For that price, it’s probably cheaper to just buy a car. There are quite a few decent options for less than the $4k one would shell out for a weeklong rental. If I were going to Hawaii (let’s say Big Island) with my family in tow, I’d probably go with this Suzuki XL7 for $3k;

The evidence is digital.

It’s the packets. The reason is that restaurants have been doing a lot more takeout, and those that had ketchup bottles on the tables, or those big pumps that go into those little paper cups, have to switch to packets for delivery. Of course, if it’s takeout people can just have their own ketchup at home. This could…

That’s not a broken windshield, that’s a look of determination;

Every kid dips their nuggets in ketchup. Who as an adult buys nuggets when the far superior and perhaps less processed tenders are available?*

Counterpoint; if you go shopping when you’re not hungry,  you won’t buy the things you’ll want to eat when you’re hungry.

I don’t think this list is as important for birth year as it is for later when people were actually sentient and aware of these foods. My birth year is Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn, but go a few more years down the list and Pop Rocks played a much larger part in my childhood.

Good on them. I was in Watkins Glen a couple of weeks ago, and it’s really the center of Finger Lakes wine country, and lots of great farms and foods around there. Apparently there are good farmers markets and that sort of thing in the area so I suspect they’ll find customers there, but maybe at the other thing…

I know, but it’s an indication of a lack of professionalism and discipline. 

As someone who drives a 2020 RDX, I can say the power is definitely good, but there is a noticeable lag when flooring it from a stand-still or low speed. There have been a couple of occasions when I have expected a little more zip, only to find it come just a split second later than I’d hoped. I’m not sure it’s…

If you put mayo dressing on your cereal, yes that would be a salad.

There are a surprising number of immature people with plenty of money. Most of them buy pickup trucks though.

Y’know, I was kinda on the fence about buying a Tesla at some point. The biggest thing holding me back was the whole big touchscreen interface, which I admit I haven’t actually tried but I’m against in principle. But this “easter egg” really tips the scales for me; I don’t think I’ll ever buy a car from a company that…

Even if they’re charging it once a week instead of once a day, it’s still got to be a pain for city dwellers who don’t have their own charger. That’s the one thing holding me back from owning an electric car myself; I live in an apartment, in a city with very few charging stations. I’d have to leave my car overnight a…

“less likely to own their home” had me scratching my head. I wonder why you think that. I didn’t have much reason for thinking they are more likely to own their home than in the US though, and I figured one of us had to be right. So I looked it up, and it turns out, we’re both right! Home ownership in most European…

The article seems to imply that people don’t plug them in, but where is the data? I imagine most people who go to the trouble of buying a PHEV do plug them in. Especially in Europe.

I’m sure there are cars from every year that are great, if you look far enough afield. That said, I think I would be pretty lucky only to drive cars from my birth year, with some standouts like the BMW 2002, the Datsun 510, Ferrrari 365 GT, Mustang Boss 302, Chevelle SS... but I think if I had to pick one from 1970 it…

While I love the look of a Lotus Seven, I can’t get over how misaligned everything is on this car. And when compared to the price of an unmolested Triumph Spitfire, it just doesn’t seem worth it. 

I think you meant “sow.”

This is one of those things I’m not going google - just going to take your word for it.
