New Orleans needs the potholes. Without them, what would hold all the water that smells of rotting death? Those potholes provide the city's distinctive aroma.

I came here to say just this. Despite all the commenters claiming they're too big, I've never had a problem fitting the Rimowa overhead. It's superlight - way lighter than softshells - and has the best casters you can buy. Criticisms about cost are valid - they are crazy expensive - but don't apply to this thread…

The choice is as much about the community of friends you play with as it is about the best version of the game.

It sure looks Fusion-ey to me. That isn't a bad thing. After all, the Fusion is a handsome car, but I just feel like Jag needs to be Jag-ier than this.

So now it's a $120k car? That's a 911 S or an R8 price. How well do Vipers retain value? That's going to determine a lot about the lease price, which drives a lot of the business. One of the things that's killing the Jaguar F-type right now is that the retained value is shit, so you end up paying as much for it as…

Thanks for that, it'll be stuck in head all day now.

It was 25% more work for a nut that nobody is arguing needs to be there.

Might be a bad truck, but it's a perfectly jalop car.

Sigh...westsiders.

What makes you think people who could create this clusterfun would even be able to program a toaster?

You neglect the option of leasing a CPO. Dealers don't like pushing this, but it's very much an option. My wife does this a lot, negotiating a price on the CPO then saying "okay, I want a lease on the car at that price". They usually sputter and say you can't lease a used car - you certainly can - and try to throw…

The shooting brake homage to the P1800. How long do I have to wait?

Shhhhh...pretty bird, it'll be okay.

Damn it! Why couldn't they just give him a shot? It's not like he was going to do any worse than Chilton.

He's right, of course, but when people talk about taking Eau Rouge flat out, they're really referring to the sequence of 3 corners beginning with Eau Rouge and not just the first corner.

Crossovers a popular because that most drivers - I mean non-enthusiasts - realize they are a way to get what they like about SUVs without the unnecessary bullshit. They can get the same higher seating position and volume of cargo capacity they like without buying a dolled-up truck. They have car handling, cost less,…

That could be just symptomatic of sampling bias. If a car is particularly reliable, then it could be that mechanics who deal with them are more likely to encounter them during big occasional failures rather than the myriad of smaller problems that might drive owners of less reliable cars to see a mechanic.

The problem isn't that Lincoln didn't already have a smell. It's just that the smell Lincoln has is the stench of death.

Political protip: do not throw your boss under the bus in the first paragraph when he's finally addressing your issues. Once you get what you want out of a negotiation, keep your comments about your adversary positive and highlight the proactive steps he is taking now.

That dude seems to genuinely believe they've somehow improved that structure. Seriously? They're just slobs whose presence adds no value. Totally aside from the issue of squatting - though I generally side with the author on that - these people are of no benefit at all. Anyone with the least skill and self…
