I agree. It’s hopefully going to be an interesting future in a way we didn’t expect, car-wise.

Almost every older car is small compared to modern cars, don’t you find?

They have locked away something I would not care about on a car I can’t afford to buy - I am surprisingly okay with this. I hate this paywall crap because who knows where it will end, but if you can buy this car, then you can probably cough up the extra without hurting too much.

Your choice is only practical if you never carry anything. I would like my next car to be an EV, but I also like the carrying capacity of my ute. Since I can’t keep both, my next car has to be a bigger EV than that one so it will allow me to carry something.  At present I’m waiting to see the Hyundai Ioniq 5 which…

You guys got to see a lot, hey. I imagine it would be interesting but hard as a child, because you’re always the ‘new kid’.  I hope it has been good overall for you.

So was artistic painting. The Olympics were.......interesting early on.

No doubt - I did not mean that everybody moves away - just that many people who go to college in the US seem to move away, not to mention getting jobs from your skillset might require it. It just seems that in my home state, most moves from where I live are to the capital, which is 2 hours drive away, not 2 days. I…

My mistake - I forgot that part. Even so, at least one person in every TV series and movie that emanates from the US seems to feature someone moving a ridiculous distance. As I said, I’ve moved 12 times in my life and the biggest distance was about 5 km, the approximate width of my Australian country town. I went…

**Facetious comment incoming**

It really does depend on your preference, doesn’t it?  I got nothing from Kid A or Amnesiac, while Pablo Honey is mainly for Creep, which is one of my favourite songs from any band - I would happily swap it for The Bends otherwise.  We are lucky to have had them at all :)

If I buy it, can I swap for Pablo Honey or OK Computer, one of the few perfect albums I have ever heard.

If you mean it couldn’t make a Saab any worse, you’re right. As a general design, though, no. I have always wondered how any of those three designs were chosen as OEM equipment, but each to their own. If you enjoy them as a car person, at least you’re into cars and have a reason for liking something.

No, it’s me that has spent my life trying to get them to consider interesting cars. My dad owned his most interesting car, an FC Holden, before I was born. They probably own their most interesting car as a couple right now, in their 70's. It’s a 2016 BMW X3, which they bought recently, which tells you all you need to…

Don’t be sorry about the length of the post, you have to try and make your case. All you did, though is show that spec lists don’t always make a better phone. The other phones you mention have bigger numbers in many things, but the only useful one every day is the battery size. The reason I would not buy those other…

The first five points each have some merit, but number six is just not accurate in my and millions of other people’s experience. You can think otherwise and I won’t try to dissuade you, but the evidence just isn’t there to support it.

I didn’t say I agreed with every manufacturing decision they make.  I merely pointed out that his take wasn’t grounded in reality based on my experience.

Can’t agree, sorry.  You can hate them all you want, though.

“Tesla is EXACTLY like Apple, and so are the consumers. It’s an abusive relationship of paying extreme amounts of money for an inferior and cheaply-built product that is somehow deemed “years ahead of its time.”

My current favourite EV is the Hyundai Ioniq 5, and this is looking better every day in the face of crap like this.  That choice may change as more cars emerge in the next 3-4 years before I retire, but it does not look like it will change to Tesla anytime soon, even if they reduced the price in Australia (which is…

I have never seen those plastic things before, I don’t think we have them in Australia. I thought it was patterned concrete at first. In any case, as someone else said, maybe hold onto the extra stone to fill in any low spots or gaps that appear. I live in an area where a few people have a second driveway, so I can…
