(announcer’s hushed voice)

I pretty much lost interest in pro football this year. I no longer set my Sundays (or Monday nights or Thursday nights) by it. It’s too much - oversaturation of games, the laughable system of fines/punishments which seem to be made up on the fly, and the hypocrisy of the owners/commissioner talking about player safety…

What? Legally banned? Why, because they make you feel mad, or something?

With this, Lambo is set to now produce up to 7000 cars a year, and most of them wilL not likely see aton of milage.

Hey there! Another self-employed sole-proprietor LLC owner here.

“Is there a calculator for people who don’t live permanently in the year 1990 and do actual modern contract work as a sole-proprietor LLC?”

Sounds like

I could argue the “market” is huge. Past sales may have been tiny, but those were indicative of both supply and adoption. With electrified and hybrid vehicles making huge advances in tech over the last few years that market is definitely growing for all segments. I’d see a solid take rate on this in commercial fleets…

Having owned a car with the screen like that, I have to say that is functionally better than having it in a shroud. You feel like you have more visibility of the road ahead, and it takes your eyes off the road less when you have to look at it. Aesthetically inferior, but functionally superior.

I agree. Make licenses harder to get and easier to lose, then people will put effort into not losing them. The problem is drilling into people that driving is a privilege, not a right. 

(Even better driver education would go a long way, in theory, though in practice that’s tough to implement too.)

Why wait for it to burst? Maybe just go ahead and live your life and let people buy the kinds of vehicles they want to...

I like the stinger, but I am not sure I can justify it to myself.

Ideally, I’d find something around 15k-20K used, but my budget is somewhat flexible, and I’m toying with the idea of buying something new next time.

I actually had a guy at a local tire shop recommend an all season over a snow (which is what I asked for) because I drive a Subaru.

Guess where I didn’t buy tires..

Uh, technically it IS all wheel stop. Almost every vehicle made in the last 50 years has all wheel stop.

As someone who works at a Toyota dealership, I can’t tell you how many people say “Who needs snow tires? I can just get AWD and be fine!” or “I really need AWD for Winter.”

I’ve pissed a lot of customers off reminding them it’s All Wheel DRIVE, not All Wheel STOP. The belief that All Seasons, quite literally, work in…

Big screens are not fancy. When have you ever seen a large screen in a smoking room?

Yeah, Mazda is one of the worst offenders in terms of distracting displays. At least they understand that they have a problem.

“It has been said on this very website that big, dominating infotainment screens are terrible, ugly and a pain in the ass. They effectively block your view and the design is usually lazy: stuck on top of everything like an afterthought”

Oh, like the one in the Miata
