In my BMW 335xi, 6th lugs the motor at a little too low of an rpm tooling around town on roads with 35-45 mph limits. 

I’m also in Maryland. Can confirm.

Hearing Clyde Frazier on that video makes me miss Phil Chenier. Not that I’ve actually watched a Wizards game this season or anything. 

Obligatory DC area resident chime-in: this was the year we were all going to be like, FUCK THIS TEAM, I’M NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

Every one of the vehicles above is built on a unibody car-based platform but shaped like an SUV. Which is...the exact definition of a crossover.

While many crossovers today don’t have much in the way of off-road capability, most people who bought any 4x4 trucks & SUVs back in the day weren’t buying them to go off-road, they wanted all-weather capable vehicles to drive on road. That’s still very much the perception of crossovers, even if mechanically they’re…

I purposely omitted the Eagle and Outback because regardless of capability, they are much more wagon-shaped than the SUV-ish crossovers that emerged in the late 90s. 

Crossovers that predate the Aztek include...

I’m in DC, and I’ve actually had a similar but less severe piriformis injury to what Dwight’s dealing with.

Properly adjusted mirrors are a Good Thing™, but they are also not a magic cure for windows that are too small or pillars that are too big.

I live in Rockville and I’m similarly disappointed given the demographics of MoCo. 

In the 80s and early 90s, yes. But the 1993 Camry and 1994 Accord (to a lesser extent) got bigger than their predecessors, and gained V6 motors that were competitive with the Maxima.

At the time, Nissan’s sedan lineup was a little weird compared to Honda and Toyota. The Sentra competed directly with the Civic and Corolla, but the Maxima only competed against the top level V6 Accord and Camry. The Altima (and Stanza before it) were a half step smaller than the Accord and Camry, and only came with a…

There’s always going to be a a little clutch slipping going on when flipping between them so it’s not completely seamless. But they can get close.

Suburban DC resident here. The Skins might have trouble selling tickets, but the old folks showed up in full force at the 2 pm Sunday matinee of the Rockville, MD community theater production of the musical Brigadoon, that my wife was all excited about seeing.

Toyota had a switch to disable the curtain airbags on various trucks & SUVs over the years, for this exact reason. (RSCA = Roll Sensing Curtain Airbag)

I lived in Madison for many years but moved away this year. While I’m disappointed I didn’t personally get to vote that motherfucker out of office, I’m highly satisfied that my former neighbors finally did. 

Growing up in DC in the mid-90s, the Bullets used to advertise games based on what other teams’ superstars were coming to town.

Hey now, I’m vegan and even I agree that juicebros are the worst.

I played the door chime sound while 2 of my cats were sitting on the couch at me. They were not pleased AT ALL.
