When my job mandated everyone back to the office, I tried to point out that I was the only one on the floor. (Not just the only one from my team or my company, literally the only person in over 17,000sqft of office space.) But they said that a rule was a rule and everyone had to go back in.

Parking. Where I live, downtown is all but vacant because nobody can afford to park. Metered street parking makes well over minimum wage and when I needed monthly parking near my office, it cost about 2/3 what I pay for rent.

I’ve seen a lot of comments about insurance, but I’ll be more specific and say glass insurance.

A guy in Calgary was disappointed enough that Chrysler didn’t build it that he took the Sawzall to his Oldsmobile 88 and made his own.

In 1995, Chrysler showed us the Atlantic concept and learned that the retro-future style was popular. They took that lesson and pooped out the PT Cruiser.

Every day I’m disappointed that they teased this and then never put it out. I’ll be even more disappointed when they do finally release it as another bland EV crossover.

Late-3rd gen Chevy Caprice. Peak 80's land yacht, but if you see one that hasn’t been driven into the ground, they’re really rather handsome cars. On top of that, they were GREAT to drive (that’s why police departments and cab companies clung to them for so long).

My dad once had an 8th gen Buick Riviera in what I believe was a 1 year only colour. It was a fairly dark green with a subtle blue and purple flop, but not a ridiculous chameleon paint. It was really unique, especially for the brand and the era.

FWIW, I actually quite like the Hyundai Ionoc 5, but I can’t help but think it will look incredibly dated in a few weeks.

Color.

Hey Boeing, y’all know that Loctite is a thing, right?

That’s what handbrake turns are for.

If you thought the Jetsons car was cool looking, there’s always the Suzuki X90.

Nobody’s put forth the bulbous asymmetry of the Nissan Cube?

The first new car I ever bought was a Saturn Ion Quad Coupe. Not a bad looking car, had a few options, but the most important thing was that it was (just) within my budget and it was NEW. The infatuation soon slipped away as I discovered just what a sloppy car it was, and knew that I had made a mistake.

Sailing [sey-ling] verb:

They should really try spraying some sort of protective coating on them to stop this sort of thing from happening. As a bonus, they could add different colors to this coating (though statistically, those colors would be silver, grey, black, and white).

So, the “My mom says I can’t get this shirt wet!” kids have grown up into “Elon says I can’t get this truck wet!” adults.

Watching the video, I had to wonder just how black the (searched and handcuffed) suspect needed to be for Officer Derp to yelp “I’m hit!” before soccer flopping on the pavement and stormtroopering his own vehicle before crawling away to find a Tesla to hide behind.

Absolutely anything that Citroën comes up with. Sure, it’ll do the job a solid 3% better than the standard, just with 30x as many parts and an average failure rate of “Oui”.
