The one in front! The Telluride EX with tow package is a workhorse. Tons of space, great towing for a crossover, super-reliable, quiet and comfortable. I easily get 24 mpg even with the roof box, and if I tuck in behind a truck, I can get 35. 

So I’m tempted to get a Wrangler as my second city car. I think I’m the rare case in which it makes some sense. I am moving from Dumbo, Brooklyn to Red Hook, Brooklyn at the end of the month, but my kids (7 and 5) go to school in Brooklyn Heights. That’s about 2.5 miles from the new place. There are no subways in Red…

If federal track ownership means raising the overpass is difficult, what about dropping the road 18 inches or whatever? Probably cheaper than elevating a railroad anyway. What about installing sacrificial “bars” at 11'7" about 50 yards or whatever before the overpass, giving drivers time to brake after their vehicle…

“Though, I have yet to see differences that total up to $7,000 or more.”

I’m considering doing something similar. I leased a Telluride at the beginning of the pandemic (we live in NYC and had been without a car for a few years—wanted to be able to take the kids out of the city for hiking, camping, etc. during the pandemic). Love the car, but am tempted by a CarMax offer of > $10k above the…

Excellent content. My observation: Red Dwarf is clearly a class 4 ship, but the show sort of spans classes 2, 4, 5 and 7.

Van Gogh probably spent no more than $50 bucks for the canvas and paint he used to create Starry Night. I’m not saying this 240 is a masterpiece, but I’m not saying it’s not a masterpiece...

So I have the prior version, the X100F. Although you can find great compact cameras that match or even exceed some of the specs of the X100V (or X100F) for $600 to $800 (eg, pixel count), these cameras offer some features that are very unique. I’ve also had the X100T and X100S... In short, they are really unique…

Just go for it and get a minivan. I would think a pilot would want to send the message “I’m reliable, conservative, and practical.” On point: https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/b1b1t685c6gzk4/A-Hedge-Fund-Manager-Who-Drives-a-Ferrari-Will-Probably-Underperform

“In a perhaps unsurprising new study,…

I’m genuinely curious. I put a lot of work into it...

Joule thief!

Here is a nice review from back in 2004 (I think the author actually won a Pulitzer for his work that year): http://articles.latimes.com/2003/sep/24/autos/hy-amg24

I bought a 2005 E55 back in 2010. It had a couple of electronics issues when I bought it, but the dealer fixed it up. No issues at all for the 3 years or so I had it, despite the extra wear of life in NYC (including the time my now wife drove it all the way to New London, CT in 2d gear).
