thats is bullshit. I want no part of millenialism. 1980+ for those Y types. Children of the 70's X all day.

Europe. Majority of cars are manual.

I'm impressed by the red velour interior of the Police Car.

I bet more examples of this era of Camry made it into the second decade of the next century than any other car without a 3800 under the hood.

I own one as a winter beater. Best $1000 car Ive ever owned.

Not if you desperately want the data to suit your desired narrative! This is literally saying "A group with 65% more people bought only 1% more cars." Saying "they buy more cars after all, see?!" would get you fired in my business.

1977 here. No fucking way am I a millenial. No way.

By nearly all marketers' definition, Gen-X was '66 to 80 and "Y" as 80/81-1995ish. The "Baby Boom" was clearly 1946-1965. I'm not sure how Power re-established these well-known goal posts.

Oh good, those dumbass Millenials are finally getting their shiWAIT A SECOND.

Considering the ridiculous prices people want on used cars, you're better off buying new for anything less than 4 or 5 years old. Some used cars are the same price they were brand new.

I know this sounds not-jalop enough or whatever, but this is why I buy new cars. They're all new and shiny and have warranties and I pay for depreciation rather than repairs. Just a personal choice really. Paying for a repair always made me think, "I'd rather just have a car payment instead of this".

I second this. Though I'm a bit more partial to the Seattle to Bainbridge run. As mentioned below, I believe it moves more people than Amtrak annually. Added bonus, you can take your car with you. I'd like to see The Tube or NYC pull that off.

While not limited to one city, per se; I nominate the Washington State Ferry system. Among the largest ferry systems in the world, and also moves a metric ass load of people. Last I checked, which has been a while, the Seattle to Bainbridge route alone moves more people than Amtrak (annually).

There's a great irony in the fact that in the DC Metro "the station architecture feels like Soviet Russia"

Washington DC!!

If we're going for American cities here, I'd have to say my hometown of DC. Yes, there are times when the Metro doesn't run on time and you have to wait around for upwards of 10 minutes for a train. And yes, sometimes the buses don't run quite on time. The truth is, though, for America, it's pretty fantastic.

I nominate DC Metro. It has its fair share of problems (delays, derailment, escalator outages, etc.) but it's clean, station architecture is amazing, and it's home to one of the longest escalators (from Wikipedia: This station features the longest set of single-span escalators in the Western Hemisphere, each featuring

Every blow-up mascot is as unashamedly pointless as the next, from fat dudes in tightie whities to gorillas to wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube men.

Murrica!!!
