Driving up average transaction prices benefit automakers, so it makes sense fo them to bill this as a “people’s car” so that they can redefine what a “people’s car” costs.

Can someone explain the lease trade-in situation? How is that even possible?

Hows the air-to-cream ratio go? I remember learning that gelato and ice cream are essentially the same, save for how air is used or something.

Props to him for the elegantly flowing hashtagged sentences

Can you tell auto or manual just by looking at the exterior?

I never admit to cigarette or drug use because I worry it’ll get back to my insurance company somehow and they’ll fuck with my rates. Legit concern or overblown paranoia?

You’re right, it has a super rad patina vibe to it. I wonder if you could approach a more copper/green look with a coat of blue?

I used it specifically to spray the rusty metal hinges on my wife’s Jeep. From a few steps away, it looks like a nice matte finish, though up close you can see the muted texture of the rust. It’s not perfect, but it looks a hell of a lot better than rust when done well.

“Don’t.”

He did, but his passengers complained and he could hear them through the trunk’s soundproofing.

And the expansion will only continue, until safety and efficiency tech catches up and finds a new, less intrusive solution.

Everything a wagon or hatch variant sedan makes easier, plus easier load-in, better visibility, and (typically) more ground clearance. These days they;re just as comfortable and easy to drive, so why not?

Yeah, but you could make the same argument with midsize sedans. Europeans raise families with compacts and hatches, yet we Americans need our runabouts twice the size. If you’re gonna go for the midsize footprint, why not “build up” and take advantage of it with an SUV/crossover?

Those are both actually pretty good looking vehicles, so I happily agree.

Yep—undo some creases and that’s our VW!

More of an urban runabout for sure, then.

Care to elaborate? Was it just useless for daily tasks? I always wondered if people who own those actually go shopping or leave town.

2002 Mitsubishi Montero. The problems just never ended, but it was such a capable, luxurious, expansive beast of a truck and it always seemed like it was just one repair away from “perfect.”

Women don’t want to be a truck driver for the same reason they don’t want to walk through bad neighborhoods alone at night: men are filthy, brutal, disgusting, disrespectful animals.

I love “mad” science, and I really hope this happens. Consent all around, the possibility to exponentially improve a man’s life, and, regardless of the outcome, a huge educational opportunity.
