You wish, kid. Keep trying.

A few flaws I see in your logic:

Ha! I found today’s smug asshole!

Nobody’s spending hundreds a month on the hardware lease on any phone. When the alternative is not being able to have a phone, and the cheapest you can find cell service still costs $70/mo in most places with the hardware lease, by saying those people should not pay that expense you’ve marched privilege into “why…

If I lived in a Brooklyn apartment, I’d have a nice tablecloth covering a corner table with a lamp on it, that I’d disassemble and replace the underpinnings of twice a year. It’s great what you can do with a stack of tires, a piece of plywood, and a bed sheet...

Hell, the Conti DWS is amazing in snow. I had a set on my last Subaru, and even when I tried to do donuts on an 8 inch layer of snow, they were so grippy that I had to fling it pretty aggressively.

I love comments like this. They show a total lack of awareness of underprivileged life. This statement really boils down to “Go be unemployed and homeless if you can’t afford good tires.”, to literally millions of people in the US. Same with the “don’t buy used tires” comments.

I think the major problem with that sort of preventative measure, is that while a lot of people just ignore that stuff until a tire blows or something, there are also a lot of people who can’t afford to be forced to fix that stuff. It’s not the best excuse, but when the alternative in most cities is “lose your car,…

My problem with statistics dictating safety, is when you’re actually keeping something less safe, just because the numbers say it won’t be used as often - and something that would be trivially more expensive to make as strong and safe as the other side of the car.

I think we’re close to that zone, but I think you’re wrong that we’re there. If we’re just getting around to making sure the passenger side can take the same abuse the driver’s side can, we’ve obviously got some room for improvement. Same goes for rear impact tests (as you can see from the rear impact test of the…

The discrepancy between passenger and driver side impact results really makes me mad. You know they skimped on structure on the passenger side because the extra $8 in metal and welds it saves per vehicle makes the quarterly bonus checks bigger, and they figured fuck anyone driving the cars, because that extra $150 on…

I noticed the clapped out Baja Bug had a for sale sign on it. That sounds like the makings of a buddy comedy, starring you and Orlove...

That stretch of Woodward usually sees exotics and tuners, every weekend of the summer except Dream Cruise. They still show up that weekend too, but there’s so many classic cars and restomods out that weekend, you hardly notice them...

That’s even worse, but at least it’s less hassle to remove them, I guess. Still total CP...

Now, I know these were never meant to haul anything. I seem to recall being told at one point that owners were actively told not to carry anything heavy in the “bed”, but...fucking seriously? You took the only available space to store anything, outside the glove box, and filled it with air ride tanks?

Dang...I was not prepared for the feels that her rendition of Amazing Grace would give me. This city just got a very noticeable bit less colorful...

It’s always bugged me how Kid Rock, the rich son of the owner of a bunch of car dealerships, bought property in every stereotypically “white trash” suburb in the Detroit area that he could buy enough land to build a mansion in (probably why he doesn’t have an address in Hazel Park - the lots are too small...), just to…

And now my former co-worker (Hi Justin!) is looking up flights from Windsor to Maryland...

Considering Auburn Hills is about a half hour drive from the northern boundary of Detroit proper? Not very, even ignoring where the parent company lives...

I’d consider an early production of an existing platform. In this case, the whole platform is new, so yeah...2020 is the earliest I’d look at one of these, if I was shopping for a vehicle in that category.
