“Gen Xers aren’t buying many sports cars because we all waited until we were 47 to have babies. We are still pushing strollers.”

No, millennials are almost entirely the offspring of the boomers. There is, of course, overlap on both sides. My parent are boomers and I’m middle of Gen X, but they had their kids young.

Amen. When I was very young, my dad put a board over the footwell in the backseat of his ‘70 Monte Carlo so my brother and I could play back there with our toys as we road-tripped for vacation. I remember rolling around and laughing any time we took a turn.

I still have a quart of oil in the trunk of my car at all times. You guessed it, BMW.

That’s an oversimplification. This is not usually a random woman, random man situation. It’s usually power-based. Now if some young male executive got grabbed by a senior female executive, I suspect the response would be very similar to what women are describing here.

Ironically, this is all happening in Delaware, the state of “Liberty and Independence.”

Totally did the M-80s in the pond. Bottle rocket wars. Shooting roman candles at your buddy’s car out of an open passenger window. Finding infinitely creative ways to blow up plastic army men. Once sawed off the caps from shotgun shells, poured the gunpowder into a dead stump and fused it. Stupid, stupid, fun, stupid.

When the Indians won the ALDS, the New York Times main coverage was almost entirely about Big Papi. Inexplicably bad sports writing.

When they finally brought the WRX over to the states, Subaru’s appeal was cheap performance. It’s ugly looks were made appealing because of what the car could do. It’s like the automotive equivalent of Snoop Dogg.

I think there is likely a marked divide in opinion between people in crowded urban areas and those in rural and, even, less populous cities. I still enjoy driving, except in stop-and-go traffic. Lots of people know no other existence than that.

I agree with this list, especially the first item, and will add one more: I get upset when people end a sentence with quotes and leave the period outside the quotation mark. Unless you’re British. Then, it’s okay.

Every single car, except maybe the minivan, would be more enjoyable around Monaco. Yeah, he’s right.

Surprised you’re getting so much heat for this. I’m in agreement. The bike is not off the hook, but the car pulling out clearly gummed up the works here.

Cars aren’t just faster, they’re more capable. When I started driving, the ‘84 Buick Skyhawk I had was a handful at 60 mph. The early 90s Civic I had next was cake at 60, but flying at 80. The modern cars I have now cruise at 80 smoothly, stop quickly and make emergency lane changes with very little drama.

“Even mom’s Vibe...”

I remember driving with my empty 4x8 HarborFreight trailer one day, fully lighted, and not once, but twice, having idiots run into it at a stoplight.

Always liked these, but agree they are ugly beautiful.

I can’t tell if this is serious or sarcastic. Aesthetics are subjective, certainly, but best looking Honda ever made?

Clearly, you’ve never driven a commercial vehicle.

I started watching this and though, the only thing that would check all the stereotypical bad driver boxes, is if she’s driving a Toyota. Then the video panned back and I’m pretty sure it’s a Camry. Can anyone confirm?
