The most comfortable cars I have driven are a ‘93 Camry and a ‘96 Lumina. I borrowed them each for a bit during times my XJ was in the shop. Because I drove an XJ, it is possible that I would have found any car “more comfortable” in comparison to a RWD unibody SUV that made sure I knew what was happening under the…

My first ride was a base model Cherokee XJ (4.0, of course) was not a comfortable ride, as I could feel every texture change and bump in the road, but it conditioned me to like that in a car. Any car that absorbs too much of the road feels floaty and imprecise.

I love how the Cherokee XJ post has nothing more to say. What else is there to say, except if Jeep can’t put the 4.0 I6 in it, don’t bother!

No troubleshooting or testing should involve a crewed re-entry cycle. If the thrusters don’t put the capsule at the exact angle-of-attack it needs before entering the atmosphere, and maintain that AOA during the descent, they’re gone. It doesn’t sound like the thrusters are trustworthy enough to take this risk.

Zip ties belong on there somewhere.

Which then beget the second golden era: Hader, Poehler, Fey, Forte, Wiig, Sudekis, Samburg, Armison, and the inevitable rise of Parnell. I was a huge fan of the Ferrell era, and I felt it started to fall off when Fallon hit the scene, but I’m glad I eventually went back to enjoy the most talented cast SNL has ever had.…

I’ll take a best of Hader, and the first volume of Will Ferrell was pretty good.

Yeah, I picked up on that too, but, outside of Meadows’s excellent career as a character actor and Silverman’s brief aughties shine, none of those listed have created much beyond their SNL caricatures, which were often the same basic caricature from sketch to sketch and movie to movie. If Farley had lived and gotten…

Yep, along with Dana Carvey. 

Sandler’s main movie run is so bad for films remembered so fondly by many; even today, I’ll still hear my students quoting that crap. 

All they had to do was go on youtube to find someone who’s never been paid for performing yet is infinitely better. I can’t stand Rob Schneider; he was never funny as a character actor and an asbolute bust as a leading man, seeminly trying to be a raunchier Jim Carey or something but incapable of that level of physical…

That era of SNL is profoundly overrated in terms of talent, especially by the “they couldn’t do that on TV today because woke” crowd. Sandler, McDonald, Spade, Schnieder, Miller, Nealon, Myers, and Rock were never that funny outside of the 90s comedy trashhole they created. I’ll give Myers credit for “Wayne’s World,”…

Reliability issues? Must be time to go back to the 4.0. I’ll take a base-model XJ Cherokee at 90s pricing, please.

Yeah, you never know what the heck you find in their 5-foot wide webs. 

I’m with you. My friends had 4-wheelers (one day a Yankee moved into the ‘hood and said “Are those yous guys ATVs” — we just kind of stared at him).

Kept on ice in a small cooler in the center console. 

Yeah, Ms. Baker, who was both mine and my parents’ bus driver, wouldn’t have had a problem. We are in a rural area, so, when she got upset, she would pull the bus over, walk the aisle and deal with the problem. Whoever did it would end up with a nice sting from her slap, a whoopin’ after she called their parents…

The 2.0L Theta II in my 2020 Veloster seized up at 15K. They put a new one in within two weeks, no questions asked. 30K later, things are still looking good. Hope it stays that way. I love the car! 

Obviously not a Dino Jr fan, is he? I'd be losing my shit but trying to play it cool and not start talking Fender Jazzmasters with J. 

Or an 80s/90s Ford or Chevy with the catalytic converter taken out to make it louder. I'd say 50% of the white boys at the school I teach at drive such a nuisance.
