“I actually don’t believe that there are people who genuinely prefer a melted sharp cheddar to melted American cheese, as melting a good sharp cheddar is just about the most disrespectful thing you can do to it”

 The 2021 Toyota Sienna should, if the world were a more rational place, be a formidable competitor to any popular SUV out there. It has basically everything any mainstream SUV has in the same exterior dimensions, but so much more inside. It’s a minivan, and it should be proud of that.

BUT BRO I CAN’T PRETEND THAT I’M A RUGGED LUMBERJACK MALL BUNYAN IN A MINIVAN LIKE A THREE ROW CROSSOVER

The rental Nissan Sentra I had last summer had the worst cloth seats I’ve ever sat in. Your butt was sore after only like an hour. 

“Yes I’d like my car paint to look like a guy wearing a navy fleece and blue jeans”

The nuttiest part is if it looks this fast on video, then I can’t even imagine how fast it felt in real life. 

The real reason you can’t get front bench seats anymore is you’d have to then have a center airbag so that passenger doesn’t smash their head on the center console or center of the dashboard. 

So right now I use this mount that blocks nothing, with a phone with a 6 inch screen, and it’s about perfect.

“Smartphones would be better with physical keyboards” is a wild take to have in 2020 when I could easily type an entire ten page paper without any mistakes or typos on a smartphone without any additional effort compared to a physical keyboard.

It just makes no sense that they don’t give a futuristic car like that a HUD or Audi-like cockpit display directly in front of the driver. None. 

This, and also, your general odds of a court throwing a ticket out for a mis-calibrated radar gun are about zero.

I’d consider $8-9k. $13k is ridiculous for a 13 year old Honda, which is a design dating back even further to 2003-2004. 

Also, boost gauges are nearly useless - if you’re on the throttle, you’re generating boost. If you’re off the throttle, it quickly drops.

I’m also puzzled why you would bother getting studded snow tires, but only buy two of them, leading to a dramatic difference in traction between one axle and another. Either you’re giving the drive wheels a ton of grip while the front, steering wheels slide around on all-seasons, or you’re giving the front, steering…

You know, unless the doors are off and now that passenger’s arm and leg are now outside the vehicle, crushed under it as it rolls to the side. Or maybe the vehicle tips over onto a guardrail or into a tree and there is nothing between the passenger and that object as the car falls sideways onto it.

And this (apparently from the zoomed in picture) elderly lady is extremely lucky there wasn’t a pedestrian or cyclist or something where her car happened to reverse.

Yep, that’s why whenever this comes up I say that everyone should have to pass a test every like 4 years. 

Always bizarre to see people trying to sell project cars whose work was just finished recently. Why would you spend all that time and money doing this just to get rid of it immediately, unless it’s a complete POS you just want to get rid of?

I also have no idea why ANYONE would buy a brand new Kia for $30,000, when $20,000-24,000 would get you a fully loaded CPO or Carmax car of a better make with better resale value and better build quality.

The three possibilities here are 1) secret military craft utilizing unbelievable, impossible-with-current-tech propulsion, 2) alien craft from another planet, or 3) the entire thing is a carefully planned out ruse involving a handful of pilots and doctored, grainy 15 year old video, to make other countries think we…
