You two are a couple of turkeys!

I find your comment to be fowl and I’m going to duck out of this thread.

As a member of Audubon Society, I had a different expectation of a crane in the back of a truck.

LAAAAAAAAAME!

I also had those flaming eyeballs (multiple). Jackholes would steal them on the regular. I currently have two vehicles with these antennas that I’d love to “bob up", but they'd eventually get nicked. I wish I had thought of your needle trick. That is evil genius level stuff there!

first company to sandwich very thin radio antennas into the glass windshield

Had a yellow smiley face one around 2000 that I took a brown marker to and drew on Mankind’s mask. Chances are I lost it in a carwash when I forgot to take it off.

Somewhere in the house, I have 1 or 2 Jack In The Box toppers.  Now I’ll have to go look for them.

I have a ‘what car should I buy’ but I can’t find the contact email

On ice, larger contact patch is generally not what you want. Larger contact patch leads to reduced lbs/square inch, which is key to maintaining static friction.

Oh man! That takes me back.

You could get a 2013 Mazda5 with the skyactive-g 2.0L, but that car is already 12 Model Years old. If you are in Long Island, I understand the appeal of a MPV. The Ford Transit Titanium Passenger Wagon is the right choice. MY 2019 is the facelift version, and 2020 ended the SWB version. Here is a 2020 Titanium w/ 40k…

We had a 2014 Mazda5 and loved it as a relentlessly efficient TARDIS of a car. If you need six seats in a small package the only real answers are buy the best 2014-15 Mazda5 you can find or a Transit Connect. Otherwise a Honda Fit is a sensible choice. I would avoid the Kia Soul, the older ones were a meh driving…

I... don't have that issue? Then again I have enough self control to not blindly impulse-buy garbage off Amazon...

Controversial opinion. If you don’t think you can handle delivering a bunch of packages, don’t sign up to be a guy who delivers a bunch of packages.

The Ford Transit is probably the best newer vehicle analogous to the Mazda 5. I can't think of anything else even close. The Fit is a great car (there's one in my driveway), but it's definitely a size class (or two) smaller. The Metris is definitely a size class larger and purportedly a miserable vehicle and worst on…

It does come down to how many people are being carried. The Fit (I’m definitely not objective) will carry 4 and their weekend luggage, or 2 and enough for at 5k trip.

Let’s hope that it’s a continuing trend in 2025.

I was offended by the Miata header photo until I read the reasoning. lol
