I wasn’t sure they still made the Maxima - but oh boy - Nissan’s site refers to it as:

Pretty much every Infiniti currently in production, and their Nissan counterparts. QX80/Armada, Maxima, others.

Mind you I don’t want some of these to die. But, either put out a competitive COMPLETE replacement, or just let them die already.

“but not everyone might know that vegetable and engine oil have different properties that make them suitable for their respective tasks.”

Let’s all just think about the fact that these owners have the right to vote, drive and breed.

I’m just as dumbfounded too. Me and the spouse both make 6-figs, but drive quite simple vehicles (Hondas) and are gobsmacked at the sheer number of $60-$80K bro-trucks with lift kits towing jet-skis or RVs. How and why so many people seem able to afford this, or are OK with going so deep into debt to do so is a questio…

Americans by and large are pretty stupid. The fact that we have a coin toss between Biden and a guy who is out there literally making Hitler quotes is irrefutable proof in addition to buying overpriced small-penis compensating trucks

Are you telling me that I may have to compromise and buy a Civic LX (cheaper than in 1999 when adjusted for inflation) instead of a Type R or loaded Pilot?

Inconceivable!

Not being able to buy a Type R or top level trim model seems like less of an affordability issue and more champagne taste/beer budget issue.

If you want something Honda cheaper than Fit, then it’s Honda Brio

West Virginia is a case of poor circumstance and some blundering, not active choices. They did well in the industrial era, with the logging and the coal mining, and they got complacent on that score. And addicted to the poison of nostalgia thinking it would all come back like “the good old days”, but they’ve been…

What’s the purpose of a sedan?

Maybe all insurance is trash, but there’s pretty extreme varying degrees of trash.  Elonsurance sounds like it’s scraping the bottom of the barrel here..

All insurance sucks, sure. But it does seem like a particularly bad idea to buy insurance from the maker of your *allegedly* self driving car and then try to file a claim when it self-drives into a barrier.

2 things — this is company who famously has no PR dept, and whose owner sends poop emojis in response to requests for comment. And these policy holders are surprised that getting any answer out of any of them for anything is proving difficult?

or we can stop screwing around and really embrace work from home. Since june of 2020, I’ve put all of 8000 miles on my car, because I work from home 4 days a week. I mean, it’s huge the amount of gas I don’t use anymore - so little that frankly, gas prices don’t mean anything to me when i only hit half a tank after 30…

better city planning too.  not having most of the housing fucking miles away from the places people work would save everyone a ton of time. 

Okay, let me give some context. (all the trails featured in this video are now closed as of this saturday)

Some of that is the shitters, but most of it is honestly just overuse. The more traffic a trail sees, the more damage it endures. Deserts are some of the most fragile biomes, so that damage gets magnified.

While I’m not familiar with the off-roading scene in Moab, if it is anything like where I grew up it can be summarized thusly:

Quite misleading, Toyota’s EV sales suck because their EV sucks and is not competitive.
