Im a sucker for 4-seat ‘verts and this one even has a stick. Its also got the despised basket handle that ruins the lines. Oh, and its a 20+ year old VW. That makes it an automatic ND before I even see the asking price. It doesn't matter how much time and money the seller has put into this thing, its a time bomb…

Oh please allow me to tell you about my low-mileage, creampuff Eos that had multiple roof failures that were somehow still the LEAST of my problems. That POS car had major engine failures that left me stranded or in limp mode 4 times in the first 3 months of ownership. And don't even get me started on the lying,…

Hasn't Doug Ramsay/Cipher stayed dead for the most part? I remember them being pretty consistent with that for a decade or so...

My wife (51) was completely squicked out by the age gap which surprised me a bit. The employment aspect is a much bigger concern for me. 

Thats kind of the point of the comic. If the alternatives to the heroes saving the day were positive, happy stories don’t you think those would be the canon?

Yrah, the Mini is definitely not a soft ride. To get a 4-seat drop top with a sizeable back seat and a soft ride you need to go looking for the (rare) Infiniti, Lexus and Mercedes models- and they get pricy. I cross-shopped a BMW 1-series convertible and found it had a much smaller back seat than my Mini despite…

If I wasn’t driving a 4-seat convertible right now I’d be interested. I cross-shopped the C70 before I bought my Mini ‘vert and I liked it a fair bit. Decent quality and reliability, fantastic safety, good comfort. But I lived briefly with a hardtop convertible and found them lacking. Sure, they’re the same as a…

Buy a motorcycle? Thanks, but I’d rather enjoy the feeling of the wind in my hair while knowing I’m going to survive a crash with the soccer mom who’s texting behind the wheel of her SUV. I’d also like to take my family around with me from time to time. Motorcycles are objectively more dangerous, less practical and…

The fact that you suffered through multiple Sebring convertibles excuses your grudging tolerance of the Solara, I guess. But as one of the ‘dozens convertible buyers left out there you really should have looked at a Mini. Less expensive, better handling, better mileage,, easier to park and I’m 6'2" and very…

My dad had a mid-80s Cutlass Ciera. It was a completely anonymous 4-dr sedan with absolutely nothing memorable about it. The only thing I specifically recall about that car is that it was vastly superior to our other car, an aging (and soon to be decrepit) 1979 Mercury Grande Marquis. I learned to drive on both, but…

Could have been worse: there was an SNL sketch years ago where native Americans pooled their casino money and bought up all the racist sports teams so they could rename them. The Cleveland Indians became the ‘Kleveland KKlan’. 

My mom had a Pontiac 6000 LE in white with an almost identical interior. It was an eminently forgettable car. The only memory I have of it is the time I borrowed it to drive 2 hours down to Windsor, ON where an old girlfriend of mine was getting rid of all her stuff in preparation to move to Japan to teach English. I…

My dad had one in British racing green and I've always loved them. NP if only out of nostalgia!

If you must have nuance, then MOST cops are bastards and the rest will actively or passively support their bastardy. And yes, the cop you interact with might not shoot unarmed blacks for fun or rape your daughter. But they won’t lift a finger to stop their partner from doing either, so the difference is irrelevant. 

Bullshit. They may have co-opted it, but that doesn’t change the truth of the statement. If 4chan starts saying "all Nazis are bad!" that doesn't mean it isn't true.

Agreed. Minis are a blast to drive, have way more room than the Fiat (and better reliability) and can be had with a stick in all models. My preference is the convertible  but if he wants to do some road tripping he may be happier with the mini wagon Countryman. They come from the factory with more color options than…

GURPS. It is literally universal (right in the name!) so can play any genre. Its simple, points-based and flexible enough to let you apply or ignore rules as necessary based on the skills, interest and anal-retentiveness of your players. Its the only RPG you'll ever need.

Volkswagens are way more entertaining to drive than a Camry or Accord IMHO.

The Pilot is well-named; it feels just like navigating a ship into harbor when you drive one. We ended up in a 3-row Subaru Ascent which had better handling than any of the other 3-row SUVs we tested.

I did option 2 and went for a Subaru Ascent. Better price, better vehicle, better manufacturer, better dealer experience and I’m willing to bet that Subaru is a lot better at building/servicing AWD systems than Kia. It’s arguable that the Kia had more/better gizmos, but they wouldn’t let us test drive it so we’ll…
