when we had it and they put curved gutters on the street that made absolutely perfect ramps.

Though a few times we had to fish it out of a drain. *Just* the right size to fit.

For us, it was the addition of a child.

For being a tiny person, that little fucker sure adds a lot of extra shit.

I also live in a black and white world.

The video just reminds me that the only sound a VQ has is LOUD. I was glad for the second half where the E55 cleansed my ears again.
