Tom is on the right track, as this is a boring yet obvious answer: If reliable mild luxury is what you are about, get however much used Acura/Lexus you are comfortable with paying. I just went to cars.com and set filters for Lexus, <$30k , and <50k miles and yeah, there’s a lot of variety.

CPO Mazda 3 is the correct answer here. The very DEFINITION of “luxury-ish”. Even the turbo ones have decent fuel economy. The hatchbacks aren’t the EASIEST to park because those C-pillars are enormous, but that’s a small price to pay for such a complete package. Maintenance and repairs should be pretty reasonable…

Shut up!!! They just need MOAR equipment that most governments only give to their military!!!!1111!!1111!11!!!one!!11!!1

Seriously. My city just can’t fill it’s roster because the pay is so bad. Make being a cop a financially-rewarding job and you’ll have people competing for those jobs. Better quality people, too.

“It’s unclear why the officer parked on the tracks”

We need to be paying our police officers more, so that they can afford to hire people who aren’t this goddamn stupid.

Officers responded by emptying their clips into the back of the departing train. 

America: Our problems are easily solvable but we won’t because the solutions are unpopular to those in power.

If you tried to drive in the US like you do in India, you would probably get in an accident in 5 minutes. Traffic rules are mere suggestions there, and the only way you’ll ever get anywhere is if you drive under that assumption. 

Lol just using your example (and I don’t inherently disagree, even as an indian person myself): Indian roads are literal mayhem. If anyone is going to figure out how to get where they need to go, unwritten rules or not, it’s an indian driver. The other drivers might not like it, but the passengers are going to have a…

Yeah this has bad news written all over it. I’m sure they will operate at a loss to make it seem like an affordable option at first. But what happens when they actually want to sell them to consumers and are inevitably still highly reliant on these remote drivers?

“Tesla Cybercab Will Be Remote Controlled Until FSD Improves”

This guy planned out every step, seemingly meticulously, then gunned down a well known CEO in the most surveilled city in the country, escaped in a way that left bullets with a message and a backpack full of Monopoly money, got out of the city successfully, but was found off a tip from a *McDonalds employee* and he…

Jesus! That is who they were getting ready to meet.

There are similarities though. Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth seem hellbent on forcing wood on innocent people.

I would not say wildly random. In Maine, a couple of accidents a year, often fatal, happen when logging trucks lose their loads, so to speak.

You can’t just strap the lumber down without saying “that’s not going anywhere”.

Lumber trucks, logging trucks, trucks carrying drill pipe (lots of that in Central Alberta)... I hate being around all of them. They’re one bad decision or bad set of circumstances away from creating multiple impalements.

It’s a weird video, by design.

They’re in the process of being replaced by these new trucks (the NGDV) that come in both ICE and EV variants. I believe the first batch are all ICE but will transition to 75% EV later.
