David, godspeed sir. The only person I follow that is crazy enough to rationalize that a 300k mile SUV is too nice to drive in the winter. Ergo, must purchase 50+ year old Plymouth to “reliably” manage Michigan weather.

You deleted your FB?  Teach me your ways, wise master.

Holy bleep.  That’s even funnier!  You think everyone south of the MD line is a walking, talking, leather tassel wearing, mulleted walking cliche?!  As a transplanted northerner, I find that hilarious!

I’m from the area and am familiar with that route and a lot of the folks who train out there.  Had a friend that was invited in that group but chose not to go.  There’s actually a lot of women and non-white athletes in the tri scene around here.  The assumption that it was a bunch of rich white guys is wrong.

You’re point, as delivered by Monty Python:

No one The cyclists should not have to set up a gofundme to pay for their medical bills.  FTFY.

The Houston cycling scene is actually quite diverse.  This is a popular route out of NW Houston that multiple groups use.

And not one comment about the shock and amazement with the realization that the British know of peak-90s country Billy Ray Cyrus to an extant that warrants parody?!?!!

Further proof that Canadians are too nice.

Not saying Winback created it (maybe it did....) but this was the first game I played that had a “cover” system to use the level to shield yourself.  Played the *bleep* out of the multiplayer for about a month in college before Timesplitters or Smash or something else took over (also played a ton of Fusion Frenzy…

Huh, never once thought of the n64 controller as uncomfortable (that stick however?  pure trash......give me the 3rd party wingless ones with a metal shaft).  Joy Cons in handheld mode on the other hand......hope you don’t want to pick anything up after 20 minutes of playing cause your hands be going to sleep hard!

And what does the back look like?!  Is there rumble?

“Messing up the feel of the stick”......n64 was the only Nintendo that I actually preferred 3rd party controllers because of how mushy the OEM ones felt (which only got worse as the plastic filings gummed it up worse with wear)......

Unrelated to the story, but I’ll take the opportunity to mention that I thought no one could ever make an Edsel attractive. That is until I stumbled across Miss Ethyl here at a car show one day:

True story....was behind one a week or two ago leaving my neighborhood.  When it turned on its blinker the first thing I thought was, “Wait, that arrow is pointing the wrong way.”  The second and more important thought.......Torch will lose his mind if/when he notices this.

And just make it a hatch alrea......wait, nevermind.  Take your star.

Fair enough....although I do have to admit, in a vacuum the Crosstour doesn’t look terrible.  To me, the painful part came when you saw the insanely bloated proportions of it in real life.  Just can’t miss the opportunity to equate the new civic to a mini-me version of the crosstour.....

Here you go:

Maybe bring in Torch...for some sanity?!  Wow we are reaching new levels of craziness on Jalopnik when Torch is the voice of reason.  I love it.
