Kratos looks ridiculous, but otherwise I dig them too

This seems like a car you buy and park in a public place because you want other Boomers to come up and talk to you

Only the idiots who don’t know how social services work want both

Never. Buy. A. Used. VAG. Product.

I don’t suggest buying new, either. Lease, sure, if that’s your thing. But that’s as far as I will go.

I understand. I don’t love slideshows either, but in instances like these, I think it’s useful to display features on separate pages that you can just quickly scan through, rather than a wall of like, 2,000 words of text.

Yeah, even hint that “Tesla isn’t really a software company, it’s just another sleazy car company-- but with worse build quality” and their heads explode

What kind of dystopian consumer-rights nightmare do you live in, that you can see a price on the internet but then you can’t buy the product for that price when you go instore?

Eh, see comment above about Tom’s column. I just offered it in the realm of “getting internet prices” in a car buying experience since that was what the OP questioned 

I can also confirm that I can walk into any CarMax and get the price as it appears on their website without any haggling.

“When’s the last time anyone walked into a dealership and got ‘internet pricing’?”

Any chance one of you fine fellow Super Troopers enthusiasts could get me out of the grays finally. I’ve been around since like 2007 but lost my status.

38 here and right there with you.  He’s just being negative.  And “how are you” is his standard mailed-in Neutral.  No creativity or effort there.

I *wish* I was 37 again. Knowing what I know now, of course. Was a good year for me though - that was when I started my current, and hopefully final job. Career went from flatline to moon rocket.

That’s pretty cool! I never thought about that.

That white, red, and orange car is beautiful and looks like it popped out of Outrun on my Sega Genesis circa 1987. Re: the ice scrapers, I think they’re aesthetically really cool, I can't imagine how you'd even drive them to shows though without getting them ripped off on the road 

Is there such a thing as a non-unique prime? A conventional prime?

37 is a unique prime, so there's that to look forward to

“My birthday is this Saturday, not at all looking forward to turning 36.”

I maintain “Why don’t you just get a large, Farva?” I don’t want a Large Farva” is one of the best jokes in that hilarious movie. It kind of flies by but the second you think about it, you realize the genius.  

They are basically caricatures of Japanese silhouette race cars from the 70s and 80s. The designs are taken from these race cars and turned up to 11.
