Back that truck somewhat the fuck up and get that lazy portmanteau outta here. There’s a far more meaningful name for the interstitial cohort of late-stage GenXers and early Millennials: the Oregon Trail Generation.

I used to be all about the Sweet Baby Ray’s as my go-to barbecue sauce but I’ve moved on to something better-er. . .

The Rushing Woodpecker?

“This seems like a lot, but it undercuts other stylish European offerings like the Vespa Elettrica. . . . . .I would probably jump up to something like a Zero FXS (which also has hot-swap batteries) for electric commuting for the price of the Ösa+.”

Well, I suppose; this time Toyota didn’t have to leave Japan to buy someone else’s sportscar.

There’s a few sources that try to make it seem like a Toyota initiative (ironically, including Yamaha’s global site*) but some Google-Fu shows that Yamaha more or less was shopping an already completed concept vehicle. The key…

Toyota can’t take too much credit for the 2000GT; it was originally created by Yamaha.

Seriously, you just clench your teeth and hope you don’t lunch a wheel or strut. I’ve seen this done for other states but here in the Commonwealth. . .

This. About two days after the snow’s plowed, the lines outside of the carwash become five-ten deep all day. Like you said, spend the extra dollar and upgrade to the “premium package” to get the underbody spray.*

That said, PennDOT and the locals are absolutely barbaric with their plows and the certain roads become…

Holden shut down!?

Whether that statement holds as much water today, it’s a historical fact. There’s a reason the Big Three pushed big trucks hard prior to the financiapocalypse: the profit margins are immense.

Every British car problem solved.

Do Peugot engineers do anything right? Just curious as they seem to be the touch-of-death to any inter-company engineering exercise.

Part of the “WWII loser’s reunion” my handle references is an E90 335i. One of the rare-ish N55-powered ones, but with xDrive because I’m a glutton for punishment.  Pray for my gaskets.

I wonder if people forget that it’s secretly a BMW under all that Union Jackery.

True, but I’d like a better idea of the ballpark I’m in before I go buy a bat. There’s some cool lightweight travel trailers with all the amenities my wife and I want that “fit” in-between the two sets of main FCA numbers I have: e.g. its heavier than the ‘Murrica rating but under the Euro tow weight rating but…

And this is what gives me fits every single time I try to figure out what I can tow with a manual Renegade. Been a minute but the dance goes something like this:

FCA US says, “oh no, motherfucker, you need the autotragic.” And then gives a max towing weight of 2000lbs with a 200lb tongue weight. Now, FCA Euro says…

Especially once you factor in the legit rules plus a healthy dose of cheating.

To elaborate on smalley’s comment: I assume Gambler works the same way, but in Lemons virtually everything “safety” related was exempted from your build total, plus “scavenger sales” of components counted towards reducing the initial cost.…

Shoulda scrolled further.  It wasn’t just me!

Hmm, Eda’s character design seems oddly familiar. . .

Today, here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I had rain, sun, more rain, overcast, sun, flurries because-why-the-hell-not? and a temperature that went for high 40's-low 50's into the 30's in the space of an afternoon. I don’t know what fucking season it wants to be. Welcome to the mid-Atlantic.

Hmm. . . . I feel a little like I’m moving the goalposts but this example is so close: the amateur economist in me really wants to pull out the “market forces” weasel card and claim it was a response to slow sales, not active cries of being overpriced. Granted, I might’ve missed the media/social context of the…
