Play stupid games and you will win stupid prizes. Crashing like an asshole is a rite of passage for car enthusiasts, but the trick is to do it without witnesses and have a plausible story that can’t be disproven.

Fucking amateurs.

edited: too much, even for me.

if she’s only 80 pounds, she’s barely a dog. That’s a large cat with ambition.

When you get down to it, though, an SUV is just a tall, overweight wagon with modified cargo section. Not literally true obviously, but in terms of day to day realities it’s a valid way of thinking IMO.

It’s a crossover. They’re all variations on the same shitty theme: a smaller-sized bimbo box SUV to haul derpy brats around in.

Nothing to get excited about, as usual.

In some places yeah. The Tejon Pass doesn’t get it all THAT much but last Christmas during that storm it dropped enough so that my front end was dragging through the snow. There’s skiing and stuff within a few hours of LA at Big Bear, as well. Mammoth is a decent bit further but a great mountain to ski as well

Automotive highlight of 2016 for me was passing two stuck SUVs through a snowstorm right before Xmas in the pass between LA and SF. Only a few inches but they weren’t going anywhere. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I was in a Cadillac XLR, not exactly the best car in the world for snow… but putting on appropriate…

Sure, but if you want a list of reasons I hate SUVs and the people who drive them, it’ll take a while. I only have one gripe about wagons, and that’s the lack of secure storage :)

I feel like there are a lot of wagons without cargo covers but it’s also possible (likely even) that I’m just stupid.

Yeah SUVs are just stupid in general. Others are welcome to their own opinions, but much like orgasms, only mine matter.

yeah I think that I need to associate with better people

Holy living shit that might be the first time anyone has EVER gotten that reference.

The downside though is that wagons are all about that “look at all the shit you could steal if you break into my car”. Granted, you shouldn’t be leaving shit in your car when you can avoid it (especially if you’re going to be in the shithole that is San Francisco), but still.

You’re not wrong, but they do have their…

HATE dipshit bimbo box SUVs. Give me a wagon if I need cargo space or a minivan if I need to carry people (though as someone who does not and will not have children, and is also not a taxi driver, I don’t have a need for more than one extra seat).

I’ll admit I hate this guy purely because I am jealous and will never do that.

Pro-er Tip: Put the baby in the garbage bag, and the garbage bag in the trunk.

Sell the kids.

I’m an electric car enthusiast, at least conceptually (trying to buy one now, big believer in them as the future of cars), but none of the reasons I’m interested in them have to do with environmental friendliness.

Now the hideous import taxes can be dropped and the people of Australia can buy cars they actually want without being punished for it to support a shitty union making 99% mediocre cars and a couple decent ones.

I’m told they go for a decent price on the open market.
