Why wouldn’t you admit it?

Also, it costs like 500 bucks to get a 240v outlet installed; it’s a non-issue in the cost of a car and fuel. 

This is like, the first time I’ve agreed with Mr. Brownell. This is 100% a defensible position. There are plenty of families out there where 1 car is solely a commuter car and the other is the family hauler/road tripper. Hell, the two daily driven vehicles in my household fit that description perfectly.

There are…

Range is fine. The concept that people would have two cars in their household with totally different driving needs is also fine. Worthless suicide doors that tell the insurance the car is a four door are great.

It’s fine, actually.

How many articles is Jalopnik going to write about the MX-30 and it’s “too short to be useful” range?

When Mazda is ready to sell a full-blown EV, I’m sure it will be something special.  This is a compliance car, and nothing more. 

1st and 2nd gears:

No, I’ve never stolen a bike.

The healthcare system IS overwhelmed. There are massive nursing shortages leading to very lucrative travel contracts backed by FEMA money. And part of the rationale for the CDC’s revised guidance is so healthcare workers can return to work more quickly.

I care because a great many of my friends are in their 70's-80's and even though they are vaccinated their immune systems aren’t up to snuff anymore. I feel Omicron is spreading at a time when most people are more or less giving up. Sure. It appears to be less severe than Delta. The jury is out on how much less. I’ve…

“If the day comes where we get a truly horrifying virus that has a 10%+ fatality rate its going to be mass carnage”

“should people really be continuing like nothing’s wrong?”

Eh, this sounds like Delta asked the question that should be asked, which is: “Does what we know now, and the situation we’re in now, warrant continuing with a policy that’s from a year prior (give or take) and when we didn’t have the protections we have in place now?”

Fewer occupants die in SUVs per mile driven. And they have lower occupant insurance injury payouts. Depends on how you define safe. I’ll take less likely to die or be injured when choosing where to put my family. 

I’ve seen videos of Miatas and Corvettes flipping. Your point is invalid.

This is entirely the point of the morning shift. 

Name checks out.

That is a Bradley Brownell level bad take. GTFO with that bullshit.

But THAT, isn’t THIS.

1. A car that was just totaled, without full coverage
