The ZDX may look a bit ungainly, but a 300HP, AWD, big hatchback really neutralize any issues with the looks. I’d check to see if the timing belt has been replaced, as those are interference engines

Any car that’s all Trumped-out. You know the one. Trump bumper stickers, Trump Flags, hand-written Trump pronouncements. You just know that the driver is someone you never want to sit next to at a party.

A brand-new Infiniti QX80. There are so many better choices out there, and by “so many other choices” I mean “literally anything else”. I had the (dis)pleasure of driving one of these as a rental car and it is just as big on the outside, small on the inside, ungainly, and overpriced as I expected.

Any lifted full size pickup.

Wrangler with the “angry face” grille.

This makes the entire Russian market fall somewhere between Pennsylvania and California in terms of yearly new car sales.

My understanding is that Rivian is a direct sale like Tesla...the price is the price, unless they do what Tesla does and drop prices to be better compettive, but there is no negotiation.

I.... don’t... get it? It looks literally like a cab to a regular passenger car stuck to a frame with a bed. 

I sold my RTT because I got a dog. I put a normal shell on the back of my truck and the dog and I slept in it. Did that for a two years and got tired of having to unload and load the bed every damn day. I also got tired of sleeping with my German Shepherd. Dude is a bed hog and his shedding is insane! I camp 50-60…

My plan for bringing the dog is I’m going to add a 270-degree awning with side drop downs. Wife and kiddo can sleep “upstairs” in tent, while dog and I will be down under the closed-in awning.

I would even take a government requirement that ALL road mapping data needs to be collated into a single public repository so we don’t have five+ different companies all independently mapping the roads for themselves and their clients and we could instead possibly operate as a functioning society and act…

The idea that FSD is possible with no infrastructure updates is an insane pipe dream 

Yup- plus there needs to be consistent tech knowledge of all road blocks and construction. I can follow a cop if he waves me to go to a center lane, turn around, go left, etc. Self driving might see that the road is blocked but I doubt it can follow his hand signals. There’s a lot of common driving situations…

I pulled up to a gas station a few weeks ago that is “forward-only,” with signs saying so, and huge arrows on the ground.

We accidentally “took” someone’s spot once at a Costco. Except that they were apparently waiting for it at the end of the row--three or four cars over?!? It was empty, so we took it. We didn’t drive around them or anything because again, they were on the street at the end of the row. All of a sudden this woman and her…

Something similar happened to me in a packed Costco lot. The car facing mine had just left, so there was an empty spot there. As I got in the car, another car pulled up behind mine, waiting for my space.

This is why I aim for the farthest parking space possible. Nobody wants those, and I never have to fight for it. They’re all too busy fighting to save 5 minutes of walking. I’d rather have the exercise and less stress. 

better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

We’ve all had someone snipe the parking spot we’re CLEARLY waiting for, but this is another level- a level not unlike the time I pulled in to park in a tight spot, needed to reconfigure to not block in my neighbors, and as I pulled out the car across from me started to pull forward to take my spot as a pull-through. I…
