At 54-years-old there are lots of things in my past that maybe shouldn’t be revisited; I’m not as bendable/repairable as I once was. And then my reptile brain sees this and thinks “yeah, maybe...”

Crashing into something at 45mph while sitting criss-cross-applesause in a cramped metal tub will now be the recurring nightmare that never before occurred to me.

An adult car is the one that just works and requires as little maintenance, thought and extra money as possible, so you can focus on your career and your life trajectory rather than on the fact that your car needs expensive things. What do you value more- a cool car or the ability to save enough to go on an awesome…

My wife is also a woman. Glad to know there’s another guy out there like me. /s

The answer is Buick. Forget the old-people stigma, the Envista starts at $23K, looks amazing, is small, easy to drive, frugal, and pampers you in every luxury way you can dream of. Small enough for the city but can handle a commute with equal aplomb. 

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 Lexus CT200h. Good mileage, luxury-ish and hatchback cargo practicality when needed in a pinch.

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…

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